Candles are very much part of Christmas. Throughout the world people use candles as part of their festive celebrations. Candles are used as Christmas table centerpieces, as part of an outdoor Christmas light display or to add a touch of cheer to a window. While real candles can look stunning in a window display, they are not very practical and as such, when looking for candles for Christmas windows, plastic candles can be a wonderful alternative. Plastic candles are available in many styles and designs and offer many of the attractions of real candles, without the fears.

Plastic candles that are suitable for placing in the windows are also known as flameless Christmas candles. These are candles that are made from plastic or other materials and unlike real candles that rely on a burning flame, flameless candles are often lit by batteries or electricity. They give the illusion of candle light without the concerns of a candle getting knocked over or causing a fire. Types of Christmas window plastic candles include:

It is possible to buy ready made candle displays that can simply be placed into the window of a house. These are a good option for people who want a single display or who do not want several different design elements. These candle displays include traditional designs that may be a single large candle that is surrounded by smaller candles through to contemporary designs.

Some plastic candles can be attached to window glass. Plastic candles are typically light weight and some styles are attached to the glass using specially designed suckers. These are great for producing atmospheric and festive window displays. Flameless window candles have a very traditional feel and conjure up images of old black and white vintage movies where homes were decorated with candles at Christmas time.

In addition to plastic candles, decorations in the shape of candles are also popular at Christmas time. Unlike flameless candles, these plastic candles do not have a light and are simply decorative. These candles can be large and dramatic and can take up a whole of a window display or they can be smaller plastic candles that can be grouped together for a stunning display.

Plastic candles can look great, but only if they are looked after properly. Here are some tips to help you get the most from your plastic candles:

• Keep them clean – plastic candles look stunning when they are clean and free from dust. However they can look shabby when they are dirty. A quick wipe with a clean and lint free cloth will help to keep them looking their best.
• Storage – plastic candles can be fragile. Therefore they are best stored wrapped in paper and placed in a protective box. This will help to ensure that they look their best for years to come.
• Out of direct sunlight – some plastics discolor in the sun. Although this might not be an issue when candles are displayed during the winter, it is best to ensure that plastic candles are not in full sunlight for any long period of time.

Plastic candles can be a great option for window displays. They offer many of the advantages of real candles without many of the disadvantages. This is a great way to decorate the home for the festive period.
