There's something unique about waiting for Christmas. Each day in December carries a certain excitement that makes the season magical. It's to extend this pleasure that we created the SOJA&CO. Advent Calendar, which has become a true tradition for thousands of Quebec families over time. And this year, it's back for its 4th edition!
Our 2025 Advent Calendar promises to be even more magical. More refined, more generous, more luminous… it was designed to accompany each of your December evenings, making the wait for the holidays a ritual as comforting as it is unforgettable.
A Luminous Ritual for Every December Evening
Imagine: it's cold outside, snow is falling softly, and you light a new candle when you come home. The fragrance gradually spreads, enveloping the room in a comforting atmosphere. Each small flame becomes an invitation to slow down, savor the moment, and take a pause in the holiday whirlwind.
23 Days of Scented Little Attentions
For 23 days, you'll discover delicate 1 oz candles, hand-poured in our Quebec workshops. Each offers 6 to 8 hours of scented bliss, ideal for 2-hour maximum sessions. They're perfect to accompany your family dinners, your Christmas movie nights, or your relaxation moments with hot chocolate.
These natural soy mini candles are presented in lovely amber jars that diffuse a warm light. Their compact format allows you to easily move them from room to room, creating a festive ambiance wherever you are in the house.
The Grand Finale on December 24th
And then, on December 24th, comes the grand finale: a 4 oz candle that will shine for nearly 25 hours. This is this year's big innovation! It was designed to illuminate your Christmas Eve, like an ultimate gift that extends the magic of this ritual until Christmas and even beyond.
This generous candle will accompany you for several evenings after the holidays, allowing you to keep a bit of that winter magic until the heart of January.

Olfactory Notes for Every Taste
Our fragrance selection covers a wide range of ambiances:
Woody and spicy notes recall forest walks and evenings by the fire. Think Canadian cedar, warm cinnamon, invigorating eucalyptus.
Gourmand fragrances evoke holiday baking: gingerbread, vanilla cookies, hot chocolate, caramel and hazelnut notes.
Fresh and wintry scents capture the essence of the season: peppermint, balsam fir, blood orange, frosted berries.
Each candle tells a story, evokes a memory, creates a unique atmosphere. It's this diversity that makes the SOJA&CO. Advent Calendar a complete and never boring olfactory experience.
An Eco-Responsible and Refined Box
A Design Crafted Down to the Smallest Details
This year, we redesigned the box to be as beautiful as it is practical. Adorned with golden accents and embossed patterns, it opens thanks to a satisfying magnetic closure. With each click, you feel like you're unwrapping a true luxury gift!
The calendar's design marries contemporary elegance and holiday warmth. The illustrations evoke December's magic while remaining timeless, allowing the box to integrate harmoniously into any decor.
Our Commitment to the Planet
Made from recycled and entirely recyclable cardboard, printed with soy ink, our eco-responsible Advent Calendar embodies our values: beauty, sustainability, and environmental respect.
At SOJA&CO., we believe we can offer luxurious products without compromising our commitment to the planet. Every element of this calendar was designed to minimize our ecological footprint:
- 100% recycled cardboard from responsible sources
- Vegetable soy-based ink, biodegradable and without toxic compounds
- Minimal packaging, without superfluous plastic
- Natural soy wax candles, renewable and biodegradable
- Local production in Quebec, reducing transportation-related emissions
Placed under the tree or on a table, it becomes a decorative object in its own right, as beautiful to display as it is to give. After the holidays, the box can even be reused to store your little treasures or serve as a decorative box.
Why Choose a Scented Candle Advent Calendar
The Advantages of Natural Soy Candles
Unlike traditional chocolate calendars, a candle Advent Calendar offers a sensory experience that transforms your space. SOJA&CO.'s natural soy candles have many advantages:
Clean and healthy combustion: Soy wax burns cleaner than paraffin, without releasing harmful toxins. Perfect for creating a healthy atmosphere in your home.
Optimal fragrance diffusion: Soy wax has a lower melting temperature, which allows for slow and constant diffusion of fragrances over several hours.
Superior burn time: For equal volume, a soy candle burns 30 to 50% longer than a paraffin candle.
Environmental respect: Soy wax comes from a renewable resource, is biodegradable and sustainably cultivated.
A Unique Multi-Sensory Experience
A scented candle calendar doesn't just count the days. It creates an ambiance, a ritual, a daily pause moment. The soft light of the flame soothes, the fragrance envelops, and the gesture of lighting a candle becomes a meditation, a moment of mindfulness in the holiday frenzy.
It's also a gift that lasts: unlike chocolate that disappears in a few seconds, each candle offers you several hours of pleasure, extending the experience well beyond the opening moment.
A Tradition to Give Yourself or Share
For All Artisanal Candle Lovers
Lighting a candle is much more than a gesture. It's creating an ambiance, giving yourself a bubble of sweetness, sometimes even making a memory. Our Advent Calendar is designed as a modern tradition, to experience alone to take care of yourself, as a couple to share a moment of complicity, or as a family to bring everyone together around a simple and luminous ritual.
For yourself: Give yourself a daily self-care moment in December. After a long day, light your candle of the day, settle in comfortably, and let stress evaporate with the diffusing fragrance.
As a couple: Create a ritual for two by opening each box together in the evening. It's an opportunity to reconnect, discuss your day in a dimly lit and scented ambiance.
As a family: Make the daily opening of the calendar an anticipated family moment. Children love the suspense of discovering which fragrance hides behind each box!
The Perfect Gift for the Holidays
With its 24 hand-poured soy candles made in Quebec, our calendar becomes a faithful companion that punctuates the month of December and transforms waiting for Christmas into a rich and comforting sensory experience.
It's the ideal gift for:
- Candle and home fragrance enthusiasts
