We just purchased this candle at Bed Bath and Beyond with a coupon not truly knowing what to expect. This candle filled the house with a festive scent that gave you a wonderful holiday feel. We didn't get a tree this year, but it sure smells like we did! We plan on stocking up on this scent and planning on trying other scents by this company since this was our first Yankee Candle purchase. I would definitely give this candle as a gift. :)

While other reveiwers have given this candle a 5-star rating, I have to give it a 3 mainly because the scent was too weak for me. Personally, I like candles to pack some "punch" when they burn and Mistletoe, while a pleasant smelling candle, is not as strong as some of the other Yankee candle scents.

The candle smells good while in the store and does smell okay when burning, but the scent is just a little too weak for me. The scent is definitely piney, but could have been stronger (in my humble opinion).

If you like a candle with a subtle piney scent, then this one's for you. Otherwise, get another scent if you like something stronger.

I'm a huge fan of Yankee Candle, especially their Housewarmer line. I'm also a huge fan of the Christmas season, so what a combo! The Mistletoe scent brings to mind a slightly semi-sweet yet refreshing Christmas greenery and pine boughs combination. Very "Christmasy", not overpowering!

I make sure to stock up on these for Christmastime, and I give smaller jars as gifts to friends.

I have tried many other brands of candles meant to scent up whole rooms, and none come close to Yankee Candle in quality. I have a very sensitive sense of smell, and most other brands are either too weak, or are so overpowering as to make one nauseous!

Yankee Candle gets it "just right" every time. For Christmastime you can't beat the scent of Yankee Candle's Mistletoe!

I'm not a big Christmas guy. If I find myself sitting on the knee of some fat bearded guy at the mall, telling him what I wish for most and whether I've been a naughty boy, then I've got a whole world of problems I really don't want to think about.

Still, 'tis the season. So at my wife's insistence, I'm making an effort to find the "Christmas spirit" this year. Where by "find", of course I mean "buy".

Mistletoe is an old Christmas standby, and romantic to boot. But who wants some hacked-off bit of poisonous plant looming over their doorway? Better, I thought, to bring the tradition home in candle form. I'm not usually so keen on the aromas of things that end in 'toe', but I have to say, this candle smells really nice and piney fresh.

As mistletoe, it's another story. I tried angling for a smooch from my sweetie the other day, lifting the candle above our heads in the established mistletoe tradition. Sadly, the candle is rather heavy, and when I leaned in for a peck I accidentally dropped it on my own head. I thought I was getting a kiss, and instead I wound up on the floor bleeding from a head wound and trying to remember the name of the letter that comes after 'G'. And that doesn't spell "Christmas" in my book.

More like "junior prom", from what I can recall. At least that came with a boutonniere and a flask full of Boone's Farm. Now all I've got is memory loss and this smelly green candle.

Very pleased - the subtle scent fills the room very smoothly. I think its a little pricey but I had some less pricey ones before and I will buy yankee anytime over the other ones

This review is not for the candle itself, which is amazing, although overpriced. It is for Yankee Candle's extremely poor customer service. They took over 3 weeks to ship my order, and when I called and sent emails, they were rude and unhelpful. They didn't answer my questions or adequately address my concerns. They said they would refund my shipping cost, but haven't as of yet, after numerous calls and emails. Several times I tried to call and couldn't even get through- got a busy signal or a recording saying the wait would be over 30 minutes!! So I actually had to call a different department and talk to someone who didn't know anything about their shipping/customer service policies. Ridiculous! I will never order from them again, which is a real shame, since I love their candles!
