- 1/2 cup dried cranberries
- 1/2 cup mini marshmallows (optional)
- Instructions:

2. Top Off Your Hot Cocoa or Eggnog
Nothing pairs with holiday treats like a warm drink, and Doc Popcorn’s Gingerbread Cookie flavor adds a touch of spicy-sweet magic to classic winter beverages. Here’s how to take your favorite holiday drink to the next level:
- For Hot Cocoa:
After making a cup of your favorite hot cocoa, sprinkle a handful of Gingerbread Cookie popcorn on top of the whipped cream. The popcorn’s gingerbread spices blend perfectly with the chocolate, and the popcorn absorbs just enough cocoa for an extra indulgent treat. - For Eggnog:
If you’re an eggnog fan, try garnishing your glass with a sprinkle of crumbled Gingerbread Cookie popcorn. For extra flair, rim the glass with crushed popcorn by dipping it in honey and then rolling it in the crumbs for a festive twist.
