girl holding up oranges to her eyes 2022 food trends

We are all about fashion trends, makeup trends, and of course, food trends. The Whole Foods 2022 Food Trends report is giving us tons of inspo for new recipes, so we decided to dive in and give you recipe ideas, gardening DIYs, and more that you can take into the new year and beyond.

Dry January All Year Long

These days, millennials and Gen Z alike are looking for alcohol alternatives, and there are plenty of booze-free drinks to give you all the classy feelings of a cocktail,without the buzz. You can make up your own mocktail recipes, whip up a classic Shirley Temple, or make a cocktail without the liquor added in. Here are a few of our favorite mocktails to try:

Rosemary Watermelonade

Say hello to your new pink drink. Perfect for picnics, baby showers, or dinner with your best gals, this watermelonade is the thing of our dreams.

La Croix and Lavender Mocktail

Sparkling water is already a great idea, but the addition of lavender simple syrup and grapefruit juice takes it to a whole new level. Don't forget the garnish!

Homemade Lemonade

Since you need to water down your lemonade concentrate, why not use flavored water? We love adding blackberries and raspberries to the final drink, but pick your favorites for a combo that is all your own.

Almost Vegetarian

If you're interested in vegetarianism and veganism but you're not sure you can entirely cut meat out, try Reducetarianism, or reducing your meat consumption. With so many salads, pastas, and vegan recipes, minimizing your meat intake is easier than it sounds. If you do have to eat meat, go for grass-fed or pasture-raised. Here are a few meat-free recipes to get you started:

Vegetarian Slow-Cooker Stuffed Mushrooms

Stuffed with a delicious spinach artichoke blend and small enough to be the perfect app or side dish, this recipe takes less than two hours from start to finish. And since you use your Crock Pot, you don't have to be in the kitchen the whole time!

Cashew Milk Alfredo Pasta

Not only is this dish meatless, but it's also made with cashew sauce instead of cream. The Alfredo sauce is so silky, you'll barely even notice it's dairy-free.

Single-Serve Vegetarian Enchilada Lasagna

Turn your work lunch into something more fun than a sandwich with this tasty recipe. The black beans, diced tomatoes, cheese, onions, and red peppers are tasty and filling, making it the perfect winter dish.

Turmeric

The golden spice turmeric has been used for centuries, and while recipes like golden milk aren't new, Whole Foods is starting to see an increase in cereals, sauerkrauts, and even ice cream sandwiches that feature turmeric. It's got greatanti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, and it can help with depression and arthritis. Here are a few recipes you can whip up to give it a try:

DIY Turmeric Tonic

Conquer your cold with wellness-boosting and immune-supportive ingredients like ginger, cayenne, and lemon. The honey will also help the taste and coat your sore throat.

Creamy Thai Turmeric Chicken + Noodles

If you're not a fan of turmeric drinks, add some to your meals for an unexpected boost. Not only is this dish full of flavor, but it also only takes 30 minutes to make. Hello weeknight dinner!

Golden Milk

Use non-dairy milk, turmeric, and cayenne for this creamy drink. Similar to how you make matcha, just whisk everything together and pour over a strainer. Try it over ice during the summer or in a mug on colder days.

Small Space Gardening

With the introduction of their market (and the greenhouse on top) in Brooklyn, Whole Foods was able to supply incredibly fresh products, even though they're in the middle of the city! Companies like Lettuce GrowandGardyn make it easy to grow herbs, spices, and more inside your home, even if you don't have a ton of space. Take a stab at growing your own, and try these recipes featuring fresh herbs:

Fennel Winter Salad

Blood Orange, thyme, and toasted walnuts?! Yes please. This winter salad is filling, healthy, and uber easy to top with fresh thyme.

Tomato Basil Orzo

This dish is a lot easier to make than it looks. Chock full of tomatoes, garlic, cheese, and fresh thyme and dill, each bite tastes better than the one before. Top with prosciutto for some extra flavor.

Gluten-Free Quinoa Bowls

With this quinoa bowl, you don't have to pick between healthy, tasty, or easy — you can have all three! You can swap out some of the veggies in favor of your personal faves, and fresh parsley, cilantro, or basil make for a great garnish.

Yuzu

Think of this citrus fruit, which is grown mainly in Asia, like a sister to oranges and lemons. It's the perfect amount of tart for vinaigrettes, seltzers, soups, and pasta dishes. Yuzu is low-calorie, can improve blood flow, and can even have anticancer properties. Try it out with these recipes:

Mille-Feuille

Even though this dessert literally means "thousand layers," it's a lot easier to make than it sounds. With both yuzu and the berries, these fruity flavors will balance out the richness of this dish.

