For some, the holidays conjure memories of unwrapping presents and sipping warm cider and listening to Us “All We Want for Christmas Is You” on repeat.
For others, late December is a time for Chinese food and Oscar-bait movies and family arguments about said Oscar-bait movies. But, no matter what permutation of holiday season your family enjoys, there is no version that wouldn’t benefit from popcorn.
Popcorn does not, perhaps, receive the glory of eggnog or candy canes or latkes or any of the other foods associated with the holidays.
Yeah, that’s cuz you can get popcorn whenever, you may be thinking. But, no, we’re not talking about the kind of popcorn you can buy in the supermarket, or that you munched on during (all 17 hours of) Interstellar.
We’re talking holiday popcorn: the kind that comes in tins, in special flavors, or wrapped in unusually elaborate packaging—the sort of popcorn that makes you remember a night watching a weird Olsen twins movie with your cousins when you were 12, or your grandparents’ fireplace, or a night you drank too much dessert wine with your best friend.
Before we truly go off the rails here talking about the nostalgic properties of a good tin of popcorn, let’s take a look at some options you can purchase this season, all tried and tested by the intrepid https://www.kravinkernels.com staff. (Note: if you really want to make friends in an office, contrive a way to have no fewer than 20 bags of popcorn at your cubicle for a month straight.)
