Let’s be real. The holidays can be a lot. Between the plans, the people, and the pressure to feel festive 24/7, sometimes you just want a moment.

That’s why we made this guide. Not the Pinterest-perfect version, the real one. For the overthinkers, the introverts, the snackers, and the well-intentioned functional stoners just trying to enjoy the season without burning out. 

Luckily, your buds at TreeHaus have just the guide to help you through this exact scenario.

Phase 1: The Holiday Prep

Before the feast comes the frenzy, so take a moment to set your pace early. Ease into the day with Good Green OMG Flower (Hybrid, 31% THC), a focused strain that keeps you calm and collected.

For that midday momentum, switch to Twenty Twenty Hot Pants Flower (Hybrid, 33% THC) to keep you balanced, upbeat, and stay in the flow.

You’ll be crossing off lists before the oven’s even preheated.

Phase 2: Family, Friends, and Social Endurance

The main event. Before you step into that social minefield, consider these your armor.

Offering a quick, smooth hit, turn to the In House Blue Dream Vape (Sativa, 82%+ THC) to keep things light and easy. For an extra lift, the Rythm Afternoon Delight #4 Flower (Hybrid, 33% THC) brings feel-good energy that keeps you upbeat and engaged right through until dinner.  And for those moments when you’d rather not debate politics, quietly slip away for Betty's Eddies Watermelon Edibles (50mg/ 100mg) for an uplifting, energetic relief with this THCV and caffeine infused gummy.

Phase 3: The Feast 

If you’re going to show up hungry, do it right. Pre-game with DNA Genetics Shark’s breath Flower (Indica, 16% THC). Stimulating, euphoric, and perfect for enhancing both appetite and conversation.

For dessert duty, Betty’s Eddies Strawberry Lemonade Gummies (50mg/ 100mg) bring just enough sweetness to keep you smiling through the fourth retelling of that one story.

 

Phase 4: The Recovery 

When the guests are gone and you’ve migrated to the couch, it’s time to reset.

For mental unwinding, Botanist Mint Sherbert Pre-Rolls (Hybrid, 43% THC) helps you take a deep breath and drown out the noise without being sedative.

If you’re winding down for the night, Grön Chocolate Mini Bar (100mg) is the stress relief we wish we discovered sooner. Made with rosin, its blissful and relaxing effects give you the best rest in chocolate form. No sleep deprivation and no 3am scrolling spiral.

And if the post-dinner overthinking starts kicking in? Try High Supply Super Shake (Indica, 56% THC). The Bio Jesus indica strain, renowned for its potent relaxing and sedative effects, will give you a relaxing body calm and a mental quiet that will help you unwind for sleep.

Final Thought: Survive First, Romanticize Later

The holidays aren’t about perfection. They’re about knowing when to take five minutes for yourself (and also maybe a gummy).

So this season, don’t just survive. Enjoy it on your own terms. And if those terms involve a little Afternoon Delight and Blue Dream, well, we fully support that.
