Christmas Popcorn is a fun holiday themed Marshmallow Popcorn Recipe that is perfect to package up and hand out to friends and neighbors.
Christmas is coming and it’s time to think about the treats you want to deliver to family and friends. This Christmas Popcorn is full of marshmallow goodness and a delicious treat everyone will love.
This is so easy to make and I love the combo of sweet and salty. You can use whatever your favorite holiday candy is. I’m a big fan of Christmas M & M’s and always grab several bags when they first come out. You can also pick the red and green M & M’s out of a regular bag if you have too!

- If not enjoying right away, make sure to store the popcorn in an airtight container.
- This popcorn is best eaten fresh, within a day or two.

I don’t see in the instructions when to add the brown sugar? It is listed in the recipe, but not included in the directions.
Help.
Leigh Anne says
Sorry about that – add in with the butter and melt together. I’ve updated the recipe.

On the Holiday popcorn, how sticky does this suppose to get mine was very sticky.
Leigh Anne says
It is a little sticky but not so sticky that you can’t get it off your fingers.
Cammi says
Mine was sticky enough that I made into popcorn balls.
Melinda says
It gets drier as it sits. I made it for a family movie night, and it set in the bowl for a few hours. By the time we ate it, it was like a Rice Krispy treat — a totally doable “sticky” level. 🙂 I also found after coating the popcorn with the sauce, that it needed (for me) the slightest bit of salt to bring out the flavor. It really changed it for me. We also added peanuts with the candy and sprinkles to make it “hearty.”
