Thanksgiving dinner is about more than turkey and gravy—it’s about flavor, creativity, and connection. For those looking to add a little green magic to their holiday table, cannabis-infused side dishes are a flavorful and fun way to enhance both the meal and the mood. From creamy potatoes to baked delights, here are ten standout sides that blend culinary craft with cannabis flair.

1. Cannabutter Mashed Potatoes

The holiday staple gets a mellow twist with rich, velvety cannabutter. Yukon gold potatoes whipped with cannabutter, garlic, and cream offer a silky texture with an earthy undertone that gently enhances relaxation after a long day of cooking (or family chatter).

2. Infused Sweet Potato Casserole

Sweet potatoes caramelized in brown sugar and infused coconut oil create a decadent blend of comfort and calm. Topped with toasted pecans or a light marshmallow crust, this dish hits the perfect balance of nostalgia and novelty.

3. Elevated Green Bean Casserole

This classic side gets a gourmet reboot when made with fresh green beans, homemade mushroom sauce, and a drizzle of THC-infused olive oil. It’s a subtle way to infuse the meal while keeping the flavor profile true to tradition.

4. Cannabis-Butter Cornbread

Warm, crumbly, and slightly sweet, infused cornbread pairs perfectly with savory dishes. Using a blend of cannabutter and honey gives it a soft texture and a hint of herbal aroma that invites guests to take just one more bite.

5. Infused Cranberry Sauce

Fresh cranberries simmered with orange zest, cinnamon, and a splash of cannabis tincture create a tangy-sweet sauce that’s vibrant and bright. It’s the ideal complement to turkey—or a spoonful of mashed potatoes.

6. Garlic-Infused Roasted Brussels Sprouts

Crispy on the outside and tender inside, Brussels sprouts roasted in cannabis-infused olive oil and garlic deliver a smoky, nutty flavor. A sprinkle of Parmesan or balsamic glaze seals the deal.

7. Cannabutter Mac and Cheese

This comfort food powerhouse combines sharp cheddar, Gruyère, and a touch of cannabutter for richness. The infusion heightens the cozy, melt-in-your-mouth satisfaction without overpowering the cheese-forward flavor.

8. Infused Mushroom Gravy

A silky mushroom gravy infused with cannabis oil turns mashed potatoes or turkey into a next-level experience. Earthy, aromatic, and soothing, it ties the meal together beautifully.

9. Herb-Infused Stuffing

Made with sourdough bread, sage, thyme, and cannabutter, this stuffing brings aroma and depth to the Thanksgiving plate. Each forkful blends classic comfort with a mellow finish.

10.Cannabis Pumpkin Pie Bites

End the meal with mini pumpkin pies made with infused cream or butter. Each bite delivers warmth, spice, and a relaxed sweetness perfect for winding down after dinner.

Culinary Note

Dosing matters. Start low—especially when cooking for guests—and label infused dishes clearly. The goal of a cannabis Thanksgiving isn’t to get everyone too high, but to elevate the flavors, fun, and feeling of gratitude around the table.
