On a whim, I bought flameless taper candles for each window, and now I wish I’d discovered them sooner. They’ve made a huge difference in my outdoor lighting setup, and they look festive next to the twinkling icicle lights on my porch. Even better? They’re battery-powered and have timer settings, so they’ll shine all season long.

Below I’m sharing the set I’ve been using (and loving), plus flameless candles that give Christmas decorations, holiday tablescapes, and windows a major glow-up. From taper candles to tea lights, these flickering candles are the ideal finishing touch to your décor, and they start at just $15.

Mumchasi Christmas Flameless Candle Set

This festive four-pack, made with real wax, comes with Christmas tree-shaped taper candles and pillar candles. The timer settings, brightness, and flicker mode can all be adjusted via remote control. They display soft yellow light that mimics a real flame — ideal for adding a warm glow to holiday tablescapes, mantles, or windows. One shopper called them their “cutest Christmas purchase” and said the “battery life was great and the remote was easy to use.”

Yaungel Flameless Window Candles

I bought this 10-pack of flameless taper candles to decorate my windows — and I’m so glad I did. They have timer settings in two-hour increments for up to eight hours, meaning I can “set them and forget them” overnight. Each candle takes two AA batteries and lasts for a whopping 100 hours of continuous lighting. Plus, they come with both suction cups and candlestick holders for versatile display options.

One passerby in my neighborhood said that my house “looks like a Christmas card” with a flickering candle in every window. Best of all, these realistic flameless candles can be used for year-round accent lighting, and I intend to do just that.

Afineth Large 3-Wick Flameless Candle

If you want to illuminate your holiday tablescape, this large flameless candle makes a beautiful centerpiece. Thanks to its dimmer settings and flicker modes, the flame looks like it’s dancing inside the glass pillar. It also has four timer modes that you can set to cycle every 24 hours. Choose from gold, gray, or clear glass options. One shopper said it “brings such a cute ambiance during the holidays” and noted that it was safe to use around their toddlers.