Chicken Cauliflower Rice Bowls

With tasty chicken and a kick of sriracha, it won't take much for this meal to make it into your usual rotation. While the recipe calls for Trader Joe’s Yuzu Hot Sauce, feel free to also squeeze some fresh juice overtop before serving.

Sparkling Yuzu Pisco Sour

With egg whites, the citrusy punch from the yuzu, and the brandy and Pisco, this is a great cocktail to make for your New Year's celebration.

Hibiscus

Sweet and tart, hibiscus is a great addition for all kinds of drinks, yogurts, and more. Not only can this antioxidant-rich sip protect your eyes and help lower your blood pressure, but it also just looks gorgeous. We LOVE incorporating hibiscus into these recipes:

Copycat Very Berry Hibiscus Refresher

Making your own version of this Starbucks classic is super easy. All you need are tea bags and your favorite sweetener and voilà!

Red Wine Hibiscus Popsicles

Sure, popsicles are a summer staple, but if you're having a warm winter or you want to shake things up, try this recipe for a tasty and boozy evening treat.

Hibiscus Lemon Curd Tart

Beautiful enough for bachelorette parties and tasty enough for any family get together, this tart has a cocoa crust and edible flower garnish. Say no more.

Good For You Grains

In 2022, grocery store grains are putting more of an emphasis on the environment with processes that focus on soil health and nutrient cycling. Putting more care into the way that plants are grown means that we'll be able to have a better outcome! Get some more grains in your life with these recipes:

Two-Ingredient Pumpkin Pasta

Make your own pasta with healthy all-purpose flour and turn it into a date night that will start way before you take your first bite.

Homemade Bread

Not only was baking a favorite pastime during quarantine, but the bread that you get as a result is just so tasty. Opt for healthy buttermilk and wheat for bread that's as good for you as it tastes.

Pie Crust

Don't forget the pie! With this recipe, you get the option to use better-for-you flour that won't sacrifice the buttery goodness of the finished product.

Sunflower Seeds

Sunflower seeds have always been a fun snack, but now they're making their way into crackers, ice cream, and cheese. They've got protein and unsaturated fats, and they make a great alternative to nut-based products. Here are some ways we like to get our daily dose of sun (flower seeds, that is):

Buddha Bowls

Buddha bowls don't have to just be for dinner. Eat this delicious dish (which is full of fruit, avocado, and almond milk, btw) for a breakfast that will start your day off right.

Superfood Egg Sandwich

With eggs, spinach, seeds, avocado, and sauces, this recipe is about to satisfy all your comfort food needs. Make for breakfast, lunch, or dinner to add flavor to your day.

Healthy Quinoa Cakes With Ricotta Fig Bruschetta

Sunflower seeds, quinoa, and eggs are baked into these bite-sized cakes for a snack that is healthy and filling. Top with fig jam and bruschetta.

Moringa

Moringa is often used as an herbal remedy in places like India and Africa, and since the trees are fast-growing and drought-resistant, they've been used to fight malnutrition. Similar to matcha, it can be added to smoothies, sauces, and baking for some extra flavor. Here are some of our faves:

Moringa Oatmeal

We've tried berries, nuts, and maple syrup in our oatmeal, and we're definitely down to try this flavor addition. It's gluten-free, vegan, and will keep you full until lunch.

Bliss Balls

While this recipe calls for matcha, swapping the powder for moringa will give you a snack that will nourish your hair and protect your liver. Drizzle them in chocolate for a sweet finish.

Smoothie Bowl

Add some moringa to your go-to smoothie bowl for a recipe that will give you a boost of calcium, potassium, and iron.

Fizzy Drinks

While it feels like sugary, chemical-filled drinks are everywhere, healthy soda alternatives are easier to find than you might think. In addition to tasting great, they can have probiotics, botanicals, and more that make for a tasty drink when you want something more than just water. We love these healthy alternatives:

Poppi Prebiotic Soda ($30 for 12)

With flavors like ginger, strawberry, and raspberry, these low-calorie and low-sugar sodas will make your gut happy and boost your immune system.

OLIPOP Vintage Cola Sparkling Tonic ($37 for 12)

This caffeine-free tonic helps digestive health, contains prebiotics and plant fiber, and tastes super close to real soda. Double thumbs up.

Alani Nu Energy Drink ($30 for 12)

This baby has 200mg of caffeine, no sugar, and a dash of biotin that will help you glow.

