You can also customize your popcorn to your preference as Cineplex is offering different seasonings for your popcorn.

“We have shake it seasoning; we have butter, and for those more inclined, or a little bit adventurous give it a chance with the peanut M&M’s,” she said.

For those who might not want to venture out into the cold, there are other ways to get your popcorn including ordering it off UBER Eats.

“If you do that this week you are entered into a contest with Uber where you can win free popcorn for a year,” she pointed out.
