‘Tis the season for holiday trees.

This year’s limited selection of festive cannabis products are in stores. The Christmassy offerings vary from advent calendars filled with pre-rolls to festive flavoured vape carts.

We’ve compiled some of the more interesting offerings this year that have a seasonal twist.

Advent calendars filled with pre-rolls

What’s more seasonal than an advent calendar?

Herbal Dispatch has one packed with 50-pre-roll surprises. Enjoy a new strain for 25 days from a nice selection of BC growers and brands, including Golden Spruce, High Quadz, Cake & Caviar, Remo Farms, Ross’ Gold, BC Bud Co, Magi Cannabis, Cheap and Cheerful, and Weathered Island. There’s 30 grams inside for about $330.

Color Cannabis has a tree-shaped calendar adorned with eight different pre-rolls sorted by filter hue. They include old-time favourites such as Pedro’s Sweet Sativa and Mango Haze, as well as others like Baked Grape Pie and Mint Cookie Cush. It’s about $70.

Northern Lights, Jack Frost, Sugarplum Fairy

If you’re looking for themed pre-rolls not in calendar format, The Station House Holiday Pre-roll Six-Pack Sampler has a selection of festive strains: Northern Lights, Jack Frost, Gingerbread Kush, Milk and Cookies, Sugarplum Fairy, and Christmas Tree Cake. It’s about $23.

Potluck’s Christmas cookie cannabis flower

For those who like to roll their own, Potluck has a couple of eighths inspired by holiday desserts, Sugar Cookies and Gingerbread Kush. Sugar Cookies is a Hybrid strain with a terpene profile of Limonene, Farnesene, and Caryophyllene. Gingerbread Kush is Indica-dominant and has a profile of Pinene, Humulene, and Ocimene.

London Fog or Cranberry Punch?

BZAM brand ~ness is leaning into eggnog, with two products flavoured London Fog: a three-pack of infused pre-rolls, and a one-gram, 510-thread vape cart. They’re said to be a sweet creamy vanilla, with a sprinkle of spice. Top terpenes in the vape are Caryophyllene, Humulene, and Limonene.

Lamplighter went with Cranberry Punch in its seasonal one-gram, 510-thread vape cart. It’s Indica-dominant with cranberry and pomegranate flavours.

Something that’s sweet

Edibles are great for the sweet-tooth. The Hazy Camper has a selection of holiday inspired chocolates, including Hazy Mint, Calming Cranberry, and Vivacious Orange. They also have Black Forest Chocolate, which has been out for a while (and is great).

Cannabis in the bath

Finally, while not necessarily seasonal themed, Stewart Farms has a three-pack of bath bombs. They are Double Dream (floral), Citrus Farmer (citrus), and Kaya’s Koffee (mocha). The bath bombs are hand-pressed with 100mg CBD and 100mg THC per fizzy sphere.
