Winter Rotation Check-In: Flower, Edibles & More that Shoppers Are Loving

February 20, 2026
By Hippos Cannabis Team

Winter has officially settled in, bringing slower plans, warmer layers, and cannabis choices that feel a little more intentional. And while the shelves at Hippos Cannabis are always shifting: new drops arriving, fresh batches rotating through, and plenty of options to explore, certain strains, formats, and familiar names tend to spark those knowing budtender nods when something has been especially well received lately.

These picks aren’t meant to define the menu. They’re simply a snapshot of the moment. A look at what shoppers are gravitating toward today, knowing full well that curiosity keeps things moving and there’s always something new waiting to be discovered. Here’s a closer look at some of the most liked choices at the moment.

The Flower Everyone Keeps Asking For

Cold weather has a way of steering people toward familiar, comforting strains, and indica leaning flower has been dominating the conversation.

Two names that consistently come up are Northern Lights and Granddaddy Purple. When either shows up as deli flower at Hippos, it rarely sits for long.

Northern Lights is one of those classic strains that just works for winter. Earthy, smooth, and understated, it fits perfectly with quiet evenings and low-key plans. Granddaddy Purple leans more into that rich, grape-forward aroma and deep color that feels almost tailor-made for February nights.

A lot of regulars head straight to the Flower menu to see which of these strains are available by the gram. When they’re in stock, they’re usually among the first jars to empty.

Infused Pre-Rolls That Keep Selling Out

Another category clearly trending right now: infused pre-rolls. Infused pre-rolls stand out because they combine flower with concentrate, creating richer aroma and more layered flavor than standard rolls. 

At Hippos Cannabis, Bad Pony options continue to draw steady attention, especially picks like the Golden Apple x Rainbow Rozay Infused Pre-Roll. This 0.5g roll hits that sweet spot. It is compact, flavorful, and easy to enjoy without committing to a full session. With its bright, fruity character and sativa-leaning energy, shoppers often gravitate toward it when they’re looking for something uplifting, creative, and ready to match a social or daytime-adjacent vibe.

Gummies Everyone’s Restocking for Winter

Edibles are always a fun option that is good for many occasions. One edible that keeps popping up is Hermit’s Delight gummies, especially fruit-forward options like Watermelon. These are popular with cannabis enthusiasts who want something tasty, familiar, and easy to pace through a long evening at home.

The Edibles menu is often where people linger longest, comparing flavors and restocking favorites they already trust.

Vapes Cartridges for Low-Effort Cozy Nights

Vapes tend to click with shoppers who want something discreet, dependable, and easy to enjoy at home or in other private settings. It’s a category that keeps evolving: new hardware, new formulations, so a quick scroll through the vape carts section usually shows what people are curious about right now. That movement reflects variety and exploration more than any fixed “trend,” and it’s part of what keeps browsing interesting.

Curio Wellness - Lemon Haze Cart is one of those familiar picks that fits easily into the mix. It’s approachable, smooth on the draw, and simple to fold into relaxed routines without much setup or fuss. Built around a sativa-leaning profile inspired by the classic pairing of Lemon Skunk and Silver Haze, this option brings bright citrus character that many shoppers enjoy when they’re browsing for something lively and flavorful to keep on hand. 

Why These Products are Favorites 

There’s a clear pattern behind what’s hot right now at Hippos:

  1. Familiar strains people already trust
  2. Formats that fit versatility indoors/outdoors
  3. Flavor-forward options that feel comforting
  4. Products that don’t require much planning

Shopping Smarter During Cozy Season

Winter shopping tends to be less about going totally off-script and more about leaning into what works. When shoppers find something that fits their routine, they stick with it, and usually end up telling friends about it too. Browsing online at Hippos Cannabis is a great way to get a feel for what’s on the shelves, but chatting with a Hippos budtender can add that extra layer of insight, inspiration, and tailored suggestions.

If you’ve been debating what to try next, taking cues from what others are enjoying can be a comfortable place to start. Cozy season doesn’t last forever, and neither do the picks people are buzzing about at any given moment. Sometimes the best move is simply choosing what feels right for the occasion, whether it’s based on a recommendation, a spark of curiosity, or just matching the mood of the day.
