The light from the matches signify the warmth of love which the little girl was longing for.

It is through the light of the matches that the little girl sees visions like a warm iron stove , a sumptuous feast , a great Christmas tree etc. These all visions prove that the girl was longing for warmth (of love ), food and celebration.
