Christmas is nearing and it’s time to get festive, and what better way to spread some jovial cheer than with some festive strains?
The holiday season has oft been associated with seeing our loved ones and those nearest and dearest to us, and if you’re part of a family that thinks it traditional to unite every aunt, uncle, cousin, and in-law together in one huge festive fam-jam, you’re probably going to need a little sticky-icky to help you get through the difficulty!
Conversely, if you’re far from home, find it difficult to meet with family, or simply don’t have many family or friends available to cozy up for the holidays, this month can be a profoundly lonely and difficult time. The blistering cold outdoors limits the things we can do outside and the cold, overcast skies aren’t much help either.
Fortunately, your favourite plant and online dispensary are here to spread some cheer!
We’ve collected 5 of what we think are some of our most festive strains for you to enjoy and savour over this holiday season to help connect with your loved ones, find that holiday spirit, and help you get through it.
Let’s get into it!
Festive Strains List
Jack Frost
Named after Father Winter himself, this frosty strain is #5 on our list of most festive strains for its citrusy, holiday flavour and warm, social effects.
A three-way combination of the already famous strains of Northern Lights, White Widow, and Jack Herer, this sativa-forward strain is has a sweet, woody smell with a slight citrus tang that makes it incredibly easy to enjoy.
If you’re stuck in a difficult social situation and find it hard to connect with your family and friends, Jack Frost is perfect at providing a bit of social lubricant to get those smiles curling and get that laughter erupting.
As a sativa, this festive strain is ideal for treating anxiety (social and otherwise), loss of appetite (to stuff down more of that Christmas feast), and stress. With an average THC content of 20 to 22%, Jack Frost is one strain that’ll help keep you cool and collected even in the midst of the most difficult of families!
Permafrost
Keep things icy with this cool and slick strain.
The lovechild between Trainwreck and White Widow, Permafrost is a sativa-dominant strain that’s appropriately named for its thick coating of frosty white trichomes.
A hybrid strain, Permafrost is perfect to enjoy in the morning while canvassing the fresh blanket of snow that fell overnight or in the evening to help keep you warm and cozy inside. Permafrost provides its users with a huge influx of creative and active energy, making this festive strain a good choice to help you clean the house or prepare that luxurious Christmas feast.
Permafrost is effective in alleviating stress, anxiety, and fatigue, and it can help treat nervousness and tension brought on by the winter blues or depression-related disorders such as Seasonal Affective Disorder. This festive strain has an average THC rating of 16-18% and will help you keep things frosty.
Cereal Milk
No holiday breakfast is complete without something sweet, and Cereal Milk is here to serve. This balanced hybrid is as nostalgic as the leftover milk from your favorite childhood cereals, with creamy, fruity notes that bring a smile to your face before you even light up. The aroma alone—sweet and slightly tangy—is enough to transport you back to cozy mornings by the fire.
Cereal Milk doesn’t just taste great; it delivers a high that’s both uplifting and calming. With THC levels ranging from 18-23%, this strain strikes the perfect balance for staying sociable at holiday gatherings while keeping your nerves in check. Whether you’re catching up with relatives or enjoying a peaceful moment of self-care, Cereal Milk is a festive essential.
Creme Brulee
If you’re looking for a dessert-like treat that’s as indulgent as your favorite holiday sweets, Crème Brûlée has you covered. This luxurious indica-dominant hybrid is a delightful blend of sugary, creamy vanilla flavors with a touch of nuttiness, reminiscent of the caramelized top of its namesake dessert.
Crème Brûlée’s effects are just as rich as its flavor profile. With THC levels hovering between 20-24%, this strain offers deep relaxation that melts away holiday stress. It’s ideal for wrapping presents, sipping hot cocoa, or simply enjoying the glow of the Christmas tree lights. Plus, its mellow vibe can help lull you into the perfect night of restorative sleep, leaving you refreshed for whatever festivities tomorrow holds.
Girl Scout Cookies
Girl Scout Cookies
This might be Girl Scout Cookies, but this strain is #1 on our list.
Much like the joy of opening a box of holiday cookies, this strain delivers happiness in every hit. Its sweet, earthy aroma with hints of mint and spice feels like a cozy hug on a chilly winter evening.
With an average THC content of 24-28%, Girl Scout Cookies is your go-to for unwinding after a hectic day of holiday shopping. It combines euphoric, uplifting effects with a soothing body high, making it perfect for sparking meaningful conversations with family or just kicking back with some classic holiday movies. It’s a strain that pairs well with laughter, nostalgia, and the occasional gingerbread cookie.
