Christmas Popcorn is one of my absolute favorite holiday treats! It is a perfect treat to make with kids and is great for gift giving. I love to make the whole holiday season so I can always have some around. Popcorn, pretzels, white chocolate and candies come together to create one sweet and salty holiday treat.

I love making sweet treats for the holidays and the Christmas season is my favorite.  This festive popcorn mix has a delicious blend of sweet and salty and is perfect for all your holiday activities.  

Popcorn, pretzels, candies and white chocolate make up this delicious mix that gets topped with some adorable holiday sprinkles. 

You can make a big batch of this and set it out on your dessert table but it also makes a perfect present.  You can fill up cellophane bags and hand them out to the kids in your family or give away as treats to your guests.  It is also perfect for a hostess gift.  Pack it into tins to give away as gifts!

This holiday mix is also super customizable, you can add your own favorite candies and add-ins. 

The popcorn and salty pretzels are the perfect base for the creamy, sweet white chocolate coating.  It all comes together to make one addicting, delicious snack.

This popcorn is the best for munching on while watching Christmas movies.
