How to Keep it Poppin' While Watching the Emmy Awards This Year

How to Keep it Poppin' While Watching the Emmy Awards This Year

Mark your calendars. The Emmy Awards will air (for the 69th year in a row) on September 17, 2017.

With Stephen Colbert as the host, you're surely in for a treat.

But here's how to truly treat yourself for this year's Emmy Awards: Pop some fresh popcorn, an easily guilt-free (yet totally indulgent-feeling) snack, and enjoy the show. Popcorn is such a simple, healthy snack, that you can easily spice up or add some flavor to—without overdoing it. Throw in some fresh herbs, like rosemary for example, and grate some cheddar or parmesan on top of it. Ditch the butter, and opt for some olive oil, ghee, or avocado oil.

Here are some Emmy-worthy popcorn accessories for the big night (or really any night):
