Buddy the Elf’s favorite food group is making its way to the popcorn bowl. SkinnyPop Elf Maple Syrup Kettle Corn is part of Hershey’s 2026 holiday snack lineup.
Maple syrup-flavored popcorn and a Christmas movie marathon? That seems like a very appropriate pairing for a character who takes his syrup seriously.
What Is SkinnyPop Elf Maple Syrup Kettle Corn?
Hershey describes it as maple syrup-flavored kettle popcorn inspired by Buddy the Elf. It joins a holiday assortment that includes seasonal chocolate, snack mixes and other treats.
Set a bowl out for Elf night or add the bag to a movie-themed gift basket. We haven’t tasted it, so we can’t tell you how sweet it is or compare it with pouring actual syrup over popcorn.
Where to Look
Hershey says its holiday products will be available for a limited time at participating retailers nationwide during the season. The company did not provide a specific price for this popcorn in its announcement; retailers set their own prices.
Check your local store’s holiday snack section or app for availability before making a trip. And read the package for current ingredient and allergen information if you’re sharing.
