Orlando, FL (September 2025) —To celebrate the 40th anniversary of the legendary The Golden Girls, Candier® is proud to launch a limited-edition candle duo inspired by the fearless, funny, and fabulous women who broke barriers long before it was trendy. The collection honors Blanche, Dorothy, Rose, and Sophia for redefining what it means to be strong, independent, and unapologetically oneself.

The Golden Girls tackled everything from family drama and friendship to aging gracefully and fighting for equality, always with wit and wisdom. Just like the Girls, Candier® believes women deserve to shine at every stage of life. This collaboration is more than a candle drop, it is a tribute to sisterhood, smashing glass ceilings, and lighting up the world with one’s own unique glow.

Each nine-ounce candle is lovingly crafted in tiny batches, poured by hand in the USA with premium soy wax and clean fragrance oils. They are cruelty-free, phthalate-free, paraben-free and lead-free, offering a cleaner, longer-lasting burn that meets and exceeds industry safety standards.

“The Golden Girls is more than a fun show. It’s a cultural touchstone that empowered generations of women to laugh, love, and live fiercely,” said Krysten Kauder, founder of Candier®. “This collection is our way of saying, ‘thank you for being a friend,’ while keeping the flame of empowerment burning bright for today’s community of strong, confident women.”

About “The Golden Girls”

Critically acclaimed series “The Golden Girls” premiered in 1985 and follows four vibrant friends sharing life and laughter in Miami: strong-willed Dorothy Zbornak (Bea Arthur), sweetly naive Rose Nylund (Disney Legend Betty White), flirtatious Blanche Devereaux (Rue McClanahan) and wise-cracking Sophia Petrillo (Estelle Getty). The show’s magic has bridged generations, delighting original TV audiences and new streaming viewers alike. Though these distinctive personalities occasionally clash, their enduring friendship — celebrated in the theme song “Thank You for Being a Friend” — remains the heart of this beloved series. “The Golden Girls” is one of only four sitcoms where every performer in the main cast won at least one Emmy® Award. The series won 11 Emmy Awards overall, including two wins for Outstanding Comedy Series, and earned four Golden Globes® and several other prestigious industry honors. The iconic series ranked among the Nielsen ratings’ Top 10 for six of its seven seasons and ranked 18 out of Variety’s 100 Greatest TV Shows of all time.
