The World’s Largest Candle Store
400,000 Yankee Candles in nearly 200 signature scents will make your house feel like a home from spring’s fresh fragrances like Citrus Tango and Under the Palms to the smells of Christmas like Balsam & Cedar and Christmas Cookie; however, candles are not all the 90,000- square-foot Yankee Candle Village has to offer. In addition to being the world’s largest candle store, Yankee Candle Village is filled with charming, rustic merchandise for the home. Bears, moose and other friendly forest creatures appear on candle accessories, doorknockers, hooks, pillows, lampshades, pottery, wall art and flags. Table linens and coordinating window valences are available in warm plaids. Whimsical birdhouses wait to grace your own backyard kingdom. A kitchen outfitted for the holidays with gingerbread ornaments and accessories creates instant nostalgia.
The World’s Greatest Christmas Shop
Bavarian Christmas Village
Meander through a Bavarian Christmas Village featuring a 25-foot rotating Christmas tree and a glockenspiel clock tower. The Bavarian Village was a key to launching Yankee Candle Village’s theme “It’s always Christmas at Yankee Candle” and helped make the flagship store one of New Englander’s most popular attractions.
Black Forest
Next door, in the enchanting Black Forest, snow falls intermittently all day long. Marvel at decorated Christmas trees and a miniature train chugging along a track suspended from the ceiling.
Nutcracker Castle
Travel through the Waterfall Courtyard and Nutcracker Castle. Inside you will find nutcrackers from around the world, Medieval-style home décor and a treasure trove of toys. Nutcracker Castle also houses Santa’s Workshop, where you can visit the Clauses and watch animated elves busily preparing for the holiday season.
