CANDLE LOVERS REJOICE: BATH & BODY WORKS ANNUAL CANDLE DAY IS BACK!

Retailer announces details for the beloved candle sale and brand-created national holiday

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Dec. 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The most highly anticipated shopping event of the year for Bath & Body Works customers and candle aficionados is making its return for 2022. Annual Candle Day, now in its 11^th year, is back and better than ever. This year's event features an exclusive Candle Day assortment, My Bath & Body Works Rewards Member exclusive early access and the lowest 3-wick candle price of the year.

Bath & Body Works will celebrate its 2022 Annual Candle Day Friday, Dec. 2 and Saturday, Dec. 3. During the event all 3-wick candles will be $9.95 (retail value: $25.50–$32.50), marking a return to pre-pandemic Candle Day pricing, which is a decrease from the previous year's sale price.

"Annual Candle Day has become a beloved holiday tradition for Bath & Body Works customers for more than a decade," said Jamie Sohosky, Chief Marketing Officer at Bath & Body Works. "This holiday season, we know quality and value matter more than ever to our customers. When planning Candle Day 2022 it was important to not only offer an expansive and exciting assortment, but also ensure customers could buy a candle for less than $10. We truly wanted to make it easier for customers to gift their loved ones the World's Best 3-wick Candle — and of course, treat themselves to a few!" 

Also new this this year, Bath & Body Works is giving members of its loyalty program, My Bath & Body Works Rewards, exciting new Candle Day perks. In addition to earning points for every Candle Day purchase, members will also be able to participate in Early Access for Candle Day and shop the event first, both through the My Bath & Body Works Rewards App and online at bathandbodyworks.com. Member only early access is Thursday, Dec. 1 from 8 p.m. to midnight EST.  Customers who aren't currently enrolled should sign up for the My Bath & Body Works loyalty program prior to the event to take advantage of the program's most exciting benefit of the year.

Over the course of its 11-year history, millions of Americans have shopped the once-a-year event, with many customers planning for the shopping event months in advance. Candle Day spurs social media conversation and online search traffic as early as July each year and is consistently a top Google search trend throughout the event. The event also drives outsized traffic to stores in droves, with lines reminiscent of Black Friday.

"Candle Day is more than just shopping," said Bonnie Diczhazy, My Bath & Body Works Rewards member and 10-time Candle Day shopper. "It's a way to connect with friends and family, experience new fragrances and participate in a joyous event with other candle lovers!"

This year's Candle Day is the first since the nationwide launch of My Bath & Body Works Rewards, giving members the opportunity to earn rewards for their Candle Day purchases and highly sought-after early access to shop the event first!

As part of this year's Candle Day, customers will be able to shop more than 150 candles across 120 Bath & Body Works-exclusive fragrances, including nearly 40 limited-edition candles dropping exclusively for the event. New candles arriving for Candle Day include:
