Thanksgiving is a marathon: the parade, the relatives, three football games, a plate you can’t finish, and pie you eat anyway. One strain can’t cover all of that. Here are the best strains for Thanksgiving, one for every stage of the day, built from what’s on our menu right now, plus the deal that covers the whole long weekend.
Your Thanksgiving timeline

| When | The pick | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Morning (parade and cooking) | Lunch Break | Clear, upbeat lift |
| Family arrives | Bubblegum Runtz | Happy, relaxed and social |
| Football | Sweet & Sour Haze | Bright, electric high |
| The itis | Northern Lights | Warm, full-body calm |
| Pie | Super Mario | Tastes like candy and cherry pie |
| Leftovers, late night | Jungle Juice | Happy, mellow calm |
Morning: Lunch Break (Sativa, 33% THC)
Sweet citrus and tropical fruit with a clear, upbeat lift. The parade is on, the bird is in the oven and you still have a job to do. Keep it light. Get Lunch Break.
Family arrives: Bubblegum Runtz (Hybrid, 34% THC)
Pink bubblegum and fruity candy with a happy, relaxed high. For when your uncle asks what you do for work again. Keeps you smiling through the small talk. Get Bubblegum Runtz.
Football: Sweet & Sour Haze (Hybrid, 35% THC)
Sour citrus and gassy diesel over a bright, electric high. Thanksgiving has football from noon to night, and this one keeps you in the game instead of asleep on the couch by halftime. Get Sweet & Sour Haze.
The itis: Northern Lights (Hybrid, 31% THC)
Sweet earth, citrus and pine over a warm, full-body calm. You just ate two plates. Stop fighting it. Northern Lights is the lowest-THC pick on this list, which makes it the easy one to pass around after dinner. Get Northern Lights.
Pie: Super Mario (Hybrid, 35% THC)

Berry candy and cherry with a happy, balanced high. It tastes like the dessert table, so pair it with a slice of cherry pie. Get Super Mario.
Leftovers and late night: Jungle Juice (Indica, 34% THC)
Tropical fruit punch with a happy, mellow calm. The house is quiet, the dishes can wait and there’s a turkey sandwich with your name on it. It’s also one of DC’s 10 most-ordered strains of the year. Get Jungle Juice.
Want it heavier?
Mayhem (Hybrid, 38% THC) brings bold fuel, tart fruit and peppery pine. For experienced smokers only, and not the one to hand Grandma.

Thanksgiving ground rules
- Order early. Holiday weeks get busy, and same-day orders close at 8:00 PM ET.
- The menu moves fast. Strains sell out. If you want a specific one, order a day or two ahead.
- Start low. Big meals and strong flower are a lot at once. One or two hits, then wait.
- Nobody drives high. Sort out rides home before the first pass.
- 21+ only. Keep it locked away from kids at the gathering.
