Did you know that the peppermint candle has a rich history of being associated with Christmas? It is believed that candy canes were invented to symbolize many different things associated with Christmas.

In addition, many people say the peppermint flavor even was created with Christmas in mind. After all, overeating at Christmas is common and peppermint has always been known as a natural way to stop the stomach pains associated with overeating and other issues.
