New Flavorful Food For Big December Movies

Going to the movies and NOT getting a tasty and delectable snack makes for a very uncomfortable experience where you become more wrapped up in the growing sense of hunger and noise from your empty stomach than you do in the film playing on the silver screen. It’s just that movies and snacks go together like Abbott and Costello, Amy Poehler and Tina Fey, and Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon, and it’s hard to imagine one without the other. And more times than not, you only have yourself to blame if you skip out on the concession line before being transported to some magical world on the silver screen.

AMC Theaters has long held it down in the movie snacks category, with incredible popcorn, an assortment of candy, all types of drinks, and some god-tier food options that are up there with a lot of restaurants. And with the glut of movies coming out as 2022 draws to a close, we are excited to offer all kinds of food options that are out of this world. In honor of those movies and tasty foods, we’ve come up with some flavorful fare that is perfect for the big December movies, no matter if you’re watching a long-awaited sequel years in the making, a family-friendly animated adventure , or a roaring and bopping story set in Hollywood’s Golden Age.

Supreme Flatbread and Avatar: The Way Of Water

A supreme sequel calls for an equally impressive movie snack, and AMC Theaters has you covered with the Supreme Flatbread that pairs up nicely with James Cameron’s massive AVATAR: THE WAY OF WATER. While you watch Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana, and Sigourney Weaver return to the planet of Pandora for the first time in more than a decade, take your taste buds on an adventure with this hot, cheesy, and tasty flatbread.

The Supreme Flatbread, with its melty cheese, juicy peppers, and savory pepperoni, is substantial to say the very least, and it’s one of the few items on the AMC Theaters menu that can stand toe-to-toe, or toe-to- crust, with the wonders and dangers that await in the second AVATAR movie. All that food should be more than enough to hold you over for the film’s nearly three-hour runtime when it opens on the big screen on December 16th.

Everything Bagel Bavarian Pretzel and Puss In Boots: The Last Wish

PUSS IN BOOTS: THE LAST WISH, the 2022 animated comedy from DreamWorks Animation, has a little bit of everything for the whole family.

But you could always play it safe and make it two pretzels just in case any unannounced guests, like Goldilocks and the Three Bears, join you when watching PUSS IN BOOTS: THE LAST WISH at your local AMC Theater starting December 21.

Why Jenna Bush Hager and her family eat Mexican food on Christmas Eve

For Jenna Bush Hager, it doesn’t quite feel like Christmas Eve without the foods of one marvelous corn-based cuisine.

The TODAY with Hoda & Jenna co-host has many family traditions she’s looking forward to this holiday season, but she’s particularly psyched about one that pays homage to her Texan roots.

“The main tradition that we have over Christmas is Mexican food on Christmas Eve, Tex-Mex. So it’s tamales and enchiladas, guacamole, etc.,” the 41-year-old explained in a new streaming special, “Holidays in My House,” on TODAY All Day.

Watch “Holidays in My House” at 9:30pm on the TODAY All Day streaming channel on Peacock or your smart TV.

Every family has its own unique approach to holiday meals, and it takes a little while for Jenna’s husband, Henry Hager, to warm up to hers.

“The first year that my husband spent Christmas with my family he was like, ‘Wait, where’s the ham?’ He couldn’t believe that was the way we celebrated,” she said. “But it’s just such a beautiful tradition. And one that we love to celebrate.”

The mother of three has always been vocal about her love for Tex-Mex food, and has shared her go-to queso recipe in the past (Savannah Guthrie is a big fan).

“I absolutely love queso. Queso is basically considered a food group in Texas,” she said at the time. “Growing up, when my mom was tired of cooking, we would go out to eat at least once a week, and it was almost always Mexican, so we ate a lot of queso!”

On TODAY All Day, Jenna also provided a glimpse into what her childhood Christmas celebrations in Texas were like.

“We were always with my mom’s parents, Jenna and Harold Welch. And we were in West Texas, which got pretty warm into the desert, so there wasn’t much snow. Although it did snow one year, and we couldn’t believe it,” she said.

Now that Jenna has her own children, Christmas is all about watching “the magic in their eyes” and reliving her own childhood. But the holidays are also about giving back, and that’s something the mother-of-three is especially passionate about.

“It’s like that old phrase, ‘It’s better to give than to receive,’ and it’s so true. And I think this year in particular, that’s sort of our theme as a little family is that we want to make sure that we’re giving as much as we possibly can because we know that people are hurting,” she said.

This holiday season, Jenna and her family plan to do one service project every weekend to get in on the season of giving.

“There’s an organization that we work with, it’s a food bank that delivers food to different homes and you can still do it (virtually),” she said.
