Prepare a large sheet of parchment paper or wax paper on your counter. In a very large pot or Dutch oven, melt the unsalted butter over medium-low heat.

Add the mini marshmallows to the melted butter. Stir continuously with a large spatula until the marshmallows are completely melted and the mixture is smooth and gooey.

Remove the pot from the heat. Immediately add the popped popcorn, red and green sprinkles, and small candies to the marshmallow mixture. Stir quickly and thoroughly with the spatula until all the popcorn and candies are evenly coated.

Allow the mixture to cool slightly for a few minutes until it's warm enough to handle but not too hot. Lightly grease your hands with a small amount of butter or cooking spray. Form the warm, sticky mixture into individual 2-inch diameter balls. Place the formed popcorn balls on the prepared parchment or wax paper to cool completely.

Once cooled, the Christmas Popcorn Balls will firm up. Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
