    • Mix the melted white chocolate into the popcorn, stirring to get all the popcorn coated
    • Place popcorn on a baking sheet then drizzle with red and green melted candy melts
    • Sprinkle with your favorite holiday candies and sprinkles
    • Allow the popcorn and melted chocolate to set up and then enjoy!

    How to remove kernels from popcorn?

    Place the popped corn on a cooling rack and let the kernels fall through. It's that easy!

    We'll email this post to you, so you can come back to it later!

    Don't worry, I promise not to spam you!

    Where to get peppermint bark?

    Adding peppermint bark to this Christmas Popcorn is so delicious. When Iโ€™ve made a batch of my own homemade peppermint bark, I will chop a bit of it and add it to the popcorn; other times, I will just grab some already made from the holiday candy aisle at my local grocery store!

    In addition to being a delicious dessert, you can bag this popcorn up and give it away as an easy Christmas gift! 

    I have to say watching Christmas movies is definitely one of my favorite ways to get into the holiday spirit and relax.

    Add some of this Christmas Popcorn and a Hot Cocoa Bomb- and you have a wonderful cozy evening.

    Hot Cocoa and Christmas Popcorn is such a great combo!

    Iโ€™ve grown up watching White Christmas every year and my husband always watches Itโ€™s a Wonderful Life. What are your favorite holiday movies to watch?

        What a great question! I use the 2.75 oz bags- for me they are the standard popcorn size bag (not a mini or low cal serving bag) but I realize that might not be standard where you are. Thank you for asking!