Your February Love Horoscope: 6 Signs Are About to Get Lucky!

Welcome to February 2025, the month of love.

However, on the plus side, the love planet, Venus, moves into spicy Aries, which will fuel our motivation and hope. Want to dive deeply and learn more about what is in store for you this February? Keep reading and see what is in store for your zodiac sign in your February horoscope for 2025!

What to Expect in Your February Horoscope for 2025

Isabella Bonnet

While Mars retrograde continues, this month proves to be lovely and filled with possibilities. Now that the action planet is still in its backspin motion, it doesn’t mean you should be holding back from visualizing your dreams. Appreciate the stillness and explore different possibilities before deciding what’s right for you. Although you may feel like a sitting duck, I beg to differ. This Mars retrograde proves to be a test of our will by not being impulsive. Luckily, Mars goes direct later this month, so hang on tight before losing momentum.

Cora Pursley

February is off to a fiery start as Venus moves into Aries on Tuesday, February 4. Love and relationships will take on a new tempo, either sultry or temperamental. It's a period to experience excitement or realize what needs to be refined in your connection. On the same day, Jupiter, the planet of luck, goes direct! You will begin to see the silver lining in your journey and even the solution in how you can proceed. It's also a time to see how fate has played out in your story. If you're discontent, this is your chance to turn your life around. Having a little faith will take you much further than lowering your vibration with negativity. Listen to a mentor or take on a new sacred practice that elevates your well-being. Follow through with your promises and brighten someone’s day. Pay it forward to turn the tides.

Hannah Rivera

The Full Moon in Leo illuminates the sky and infuses us with optimism and renewal on Wednesday, February 12. Full Moons denote the need to let go and move on from what no longer serves your highest good. The great news is that this celestial event leaves us with a glimmer of hope and the willingness to close the chapter. On Friday, February 14, our communication ability will be poetic and ethereal as Mercury moves into Pisces. If you plan to go out on Valentine’s Day this year, expect this day to be more romantic than in past years. Speaking from the heart and through feeling will result better than pride or logic. Be playful and in the moment. Cherish your love.

Abbie Bythewood

The mist begins to thicken, and our intuition heightens as the Sun moves into Pisces on Tuesday, February 18. This season is all about fine-tuning our empathy and interconnectedness with life. Inner reflection and exploring your artistic side will help you stay centered. Honor your sensitivity and be unconditional. On Sunday, February 23, the motivation planet Mars goes direct. It’s not time to push through with an agreement or project. Recalibrate and pick up from where you left off last October 2024. This is your time to decide whether an idea or concept stays or goes. Expect traction and things to pick up speed in the next several weeks.

In closing, the New Moon in emotive Pisces happens on Thursday, February 27. It’s time to start a new chapter involving your subconscious beliefs. This lunation will imbue you with the ability to trust the Universe and dream bigger. Hold onto the faith and set small steps to cultivate your vision.

Speaking of changes, Jupiter Direct in your ninth house shifts your focus regarding your perception of life, traveling, or personal beliefs. Be playful in your approach, and consider this an opportunity to believe in yourself and your limitless possibilities. Then, on February 12, the Full Moon in Pisces in your eleventh house closes the chapter on your connections and past aspirations. If it feels right, letting go of old friendships or groups may be in the stars, but remember that your memories shaped you into who you are now. There is a part of you that is ready to evolve.

Mid-month, review your approaches to work and daily routines as Mercury and the Sun illuminate your sixth house — focus on self-care and set your work goals to optimize your energy. Begin a fitness regimen or detox to fine-tune your mind, body, and spirit. If you have been feeling like a wallflower at work lately, that is all about to change, with Mars Direct happening on February 23 in your tenth house of career.

Scorpio (October 23 - November 21)

Expect a change in the wind, Scorpio. Refocus your mindset and prioritize work, creativity, and joy to revamp your energy this February. It begins with Venus entering your sixth house. Expect pleasant exchanges in your work environment while energizing yourself through an exercise regimen. Be organized in your approach and make it happen. Jupiter Direct in your eighth house gives you a dose of magic to see how your energy works. As a Scorpio, you naturally emit emotion and be mindful that whatever you project inside reflects the outcome.

