Plant People and Raaka dreamed up two festive little bars to bring calm, comfort, and joy this season. Infused with adaptogens and warming spices, these limited-edition mini bars invite mindful indulgence. Press them atop cookies for the perfect treat on a cozy night in or bring them to the gathering and share with friends this holiday season.
