Description: This is the flagship store of the Yankee Candle Company and is a shopping and tourist destination in its own right. The huge 90,000-square-foot store is filled with every type of the company’s signature style of scented glass-jar candles, soaps, and knickknacks. The store keeps the Christmas spirit alive all year with its Bavarian Christmas Village, where Santa is on hand every day and it “snows” even in summer. Afterward head to Mrs. Claus’ Bakery Cafe for a snack or enjoy a more leisurely meal at Chandler’s.
