Who doesn’t love popcorn? This globally enjoyed snack has been around for centuries and was once used in ancient Aztec ceremonies. Popcorn has continued to evolve from ancient times to the classic, salt & butter, to today’s gourmet flavors like Sea Salt Caramel. Popcorn of the month clubs can now deliver both classic and modern gourmet flavors to anywhere in the country.
The best way to truly enjoy the flavor evolution of popcorn is to join a popcorn of the month club. Now you might be thinking that a popcorn of the month club sounds a bit silly, but it’s one of the most fabulous ideas out there. Think about it, a variety of fun flavored popcorn delivered conveniently to your door, what can be better than that?
One of the reasons popcorn of the month clubs is so well-liked, besides getting a delicious treat, is the multitude of fabulous flavors you get to experience. Honestly, it blows my mind that so many varieties exist, and a popcorn of the month club is the optimal way to try them all.
Are you wondering how it works? Well, there is a wide variety of clubs to choose from with a multitude of plans, from three months to a full-year membership. Some of the clubs allow you to customize your orders whereas other clubs surprise you with their popcorn of the month flavor. A few subscriptions offer one flavor a month, whereas others send two or more flavors.

Shirley’s Popcorn of the Month
Shirley’s Gourmet Popcorn Company started at the Shannon Theatre, being sold as a classic movie snack. However, the popcorn grew in such popularity that people began to inquire about how they could buy the popcorn without having to buy a movie ticket.

Bulk Candy Store Funfair Treats
The Bulk Candy Store offers a fairly simple Popcorn of the Month Club, which features 4 bags of popcorn per shipment. The company currently makes more than 50 flavors of popcorn, so there’s plenty of variety from one month to the next. You’re not likely to receive many repeat flavors at all.
Some of the flavors include s’mores popcorn, tropical popcorn, strawberry popcorn, churro popcorn, and plenty more. There are also sometimes themed limited edition flavors in the mix, like one designed especially for Valentine’s Day.
The subscription costs $28.99 per month, which is pretty good for the amount of popcorn you receive.
Pop Central Popcorn
Pop Central Popcorn takes an interesting approach, as they don’t just have a single popcorn club. They have 4 different clubs instead, each focusing on different types of popcorn flavoring. Their first is a Sweet & Spicy Popcorn Club, which costs $175 for a 6-month subscription (running from Dec through to May).
Then there’s the Sweet Stuff Popcorn Club, which just sends you sweet popcorn. This is a 6-month subscription as well and costs $145.50. However, this time the shipments are sent out on alternate months throughout the year, rather than in a 6-month block.
Next is the Salty and Savory Popcorn Club. This one also gives you 6 packages of popcorn, sent on alternate months throughout the year. However, it’s the most expensive club, costing $196 for the 6 shipments.
Finally, there’s the Holiday Popcorn Club. This is just a 3-month subscription for $105. Shipments for this club go out in December, February, and April – themed around Christmas/New Year, Valentines/Mardi Gras, and Easter/Spring.
These different clubs give you plenty of options for popcorn flavors and package sizes. It shouldn’t be hard to find a club that’s perfect for you.
Laughing Mountain Flavor Of The Month Club
The Laughing Mountain Flavor of the Month Club is perfect for keeping things simple. The subscription just costs $12.99 per month. The club even prompts you for payment each month, making it easy to cancel if you want to.
Each shipment provides a single bag that contains roughly 14 cups of popcorn. The flavor changes each month. For example, Loaded Baked Potato is shipped out in April, Mexican Street Corn is shipped in June, and Dill Pickle in November.
There’s a full list of flavors on the site. However, the listed flavors aren’t guaranteed, as the company may sometimes change one when it’s time to ship.
Miss Hannah’s Gourmet Popcorn
Miss Hannah’s Gourmet Popcorn offers some fascinating flavors, including C2 Explosion, Coconut Creme, Garlic Peppercorn, Hurricane, and Rosemary Parm. The company’s Popcorn of the Month Club is a fantastic way to try some of these different flavors for yourself.
