Is this thing real? Google tells me it is , but I’m no so sure. Christmas at the Kringles has a very unique theater souvenir in the form of a Jingles Collectible Popcorn Bucket. They even claim that this thing has a butter-dispensing ball gag. Seriously, take a look.
Nothing brings the family together quite like a butter-dribbling gimp head. I have a sneaking suspicion that this is just a goofy parody. But when I double check with Google, they tell me: “Yes, the black leather gimp mask popcorn bucket for the horror-comedy film Christmas at the Kringles is a real promotional item.”
Ok. I totally believe you, dude.
Jingles is a Christmas gimp loosely based on The Gimp from Pulp Fiction. The reveal arrives just ahead of Christmas at the Kringles opening in theaters on Friday, October 30, just in time for Halloween. Like The Nightmare Before Christmas, the movie perfectly bridges the Halloween to Christmas pipeline.
The horror comedy follows a family whose new neighbors celebrate Christmas all year long, only for the seemingly cheerful household to turn out to be hiding something far more sinister.
The film’s official account has also shared a separate video inviting viewers to tour the “loving and completely normal Kringle House.” The house tour plays along with the movie’s unsettling holiday premise, giving audiences another look at the world of the Kringles before the film arrives in theaters.
Tickets are available through the official Christmas at the Kringles website. As for the Jingles popcorn bucket, the reveal establishes it as a collectible tied to the film, but the posts do not provide confirmed pricing or retail availability details. I’m saying is just a gag gift for X scrollers. But what do I know.
