AMC debuts salted caramel pretzels for ‘Ebenezer’ moviegoers
AMC Theatres is putting a sweet twist on its longtime Bavarian pretzels with a new salted caramel flavor, complete with icing for dipping. The movie theater chain is promoting the new treat alongside the release of “Ebenezer.”
The day before Friday the 13th, AMC Theatres shared a look at two sweet treats to ease the pain of the supposed bad luck day.
“Ebenezer” brings a Gothic Victorian atmosphere to the familiar Charles Dickens Christmas story, balancing dark imagery, supernatural encounters and jump scares with humor and holiday heart. Johnny Depp’s take on Ebenezer Scrooge makes for a Christmas movie with a distinctly spooky edge.

AMC’s new salted caramel pretzels offer a fitting treat for the experience. Available as the oversized Bavarian Legend or bite-sized pretzel pieces, the sweet-and-salty snacks come with icing for dipping.
The combination feels right at home with the film’s Victorian Christmas setting, adding a little indulgence to Scrooge’s holiday journey.

Pretzels actually predate Scrooge by centuries, although AMC’s salted caramel version with icing is a decidedly modern twist on the European classic. A few reports indicate the invention of the modern lye-glazed pretzel to 1839, just four years before Dickens published “A Christmas Carol.”
