With its [sweet and salty flavor profile](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smartfood-chocolate-caramel), the snack is the perfect way to tide guests over until Christmas dinner. Just in time for the 2018 holiday season, SkinnyPop has debuted a new Gingerbread Cookie and White Chocolate Peppermint flavors. The Gingerbread Cookie Popcorn pays homage to traditional gingerbread cookies, with a sharp ginger bite and the sweetness of cinnamon sugar. On the other hand, the [White Chocolate Peppermint Popcorn](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peppermint-crunch-popcorn) boasts the sweet and creamy taste of white chocolate, with a refreshing pop of peppermint. Like all SkinnyPop snacks, the kettle corn is made from ingredients that are non-GMO and gluten-free.
