Aspects of the present invention disclose a candleholder that may be manipulated by a user to advance a candle within a candleholder to facilitate optimal burning. Embodiments describe a candleholder having a platform to move a candle within a holder. Embodiments disclose a prepackaged semi-soft candle, which is readily movable against a candleholder's inner surface. Embodiments of the present invention disclose a handle permitting a user to manipulate platform height, allowing a candle to be raised or lowered within a candleholder. Embodiments disclose a disc, sized larger than the platform, preferably formed of a soft rubber sponge which stabilizes the candle and prevents candle wax from moving below the platform's surface. An alternative embodiment omits the disc, the platform being sealed by a seal around the platform's perimeter.
