Metro Cannabis Dispensary - Sacramento, CA

The holidays are officially here, and whether you’re hosting festive gatherings or settling in for cozy nights, cannabis-infused drinks and gummies are shining as two of the season’s most popular treats. At Metro Cannabis Dispensary, we see shoppers reach for both formats again and again - and for good reason. They’re fun, flavorful, shareable, and perfect for gifting or breaking out at your next hangout.

So this season, the real question isn’t if you’ll enjoy cannabis drinks or gummies - it’s which one fits your vibe. Let’s take a friendly, side-by-side look at how these holiday favorites stack up so you can sip, snack, or maybe do a little of both.

‍

Cannabis Drinks: Festive, Refreshing, & Social

Cannabis drinks add a playful twist to holiday sips. Imagine sparkling beverages, infused teas, or herbal tonics that pair perfectly with appetizers, dinners, or dessert  without the alcohol content. They’re increasingly popular for gatherings where people want to socialize and enjoy elevated vibes in a mellow, controlled way.

What makes cannabis drinks stand out:

• Easy to enjoy - just pop the top and sip

• Great for social settings - feels celebratory without alcohol

• Flavor first - from citrusy and fruity to herbal and refreshing

Cannabis drinks tend to deliver effects a bit differently than edibles like gummies. Because you sip them as you would a beverage, onset can vary, but it is often gentle and gradual, with effects that unfold in a way that feels relaxed and easy.

Best for: Holiday party hosts, outdoor fireside hangs, or anyone who loves a flavorful sip that pairs with good company.

‍

Gummies: Flavorful, Familiar, & Fun

Gummies continue to be one of the most popular cannabis formats, and for good reason. They’re portable, tasty, and feel like a treat, not a chore. From nostalgic fruity flavors to holiday-inspired blends, gummies make great gifts and great stocking stuffers.

Why gummies are a go-to:

• Flavor variety: sweet, sour, tropical, you name it

• Easy dosing: often broken into neat, single-serving pieces

• Perfect for gifting: looks like a snack, feels like a gesture

• Familiar format: approachable even for cannabis-curious friends

Unlike drinks, gummies usually take longer to kick in, often around 45 minutes to a couple of hours. That slower onset means you’re in for a longer, steadier experience, which many fans enjoy during laid-back evenings.

Pro tip: The big rule with gummies (and all edibles) is start low, go slow  especially if you’re newer to edibles or trying a new product.

Best for: Cozy nights in, gift bags, stocking stuffers, or anyone who loves snacking with a side of buzz.

THC Drinks VS. Gummies - So Which One Is Better?

Truthfully, there’s no single winner. It depends on your mood, your plans, and how you want your holiday experience to feel. Some folks prefer to sip with friends at holiday gatherings, while others love to snack on gummies by the fire. They’re sweet, familiar, and perfect for slow evenings, gift bags, or winding down at home. Drinks tend to feel lighter and more interactive, while gummies are all about snacking and settling in. Both are portable, both are fun, and honestly, both earn their place in a holiday stash; it just depends on whether you’re in a sipping mood or ready to snack.

‍

Holiday Pairing Ideas (Because Why Not?)

Here are a few fun ways to enjoy drinks and gummies together if you’re hosting or gifting:

• Mini gift packs: Pair a cannabis drink with a small gummy pack for variety.

• Party stations: Set up a “Sip & Snack” table with assorted drinks and gummies.

• Stocking stuffers: Toss a couple of gummy packs and a drink in a stocking for a joyful surprise.

These combos are great conversation starters and help guests explore different cannabis experiences without overcommitting to one format.
