Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays — it’s the most wonderful time of the year! As snowflakes drift onto the ground and hot cocoa steams into the air, it’s the perfect time to think about adding a little green to your holiday parties.
Whether you decide to throw a holiday party with themed outfits, cannabis games or want to celebrate with a lil’ eggnog THC, we’ve got you. Read on for our top 10 ideas to elevate your holiday parties with a Cannabis Christmas.
Cannabis Christmas lights
To set the stage, decorate your space with twinkling lights in the shape of cannabis leaves! Twinkling lights are the perfect way to set a relaxed, festive vibe.
Themed decor
What about cannabis napkins, a weed centerpiece or marijuana shot glasses? Keep the party theme strong with highlighting festive decor as you serve snacks and drinks.
Themed outfits
Encourage your guests to show up in outfits befitting a marijuana theme. Whether they throw on something green, wear a sweater emblazoned with a cannabis leaf or simply “dress the way weed makes them feel,” themed outfits are sure to be festive conversation starters.
Cannabis drinks
Mix up a cannabis eggnog by adding a cannabis tincture to eggnog. Add a tincture to hot cocoa. Try a cranberry gin, a gingerbread mocktail, or a cannabutter beer with a lil’ THC. With the accessibility of tinctures at your favorite dispensary, jazzing up any of your holiday drinks with THC just got a whole lot easier.
Cannabis games.
Many classic party games can be elevated with a cannabis twist. Beer pong can be replaced with taking a hit each time you land your ball in a cup. Play musical chairs by sharing a joint while music plays, and then when the music stops and the scrabbling for chairs is done, the last person standing has to take another hit. Put together a trivia game about weed. Play “never have I ever,” and anyone who has done the thing takes a hit. Your possibilities are limited only by your imagination!

Gift exchange.
Do a white elephant style gift exchange with your friends! To keep things fun, set a budget and a tone— e.g., “$20 on a wacky gift.”
Holiday themes ONLY
To keep things novel, hit up your fav local dispensaries for specialty holiday strains to feature at your holiday party. Budtenders can recommend their most popular holiday items, and you and your guests can have fun sampling
Put together a photo booth
With a few funky props, you can craft a fun space to take themed photographs. Maybe you string up a felt banner, have a bunch of cannabis glasses, or even get a marijuana costume.
Cannabis ornaments
Not much is easier than grabbing some paintable ornaments and sharpies/paint/paint pens, printing out a few cannabis leaf prints as stencils, and enjoying weed-themed crafting together. As a bonus — you can give your finished craft project to a friend, or swap them with your party attendees for a fun favor to take home!
Cannabis leaf bookmarks
This requires a bit of prep before the party, as you’ll need to get some leaves from your local supplier, dry, and flatten them. (This can be as easy as pressing them between a heavy book.) When it’s party time, you can craft your bookmarks, mostly with supplies you have at home — for example, you can use a hot glue gun, or an iron or just Mod Podge.
