What could be more Christmassy than peppermint candy canes and fun Christmas music?
Let delicious peppermint fill the air around you as you sing these Mormonized lyrics to that old Christmas classic: 🎵 I saw Mommy soaking with Santa Claus 🎅🎶
Just don't burn this at the office unless you're ready to explain to your never-Mormon coworkers what—ahem—soaking is!
SCENTS
This scent isn't complicated, but it sure is yummy. Light this candle to get a Christmas zing of peppermint! It smells just like those candy canes that Santa would leave in your stocking...if you were on the nice list, of course. (Which you definitely wouldn't be if you'd been soaking!)
• Top Notes: peppermint
• Middle Notes: peppermint
• Base Notes: hints of vanilla
CANDLE INSPIRATION
This candle name is obviously inspired by that classic Christmas song, "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus". But with a cheeky Mormon twist!
If you don't know what soaking is, consider yourself lucky 😉
Soaking is a hilariously cringe-worthy workaround to the law of chastity. To be clear, soaking is not allowed within Mormonism. It's absolutely something you'd need to repent for. And, unfortunately, it's still very much part of that class of sins that are considered "next to murder". (For other candles that strain the law of chastity, check out Mood Lighting for My Little Factory and Licked Cupcake from our permanent collection.)
If you'd like to know exactly what soaking is, keep scrolling! I'm going to put a few extra lines before the explanation because, well, this is not safe for work!

And, if you're looking for a longer explanation, the wonderful Exmo Lex is has a whole video on soaking!
Haven't you always wanted a scrumptious peppermint candle about soaking? We thought so!
QUALITY + SUSTAINABILITY
All ExMo Candles are hand-poured in small batches, and each of our recipes is tweaked and tested before coming online. We take pride in the quality of our candles.
Our candles are also vegan-friendly, made and packaged sustainably, and pthalate-free. Our commitment to sustainability includes a partnership with One Tree Planted, where we donate the money to plant 100 trees for every 100 candles sold.
Finally, the removable labels on our jars make them easy to upcycle. Woohoo!
DISCREET PACKAGING
We know that you might be living with members of the church, or heck, that your mailman might be Mormon. For that reason, we've chosen not to brand our outer packaging in any way. No one will be able to tell from the outside of the box that you've ordered anything related to being an ex-Mormon. This includes the shipping label, which will simply say it's from Jen + Adri.

Obviously it’s hilarious, and I can’t wait for my nevermo friends to see it- ultimate conversation piece! It also smells delightful, subtle and clean, pleasant but not overwhelming. All the little details that go into the packaging are so fun. 10/10 would recommend.

The name of this candle is hilarious and I have gotten multiple guffaws and laughs from friends and family that see it when I have it lit during holiday parties. The best part of this candle is that Mormons and ExMormons alike can laugh at the bizarreness of this piece of the culture, and so I loved lighting it during the holidays as an inside joke with everyone, regardless of their Mormon membership status. It also smells great!

This is one I can laugh about with TBM family, too. I’d love to have more candles that walk that line, so please do let me know if you have any ideas! Here’s to healing and GIGGLES!

The peppermint smells soooo goooood! Like it’s not minty which sometimes peppermint can be but this is a sweet version of peppermint that actually smells like a candy cane. It smells so GOOD.

When I bought this candle, I expected a standard peppermint scented candle. What I got was so much more! There’s a depth to this scent, kind of buttery if that makes sense. Do you know those peppermint puff candies that melt in your mouth? The experience of burning this candle is just like eating one of those candies! As usual, the packaging was done with great care and my husband loved the fact this candle came with matches. Highly recommend!

I *need* this candle to be restocked for holidays. It is the perfect conversation starter to drop onto unsuspecting friends and family, and also it smelled extraordinary.
