Hey Engchik Eats readers!
I’m excited to share that I’ve partnered with viral holiday website National Today [https://nationaltoday.com/] to share the ultimate 2018 holiday celebration calendar. Below, you’ll find exciting holidays throughout the year — so you can party all year round with me.
I love celebrating at National Today because, not only do they clue me into each month’s holiday—they also give some fun holiday history, facts that will blow my mind, and helpful deals that help me celebrate in style.
Remember to mark these holidays on your calendar, and cheers to a 2018 full of celebration! Stay tuned for other fun days all year long.
We are set to celebrate popcorn day!
Would you believe that humans have been eating popcorn for over 5000 years (and some historians believe longer)! While it was always a great snack, popcorn “popped” to consumption levels during World War II when sugar rations made candy and other snack foods very hard to come by. Since then, with movies and the microwave, popcorn is popular in American culture as a yummy and fast treat!

It's Easy and Fast to Make
Whether you're cooking on the stovetop or in the microwave, popcorn takes a matter of minutes—and you can personalize it with your own favorite toppings: classic butter, spices, and even sriracha! Yum.

It's Filling
Popcorn is a whole grain—the starchy inside of the grain has been cooked and has a lot of air in the final product. The carbohydrates and air add up, making a wonderful snack alternative for those watching their waistline.

It Comes with Good Memories
Think of the morning matinee with your dad or that sweet (and awkward) first date at the movies. Popcorn tends to be part of festive occasions and meaningful moments.

Plan a Movie Marathon
Three weeks into January? Chances are you just want to hide and eat comfort food—but, your resolutions. There's a win-win! Tee up your favorite Star Wars Trilogy and pop a big bowl of popcorn. You can enjoy the wisdom of Yoda and keep to your diet.
(A little olive oil and salt with the carb-y goodness of the popcorn may just hit the spot!)
Put on the Popcorn Olympics at Your Office
Popcorn basketball, popcorn air hockey, popcorn relay race? After you finish filming your mannequin challenge, burn off your pent-up energy. It will definitely keep you on your toes!
