As the year winds down and the holiday season picks up, the cannabis industry is not slowing down. This season is particularly exciting as we see a blend of innovation and tradition come together, with companies launching products that are not only festive but also reflective of the shifting cultural attitudes towards cannabis. From sleek accessories designed for discretion to flavorful treats that pay homage to classic seasonal delights, the cannabis market is booming with new offerings.
One notable collaboration is between Drew Martin, a bicoastal cannabis brand, and Sackville & Co, the NYC-based accessory moguls. They have created a stylish gold keychain that doubles as a smell-proof joint holder. This accessory, which includes a single cannabis pre-roll with a pine-forward Sativa cultivar RS-11, is a nod to the growing trend of elegant cannabis lifestyle products. Released as a limited edition, this keychain is available for $40, demonstrating the luxury angle that cannabis products are increasingly adopting.
Meanwhile, in Tennessee, a pioneering product range by Cali Sober is redefining the mocktail scene. Their hemp-derived THC-infused canned drinks offer a buzz without the booze, featuring flavors like Berry Ginger Fizz and Ranch Water – each can containing 5 mg of THC. It’s an imaginative take on sober curiosity trends and is set to capture the interest of those looking to enjoy the social aspects of drinking without alcohol’s downsides.
In Missouri, CODES has launched Blueberry Gooey Cake flavor Gummies, a nod to St. Louis’s famous gooey butter cake. With a balanced CBD to THC ratio, these gummies provide a smoke-free and odorless way to enjoy the effects of cannabis, marrying local culinary heritage with the benefits of cannabis consumption.
Diving into the wellness sector, Respect Wellness has introduced a premium facial balm called ‘Smooth,’ catering to those experiencing hormonal changes and aging. This product, combining full-spectrum CBD with select botanicals, illustrates how cannabis-based products aim to offer solutions beyond recreational use, focusing on overall wellbeing.
For those with a sweet tooth, Insa Cannabis has rolled out a holiday collection in Massachusetts that includes Peppermint Candy Cane Chocolate Bar and new Champagne Drops. These innovations are a testament to how cannabis companies are now weaving traditional holiday flavors into their product lines.
In Colorado, Native Roots dispensary in collaboration with Dialed In Gummies presents a tropical twist on seasonal treats with Santa’s Stash and Comet’s Chronic. Limited-edition flavors like guava and dragon fruit make these products stand out and are available across the state, likely to attract those in search of unique cannabis experiences.
The creativity and diversity of these products are indicative of a larger trend: cannabis is being embraced in manifold ways, reaching into realms of wellness, culinary arts, and everyday accessories. With a focus on responsible consumption and a nod to local culture, these offerings demonstrate the industry’s potential to cater to a wide audience.
Moreover, the holiday season is an ideal time to reflect on the progress the cannabis industry has made, both in terms of product innovation and in breaking down societal barriers. As we witness this surge in new products, it is clear that the industry is keen to establish a new holiday tradition that includes cannabis.
