That was an interesting fact.
I always used the purple and pink (rose) during Advent and then from Christmas through Epiphany I put in white candles.
Other people leave the purple and pin (rose) and then put a white Christmastide Candle (I sometimes do it with a large pillar candle.) in the center of the Advent wreath.
There are probably many ways to do it. The important thing is the preparation mindset and the daily prayers.

Week 1: First Sunday of Advent Prayer for the Advent Wreath Lord, our God, we praise You for Your Son, Jesus Christ, for He is Emmanuel, the Hope of all people.
Waiting We light a candle today, a small dim light against a world that often seems forbidding and dark. But we light it because we are a people of hope, a people whose faith is marked by an expectation that we should always be ready for the coming of the Master. The joy and anticipation of this season is captured beautifully in the antiphons of hope from the monastic liturgies: See! The ruler of the earth shall come, the Lord who will take from us the heavy burden of our exile |
