Food, drink and dancing along with the Science Storms and Black Creativity exhibits will entertain guests through the night. Guests can also look forward to a Garrett Popcorn Shops® luxury gourmet popcorn bar to make the event even sweeter. We’re honored to be part of Black Creativity’s mission to support our aspiring youth!

It’s National Popcorn Day and Garrett Popcorn Shops® is celebrating our favorite VIPs — Very Important Popcorn, that is.


CheeseCorn™: Well-loved and leaves a mark everywhere. Afterward, fans who shake hands are so honored they claim they’ll “never wash their hands again.”


CaramelCrisp®: Never leaves home without a gilt coat. Presence shines and leaves the crowds smiling.

Chicago Mix: A real people pleaser that accommodates everyone’s requests. Having won the hearts of Chicagoans, Chicago Mix makes appearances in New York City with hopes to hit it big on Broadway.

Nut Caramels: Mislabeled as a “nut,” this flavor has proven to critics that there’s no joke. Never forgets to acknowledge the supporting cast of Pecan, Almond, Cashew and Macadamia that made it big.

Retro Holiday Tin from Garrett Popcorn Shops

We can’t keep the holiday cheer to ourselves this time of year. Someone is usually humming a carol or two around the office, and often the lyrics change into something more cheesy than intended. Rather than stifle the creative impulse, we decided to round up the the most clever snippets and put them out through Twitter under #PopcornCarols. We hope you’ll look for them and perhaps join us in merry measure!

To get you started, here are the lyrics to Tins the Season (sung to the tune of Deck the Halls):

Deck the Halls with Garrett Popcorn
Fa la la la la lah la la la!
Tins the Season, Cheesy Popcorn
Fa la la la la lah la la la la!
Buy some for your office party.
Fa la la la la lah la la la!
Or just for your cousin Marty
Fa la la la lah, la la la la!

Smell the Caramel Crisp before us
Fa la la la lah, la la la la!
Buy your Tins and join the chorus
Fa la la la lah, la la la la!
Follow us in merry measure
Fa la la la la la, la la la!
While we sing of Garrett’s pleasure
Fa la la la lah, la la la la!

Fast away the old year passes
Fa la la la lah, la la la la!
Get some now ye lads and lasses
Fa la la la lah, la la la la!
Eat your popcorn all together
Fa la la la la lah, la la la!
Garrett’s is the best forever
Fa la la la lah, la la la la!
