Happy National Popcorn String Day! In The Christmas Tree Book, Phillip Snyder writes that the first Christmas tree in Williamsburg, Virginia appeared in 1842 and was decked out in popcorn, nuts, paper decorations and a gold star.   German-Americans helped to cement popcorn's status as an iconic Christmas tree decoration in the early twentieth century (they dyed it different colors and strung it along with edible treats like fruit and nuts). Cranberries soon became a popular addition because of their long shelf life, but you can use just about anything when making your own popcorn garland.   When making #PopcornGarland, it’s better to use day-old popcorn because fresh popcorn breaks easily. You should also keep a fresh bowl nearby to eat while you string! #NationalPopcornStringDay #PopcornString #FoodSales #WeKnowFood #FoodConsultant #FoodDude #FoodService #Food #FoodServiceSolutions #FoodOfTheDay #NobertSales @NobertSales (at Germantown, Tennessee) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmHY5mLue0o/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

It’s National Popcorn String Day! Popcorn garlands were firstly created by colonists who adapted the European tree decorating traditions. With a big needle popcorn is strung creating lines which can be wrapped around the tree. Popcorn sculptures were also popular with mini Christmas trees created with popcorn which were skewered to an apple base.
