Indulge in your naughty side with these delicious and potent Christmas cannabis edibles. From fragrant gingerbread to rich tiramisu, below you'll find a hand-picked selection of the best festive recipes from our blog. Besides tasting great, they'll pack the perfect punch to ensure you have a truly jolly festive season.

Tips for Cooking With Cannabis

Before you fling on your apron and roll up your sleeves, recall that there are some key considerations to cooking with cannabis. To ensure your Christmas edibles pack an appropriately festive punch, remember the following.

  • Always Decarb Your Weed

Decarboxylation is the key to cooking potent edibles. Whether you're making gingerbread for Christmas dinner or brownies for a party, decarbing is central to activating the cannabinoids in your weed.

And best of all, it is super easy to do—just grind your bud to a medium consistency, spread it out on a baking tray lined with baking paper, and bake at around 110°C for 30–40 minutes. Remember to stir your weed once or twice to ensure it decarbs evenly. You'll know it's ready when your house smells like a dispensary and your weed looks toasted but not burnt.

  • Don't Be Scared of a Little Fat

Cannabinoids like THC are fat-soluble and hydrophobic. Luckily, the recipes we've included below are all decadent and rich, meaning they lend themselves perfectly to cannabis infusion.

But don't just dump a whole lot of weed into your Christmas cookies—instead, make a batch of cannabutter or canna-oil first, and use that in your recipes. Not only will this ensure you end up with potent Xmas treats, but you'll also avoid ending up with a mouthful of gritty weed.


Step-by-step guide for making cannabis-infused olive oil: preheat oven to 110°F and grind weed, decarboxylate for 30-40 minutes, simmer olive oil for 2-3 hours, and strain the mixture.
  • Know Your Dose

Because of their delayed onset and high concentration of cannabinoids, edibles can pack an intense punch that, if you're not ready for it, can quickly turn your favorite vacation into one hellish nightmare. And since you now know how to properly decarb and infuse your edibles, knowing how to dose them is super important.

As far as we're concerned, there's no golden rule for dosing cannabis edibles—as long as you're having a positive experience. Veteran cannabis users might enjoy the heavy-handed effects of ingesting 50 mg of THC in a single sitting, whereas people with a lower tolerance might prefer a 2.5 mg microdose.

Whatever your sweet spot, use a tool like our edibles calculator to track how many cannabinoids are going into your edibles and make informed decisions about your dosing.

  • Embrace the Festive Spirit!

All seriousness aside, remember to have some fun! Christmas only comes around once a year, so make the most of this special vacation and decorate your edibles accordingly. In our experience, the old saying "you eat with your eyes" rings true, so the merrier you make your Xmas edibles, the merrier your celebration!

SECTION 5 – COOKIES

Cookies are small information files that notify your computer of previous interactions with our website. These cookies are stored on your hard drive, not on our website. Essentially, when you use our website, your computer displays its cookies to us, informing our site that you have visited before. This allows our website to function more quickly and remember aspects related to your previous visits (such as your username), making your experience more convenient. At Royal Queen Seeds, we use two types of cookies: functional and analytical.

Analytical cookies are used for research and market analysis. The data collected with these analytical cookies is anonymous, making it unusable for third parties. The use of these cookies does not require prior authorization.

SECTION 5 – THIRD-PARTY SERVICES

Third-party services are required to conduct transactions and provide our services. In general, the third-party providers we use will only collect, use and disclose your information to the extent necessary to enable them to perform the services they provide to us.

However, certain third-party service providers, such as payment gateways and other payment transaction processors, have their own privacy policies regarding the information we must provide to them for your transactions.

We encourage you to read the privacy policies of these providers so that you can understand how these providers will handle your personal information.

In particular, certain suppliers may be located or have facilities located in a different jurisdiction than yours or ours. Therefore, if you choose to proceed with a transaction involving the services of a third party, your information may be subject to the laws of the jurisdiction in which that service provider or its facilities are located.

Once you leave our website or are redirected to a third-party website or application, you are no longer governed by this Privacy Policy or the Terms of Service of our website.

Web analytics service (anonymous data)

On this website we have integrated an element of a web analytics service (with anonymisation functionality). Web analytics can be defined as the gathering, processing and analysis of data about the behaviour of visitors to websites. An analytics service collects, among other things, data about which website a person came from (the so-called referrer), which sub-pages they visited or how often and for how long they visited a sub-page. Web analytics is mainly used for website optimisation and for a cost–benefit analysis of internet advertising.

Courier service

To complete deliveries we use a courier service. This courier service carries out the delivery between our company and the consumer's home. To complete these logistics, the company requires access to the consumer's name and address information.

Mailing service

Royal Queen Seeds uses a third-party mail service provider to send its newsletter. This provider has access to limited account information related to opt-in consent (e.g. email address).

Marketing services

Royal Queen Seeds has the support of a company that specialises in marketing and communication activities. Their access to personal information is very limited and mostly anonymous.

Payment services

At Royal Queen Seeds we use external payment services to handle our transactions (e.g. credit card payments).

SECTION 6 – SECURITY

To protect your personal information, we take reasonable precautions and follow industry standard best practices to ensure that it is not inappropriately lost, misused, accessed, disclosed, altered or destroyed.

If you provide us with your credit card information, the information is encrypted using secure socket layer technology (SSL) and stored using AES-256 encryption. Although no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, we follow all PCI-DSS requirements and implement additional industry standards that are commonly accepted. Information related to the account is protected with a hashing method. This method transforms the information into a generated hash. As a result, confidential information is protected and invisible, even to us. In addition, our databases are exceptionally protected against unauthorised access. For example, access to the database is only possible and permitted via approved IP addresses (e.g. from Royal Queen Seeds headquarters). Other attempts and addresses are rejected at all times.

Furthermore, data is anonymised as much as possible, so it cannot be directly linked to a specific consumer. With this data, however, we may be able to carry out market research and analysis. In addition, the third parties concerned (e.g. mailing service) are examined prior to our collaboration, comply with the GDPR from the EU and receive a processing agreement. Within Royal Queen Seeds, employees are assigned different access permissions. Specific permission provides access only to information that is strictly required to perform a task. Digital security measures are subject to change and must meet high requirements to ensure the safety of online customers. That is why, at Royal Queen Seeds, we appoint a security officer. Regular verification and improvement of security measures (where necessary) are part of the role.

SECTION 7 – CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY

We reserve the right to modify this Privacy Policy at any time, so please check back regularly. Changes and clarifications will be effective immediately upon being published on the Website. If we make substantial changes to this policy, we will notify you here that it has been updated so you will know what information we collect, how we use it and under what circumstances, if any, we use and/or disclose it.

SECTION 8 – YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO:
