From advent-inspired cannabis calendar to THC hot chocolate, here are nine suggestions from The GrowthOp.

This holiday season, amid an ongoing pandemic and with supply shortages hitting everything from televisions to turkeys, there’s probably never been a better time to give the gift of cannabis. 

Three years into legalization, there’s never been a better selection of unique, regulated products in Canada. Here are nine gift-giving suggestions from The GrowthOp.

THC Hash Hot Chocolate by Malahat Mountain Cannabis Co.

Few things signal the holidays more than hot chocolate. This year, relax with a decadent and creamy hot chocolate mix infused with 10 milligrams of THC from B.C.-based Malahat Mountain Cannabis Co. 

Festive cookies from Slowride Bakery

In August, licensed producer Indiva launched Slow Ride Cookies, the company’s first products in the baked goods category. Produced in Ottawa by Slow Ride Bakery, a micro-processor founded and operated by husband and wife Vik and Karen Dhawan, each small batch is handmade and each cookie is infused with 10 mg of THC.

Available in five flavours, including holiday classics like Festive Sprinkle Sugar Cookies, Merry Cherry Cookies and Spicy Ginger, each cookie sells for $6.95 via the OCS . If you’re already stuffed from Christmas dinner, the cookies can be frozen for up to three months and enjoyed later.

A wake and bake session has never been easier. Now you can drink and smoke from the same mug! The smoke filters up the hollow handle to a mouthpiece at the top. Made from ceramic and microwave and dishwasher safe, the mug is also available in a snowman design .

The mugs retail for $29.95 on the OCS , taxes in.

White Chocolate Eggnog by Back Forty

Back Forty has some of the most delicious and affordable edibles on the market and the latest offering from the Auxly Cannabis Group-owned brand does not disappoint.

Holiday Bath Fizz Collection by Noon & Night

This limited edition release contains a set of three CBD-infused bath bombs in mint, lavender, and forest-scented Shinrin Yoku. The set contains a total of 300 mg of CBD and sells for $42.95 in Ontario.

The hypoallergenic bath bombs are made with natural ingredients and essential oils and are free of colourants.

12 Js for the Holidays by AHLOT x Thinker

From the company that launched legacy Grizzler pre-rolls in Alberta for $1 , A Higher Level of Thought (AHLOT) has now created Canada’s first legal, advent-inspired cannabis calendar.

The ‘Off’ pre-rolls are Dos Z Dos, a classic strain with a lineage of Do Si Dos x Zen and a sweet, floral and earthy flavour. The flower has been hang dried, hand-trimmed and hand packed to meet the criteria for the OCS Craft Designation.

Wrapped and Redee pre-rolls by Redecan

Redecan, the top-selling pre-roll brand at OCS.ca , has launched limited-edition holiday pre-rolls. The 0.4-gram Glueberry OG pre-rolls feature candy-cane-inspired filters and are available in three different coloured boxes, only while quantities last.

A limited-edition holiday offering, Edison Bytes Gingerbread Truffles mix delicate spice with milk chocolate and come in a box of two. Each truffle contains 5 mg of THC and a pack of two retails for $6.95 from the OCS.

Owned by Moncton-based Organigram Holdings Inc., the brand has also launched a second limited-edition holiday release, Trailblazer Kushmas Stix. The 0.5-gram pre-rolls are a blend of Mendocino Purple Kush, Blueberry Kush, and Critical Kush, designed to function as an easy-to-give stocking stuffer for adults.

San Rafael ’71 candles by Shy Wolf

Small-batch candle company, Shy Wolf, has partnered with Aurora-owned cannabis brand San Rafael ’71 on a line of cannabis-inspired candles. The custom candles are infused with notes of citrus, peach and musk, inspired by the terpenes in Lemon Rocket, Stonefruit Sunset and Driftwood Diesel cultivars.

The candles are hand-poured and made from sustainably-grown soy wax with premium phthalate-free fragrance oils. Available throughout December, San Raf will donate $9.50 from the sale of every order to support the work of Cannabis Amnesty, an organization working on pardons and record expungement for those charged with cannabis possession offences.
