Cut a piece of waxed paper to fit inside one side of the paper bag. Insert it in the bag along one long wide side of the bag. This will keep the markers from bleeding through to the other sides of the bag.
Use the markers to draw holiday designs on the bottom half of one wide side of each bag. Optional—use stickers to decorate the bags.
Fold down to the outside the top of each lunch bag—2 to 3 1-inch turns.
In the mixing bowl or grocery sack, combine the kettle corn, crackers, pretzels, nuts, and cranberries. Mix with a spoon or spatula until evenly distributed.
Divide the mix between the bags and serve. If storing the mix, place in an airtight container or resealable bag.
