“It’s the best and busiest day of the year at Bath & Body Works,” they added.

Candle Day comes a few months after the company had to issue an apology after facing backlash for a candle that resembled the white hoods worn by the Ku Klux Klan.

The outside of the “Snowed In” candle showed a printed paper snowflake, with the outer prongs of the snowflake appearing similar to the hoods worn by the KKK — the white supremacist group that terrorized the South throughout the latter half of the 19th century. Their trademark white hoods feature a tip with cutouts for their eyes.

“We are committed to listening to our teams and customers and committed to fixing any mistakes we make — even those that are unintentional like this one,” a representative told The Independent.

“We apologize to anyone we’ve offended and are swiftly working to have this item removed and [are] evaluating our process [going] forward.”
