Remember when we first introduced you to the small-but-mighty Popcorn Kitchen crew?
Well, we’ve swapped aprons for Christmas jumpers, poured ourselves something fizzy, and taken a few minutes away from the popcorn to answer some very important festive questions!

Between packing up gifts, sampling gingerbread popcorn, and humming along to Mariah Carey, we’re here to share our fun, foodie and occasionally slightly chaotic Christmas traditions!
