Pop Into 2025: 10 Fun and Easy Ways to Stick to Your New Year’s Resolutions

Gerald Dickerson

It’s a new year, and that means it’s time to make promises to yourself you totally plan to keep—like eating healthier, saving money, or finally organizing that one closet (you know the one). But let’s be real: sticking to New Year’s resolutions can feel like trying not to eat an entire bag of our delicious popcorn in one sitting.

No judgment here—we’ve been there. That’s why we’ve rounded up 10 easy and practical ways to make your 2025 resolutions stick (and maybe even have some fun while you’re at it). Let’s pop into it!

1. Keep It Real (Like, Really Real)

Don’t set yourself up for failure with impossible goals like, “I’m going to wake up at 5 a.m. and run 10 miles every day.” Start small and build from there.
Example: “I’ll take a 20-minute walk three times a week.”
💡 Pro Tip: Treat yourself to a bag of Kingpop popcorn

2. Write It Down, Then Post It Up

Write your goals somewhere you’ll see them daily. Your fridge, your mirror, or even the popcorn cabinet (we know you have one).
Why It Works: Seeing your goals regularly keeps them top of mind, just like the smell of fresh popcorn keeps us heading back for more.

3. Break It Down Like Movie Night Cleanup

Big goals can be overwhelming, so break them into bite-sized pieces. Instead of “I’ll save $5,000 this year,” try “I’ll save $100 each week.” Little wins add up!
🎯 Pro Tip: Use our Snack-Sized Planner (#shamelessplug) to track your progress.

4. Remember Why You Started

Is your goal to get healthier so you can keep up with the kiddos? Or maybe save for that dream vacation? When motivation dips (and it will), go back to your "why."
Fun Tip: Add pictures of your goal to your fridge—bonus points if it includes popcorn on a beach.

5. Build a Vision Board (with Snacks Nearby)

Gather some old magazines, scissors, and a glue stick, and create a vision board of what you want to achieve in 2025. Make it a family activity!
🍿 Must-Do: Keep popcorn within arm’s reach—it’s creative fuel.

6. Find Your Accountability Buddy

Everything’s more fun with a partner, right? Share your goals with someone who will cheer you on (and call you out when you slack).
Family Fun Idea: Make it a friendly competition—whoever sticks to their goals the longest gets the biggest popcorn bowl at movie night.

7. Celebrate Small Wins (with Popcorn, Obviously)

Every step counts! If you hit a milestone, reward yourself. You know what pairs perfectly with success? Popcorn!
🎉 Pro Tip: Try our limited-edition Flavor of the Month for an extra-special treat.

8. Don’t Let Setbacks Derail You

Missed a goal? Life happens. Don’t throw in the towel—just pick up where you left off. Even burnt popcorn isn’t a total loss; you just make a fresh batch.
Encouraging Reminder: Progress is progress, no matter how small.

9. Use Apps and Tools to Stay on Track

From fitness apps to budgeting trackers, technology is your best friend. Find tools that fit your goals and let them do the heavy lifting.
📱 Fun Suggestion: Try our Popcorn Points Tracker (coming soon!) to reward yourself with snacks as you hit your milestones.

10. Reflect, Reset, Repeat

At the end of each month, take a moment to reflect. What’s working? What’s not? Adjust your plan and keep moving forward.
Why It Works: Because growth is a process—just like perfecting our caramel popcorn recipe (it took 37 tries, and we regret none of them).

Pop Into Your Best Year Yet!

With these tips and a dash of determination, you can stick to New Year’s resolutions and make 2025 your best year yet. And hey, if all else fails, at least you’ve got popcorn—and that’s always a win in our book.
