Casino Kush – Cannabiotix
Casino Kush is definitely as euphoria-inducing as the name implies. This Cannabiotix-exclusive was created through the crossing of White Walker OG with Blue Flame.

Zookies – Original Intelligence
For something a bit different, try Zookies by Original Intelligence. This potent, balanced hybrid cross of Animal Cookies and Gorilla Glue #4 bathes you in a wave of euphoria paired with a comfortably numbing, though not sedating, body high.

If you’re looking for a late holiday present, this hard-to-find strain makes for the perfect gift.
Royal Kush – GOOD
GOOD’s Royal Kush is an indica-dominant hybrid created through the pairing of Afghani #1 and Skunk #1 strains.

This high slowly becomes more and more and relaxing, eventually leaving you drowsy and sinking down into the couch. This strain has a flavor and aroma of sweet earthy skunk with a spicy herbal aftertaste that lingers on the tongue.
Wedding Cake – LA Cannabis Co
Given the romantic nature of the holiday season, no list of holiday strains would be complete without some Wedding Cake. This crossing of _____ resulted in a creamy and tangy indica-dominant hybrid with citrus and earthy flavors that hold a slight sweetness. The aroma is just as sweet and tangy, with strong citrus notes. The high from this starts right away with a cerebral rush of euphoria, giddiness, and increased awareness. Eventually, this head high gives way to a heavy and relaxing body high. The euphoria continues, but you are left feeling completely calm and at ease.
Lemon OZ Kush – WonderBrett

Moondrops – Anderson Valley Reserve
The name of this tasty strain comes from the sweet grape flavor of its parents – Purple Urkle and Do-Si-Dos. This indica-dominant hybrid offers a celestial, euphoric high that relaxes both your mind and body, ultimately ending in couchlock or sleep. Get something truly out of this world this season, and try some Moondrops.