Each shipment provides 5 different flavors. These include best sellers, customer favorites, and sometimes completely new flavors.
The monthly version of the club costs $60 per month. There’s also a bi-monthly version, which averages out to $63 per shipment and ships out every 2 months. Or, the quarterly version, for $66 every 3 months.
Metropolis Gourmet Popcorn
The Metropolis Gourmet Popcorn club ships out an impressive 5 popcorn flavors each shipment. Many of these are best-selling flavors, but seasonal varieties sometimes make it into the mix too.
There are 2 versions of this club. The first costs $189 and includes 12 shipments. The other costs $69 and gives you just 4 shipments instead. Some potential flavors include Dark Chocolate Sea Salt, Salted Double Caramel, Sweet Heat, and Loaded Baked Potato. These aren’t incredibly unusual, but they’re certainly tasty.
Kernel Crate Popcorn Subscription
The bright and bold Kernel Crate Popcorn Subscription sends out 3 flavors each month in a brightly colored cartoon-like box. The popcorn is always fresh and popped just a few days before customers receive it.
Some of the flavors are truly unusual, like Ghost Pepper Kettle Corn or Horchata, while others are more familiar. The sweet flavors come in 3-ounce bags, while the savory ones are sometimes in smaller 1-ounce bags instead.
The monthly price ranges from $15.49 to $18, depending on the length of your subscription. This subscription is managed through Cratejoy, so people new to the service may be able to get a discount (which is always a bonus!).
Damn Good Popcorn
Finally, there’s Damn Good Popcorn. This is a simpler subscription than most, shipping out a single large bag of popcorn each month. The flavors alternate between 3 styles – candy coated, savory, and cheese.
The 3-month subscription for this club costs $65, while the 6-month version costs $105 instead. There’s also a 12-month version, but prices aren’t given for that one.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are There Any Popcorn Kernel Of The Month Clubs?
Almost all the popcorn clubs focus on popcorn that has already been popped and seasoned. The main exception is Karen’s Artisan Popcorn. In addition to a regular subscription that sends out gourmet popcorn every month, Karen also offers a popcorn kernel of the month club.
This gives you a bag that contains five different kernel varieties, including blue, yellow, black, white, and red kernels. It’s a one-of-a-kind subscription that’s perfect if you want full control over your popcorn. This might also be the club you want if you’re planning to build a popcorn bar.
Is There A Microwave Popcorn Subscription?
Monthly popcorn clubs all have a small-batch artisanal focus, where they’re often focusing on gourmet flavors and styles. You won’t see many big brands in the clubs and most stick to minimal processing.
As such, the popcorn is normally already popped and seasoned for you. There aren’t any microwavable options at all.
The closest you could get would be to order microwave popcorn through Amazon’s Subscribe & Save program. This provides up to 15% off your order and sends you items every month. Doing so could feel much like a popcorn club, except your order has no variety (it will be exactly the same each month).
Does Popcorn Feature In Any Snack Subscription Boxes?
Snack subscriptions are fun if you’re looking for a variety of snacks. There’s an almost endless supply of boxes to choose from, in every style imaginable.
Whether they contain popcorn depends on the box’s focus. For example, natural boxes often include air popped popcorn with healthy seasonings, while a college-style snack box might include microwave popcorn instead.
You’re less likely to find popcorn in international snack boxes, although you might still see it occasionally.
Are There Healthy Popcorn Clubs?
Coastal Maine Popcorn Co. is an excellent choice for healthy popcorn. Their kernels are always air popped, allowing the company to avoid oil. They also focus on high quality ingredients and avoid anything artificial. Unusually, the subscription provides one sweet and one savory flavor each month, giving you plenty of variety.
Karen’s Artisan Popcorn is a good choice too. The flavoring ingredients are always natural and there are a few savory flavors that help you keep your sugar intake low. You could also just stick with her kernel of the month club. This way you can choose your own healthy toppings.
