How to proceed:
Flip your wine glasses over and place a tealight on top of each one.
Depending on the theme you choose, add a small decorative element in each of the glasses: a holly or fir or eucalyptus branch, a few cinnamon sticks, a Christmas ornament, a mini-cactus, a mini-gift, a wooden figurine ...

2. Kitchen salt for a snowy decor

3. A glass of champagne for a Scandinavian candlestick
What is wonderful about tealights is that they float! So, fill a few champagne flutes with water and put your candles in there, without their aluminum case.
For a "Wow!" effect, add a small fir, thyme or heather branch or a little Christmas decoration that does not float in the water.
If you have a glass salad bowl, you can fill it with water, add a few branches of holly and and add several floating candles: this is a perfect centerpiece for a natural Christmas.

5. Masking tape for personalized candles
If you have a roll of "masking tape" in a drawer, simply wrap some around the aluminum of your tealights and place them all over the house, on a small plate so that they do not burn anything. Easy as pie!
