Time for snacks! Whether you’re gathering a crowd for a screening of Elf or catching up on Yellowstone in a quiet moment, you need snacks. And there is no better snack for kicking back than popcorn — a sometimes salty, sometimes sweet highly snackable treat. In this week’s issue, John Fladd talks to popcorn experts and does some recipe tinkering to create some corn delights.

Amy Diaz offers a look at new holiday films for kids, families, grown-ups and people who argue that Die Hard is a Christmas movie (page 28). John also checks out some seasonal brews from area beer makers (page 22). Or perhaps you want to enjoy the season’s lights? In this week’s Kiddie Pool (page 20) we list some of the spots to find holiday lights, and Michael Witthaus takes a closer look at LaBelle Lights on page 32.
