Grinch Snack Mix (Christmas Movie Snack Mix)

It is the most wonderful time of the year. Let the Christmas movie binge season begin, this Grinch Popcorn snack mix is the perfect movie companion.

I am not sure what it is, it may just be me being in the holiday feels, but the Lifetime and Hallmark movies, no matter how terrible the acting is, just make me so happy! I also can rewatch the Christmas classics 500 times and not get tired of them. My favorite Christmas movies are; Elf, Santa Clause (all of them lol), and of course THE GRINCH! I have such a soft spot for that fuzzy, green man, and this green Grinch popcorn pairs perfectly!

Before I get into the details, I just have to give a shoutout to the Target holiday snack mixes.. They are next level, and honestly, this snack mix is just as good, if not better because it’s green 😉

How long does the grinch snack mix stay fresh for?

Make sure you seal the grinch snack mix in a plastic baggy, otherwise the popcorn will go stale quickly! This snack mix will stay fresh for 3-5 days if stored properly.

Absolutely! What is so fun about snack mixes is that you can have fun with them. I made a snack mix for New Year last year and used Chex cereal and toffee peanut M&M’s so good! See the recipe here.

If you want the popcorn to be even more green you can coat the entire popcorn in the green chocolate, however, this recipe uses LesserEvil’s Matcha popcorn so it is already naturally green, which is why it is the best ingredient!

Popcorn is a great healthy snack! I have it almost every night, the great thing is you get a lot of volume for a few calories. I love the 100-calorie microwave pop bags and the LesserEvil popcorn!
