Sherbet Queen: Kindle Christmas Dinner Munchies
How do you like to spend Christmas Day? If you’re among the many individuals who like to stuff their faces, nest on the couch, and watch Christmas classics late into the evening, then you just found your ultimate botanical companion. If you know other people who like to celebrate in a similar fashion, then you just found their perfect Christmas gift! Sherbet Queen packs enormous amounts of THC and myriad stoning terpenes to boot. This indica-dominant hybrid descends from parents Pink Panties and Sunset Sherbet and delivers a heavy and sleepy body high that melts the muscles. As the effects begin to kick in, you’ll feel a surge in appetite that will help you make the most of Christmas dinner.
This Christmas weed strain won’t only help you do some serious damage to your stash of festive chocolate, but it also comes bearing gifts of its own. Plants grown indoors produce up to 525g/m² after a flowering period of 8–10 weeks. Despite their impressive productivity, they’ll stay as small as 80cm if topped and trained. Outdoors, plants peak at 180cm and offer 450–500g/plant ready to harvest during October.

Biscotti: Complete Christmas Chores with Ease
Sure, Christmastime involves plenty of kicking back, relaxing, eating, and napping. But, on the flip side, it takes plenty of work to get all of the celebrations in order. You need to buy gifts, wrap presents, prepare and cook food, and keep your family and friends entertained! Things can get pretty overwhelming, which is where strains like Biscotti come in. This progeny of legendary parent cultivars Gelato 25 and Triangle Kush delivers an uplifting, creative, and cerebral high that keeps users motivated and honed in on task at hand. A hefty THC content of 25% makes using her for these purposes somewhat of a balancing act. However, once you’ve found your sweet spot, you’ll find yourself partaking in this strain throughout the festive period to keep yourself hacking away at that ever-growing to-do list.
Biscotti not only feels good, but she puts on a stellar display in the grow room and garden. Her mature buds shimmer with resin and feature dark hues of green, purple, and orange. The more weed-obsessed among us might even find themselves hanging a couple of these ornate buds on their Christmas tree! Indoors and under strong lights, Biscotti grows to 80–120cm and produces up to 500g/m² after a flowering period of 8–10 weeks. Outdoor plants peak at 180cm and provide a return of 550–600g/plant ready to harvest during October.

Mimosa: Conquer Your Christmas Shopping
Mimosa might sound like a strain designed for summer days on the beach, but she also ranks as one of the best Christmas strains. Why? Because her creative and laughter-inducing high goes down great during just about any festive celebration. This sativa-dominant progeny of Clementine and Purple Punch will put you in a social and talkative mood. You’ll want nothing more than to pull a couple of crackers, dig into a large meal, and chat the day away with your friends and relatives. Her THC content of 22% will get you elevated almost immediately. Dose wisely, and you could even get away with pairing this strain with a beer or glass of wine without tipping yourself over the edge. As a bonus, you’ll enjoy deep earthy and sour flavors with every hit.
Mimosa serves up a stash that will last you well into the new year. Indoor plants maintain a super-stealthy height of 60–80cm and still manage to churn out up to 350–400g/m² after a flowering time of 9–10 weeks. Outdoor plants do best in warm climates with a long growing season, where they peak at 100cm and produce up to 550g/plant ready to harvest and dry during the middle of October.

Sundae Driver: Wake and Bake on Christmas Morning
We can’t discuss the best Christmas weed strains without mentioning Sundae Driver. This perfectly balanced strain, with 50% sativa genetics and 50% indica, derives from a cross between Fruity Pebbles OG and Grape Pie. Much like Biscotti, she produces some seriously stunning flowers decorated with shades of deep purple. Above all else, most cannabis users are drawn to this variety because of her complex terpene profile. This unique mix of aromatic chemicals gives rise to flavors of blueberry, earthiness, fruit, and vanilla. On top of this, her euphoric and motivating high will get you up and at ‘em on Christmas morning. Take a few tokes and crack on with the small tasks you still need to complete before the true festivities get underway.
If you don’t have time to grow a stash of Sundae Driver before Christmas, these seeds will make the perfect gift for any weed-loving friends. Indoor plants maintain an easily manageable height of 90–140cm and produce a rewarding 400–450g/m² after 9–11 weeks of flowering. If you prefer to cultivate outdoors, you’ll receive up to 500g/plant from specimens as tall as 170cm. Prepare to make the chop in October.