OMG, Tom Holland Wants To Start A Family With Zendaya "Sooner Rather Than Later"

If I'm completely honest, there are very few celebrity couples I care about the way I care about Tom Holland and Zendaya. Aside from the fact this couple is like a walking friends-to-lovers plotline IRL, and are both power houses on their own, these two actors and philanthropists are just unstoppable together. And Zendaya also showed up to the 2025 Golden Globes rocking a new ring on THAT finger. These two keep their relationship pretty private, so here's the latest news on it.

July 13, 2017 — Tom Holland And Zendaya Are Reportedly Dating

In July 2017, a source seemingly confirmed what many fans had been wondering for months: that Tom Holland and Zendaya had been dating. Considering the two other sets of Spider-Man leads (Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst and Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield) both dated, it felt like this was one relationship that was bound to happen.

"They started seeing each other while they were filming Spider-Man," the insider tells People. "They've been super careful to keep it private and out of the public eye but they've gone on vacations with each other and try and spend as much time as possible with one another."

"They're both really ambitious and they challenge each other — but, most importantly, they make each other crack up," says another insider. "They seem to have a really similar sense of humor and love joking around together."

Tom Holland and Zendaya actually took to Twitter (now X) to tackle the rumors. "Wait wait...my favorite is when it says we go on vacations together HA! I haven't been on a vacation in years!" Zendaya says, to which Tomreplies, "Does the press tour count[?]"

November 17, 2021 — Tom Holland And Zendaya Open Up About Their Relationship

In an interview with GQ, Tom Holland opened up about his relationship with Zendaya and how their relationship to fame has impacted everything. "One of the downsides of our fame is that privacy isn’t really in our control anymore, and a moment that you think is between two people that love each other very much is now a moment that is shared with the entire world,” he says of their July 2 kiss. “I’ve always been really adamant to keep my private life private, because I share so much of my life with the world anyway...We sort of felt robbed of our privacy.”

“It was quite strange and weird and confusing and invasive,” Zendaya agrees. “I think loving someone is a sacred thing and a special thing and something that you want to deal with and go through and experience and enjoy amongst the two people that love each other."

“Our relationship is something that we are incredibly protective of and we want to keep as sacred as possible," Tom later told The Hollywood Reporter. "We don’t think that we owe it to anyone, it’s our thing, and it has nothing to do with our careers.”

"I love those movies, and I love savoring those moments, so I try not to watch them as often as I would maybe like to because it’s so special.

February 15, 2023 — Tom Holland Supports Zendaya's Dune 2

The London premiere of Dune 2 was very eventful. Zendaya basically broke the internet by wearing a Mugler "Machinenmensch" robot suit (before changing into this chic black dress from Mugler by Casey Cadwallader), a certain actress spoiled her appearance in the movie by showing up to the carpet, and Tom Holland and Zendaya were spotted at the afterparty together. I love the care and attention Tom shows Zendaya (I, too, would be overwhelmed if I was surrounded by paparazzi like in this video of the couple), and I hope they got to unwind after a crazy night!

When asked who has the best "rizz" (short for charisma) in the Dune 2 cast, Zendaya immediately pivots and makes the answer more personal! "Everybody's kind of got their own [rizz]," she tells Buzzfeed. "I think someone who has beautiful charisma, not on the Dune cast, but...it works for me, is Mr. Tom Holland."

"I'm more shy and kind of quiet, so it takes a little bit more to pull me out of my shell but he's great at just talking to people and getting to know people," she continues. "He's just naturally very good at that. Or as for me, I've definitely had to pull it out of me a little bit. He's got that natural gift."

March 17, 2024 — Tom Holland And Zendaya Watch A Tennis Game

Ahead of Zendaya's spring movie Challengers (in which she plays a tennis pro-turned-coach opposite Mike Faist and Josh O'Connor), she watched the BNP Paribas Open Men's Final at Indian Wells Tennis Garden. Alongside Tom Holland and her assistant Darnell Appling, who she frequently calls her brother, Zendaya got comfy in a cream-colored tennis skirt, tank top, and zip-up hoodie ensemble. Spring really is here!! My favorite part of the afternoon is when Tom Holland and Zendaya sang along with Whitney Houston's "I Wanna Dance With Somebody."

April 9, 2024 — Zendaya Raves About Tom Holland

In her Vogue cover story for May 2024, Zendaya talks a lot about how fame has affected both her life and Tom Holland's. “His [career] changed overnight. One day you’re a kid and you’re at the pub with your friends, and then the next day you’re Spider-Man,” she says. “I definitely watched his life kind of change in front of him. But he handled it really beautifully.”

That star power was evident in 2022, when Tom Holland and Zendaya spent the afternoon at the Louvre in Paris...and almost broke the internet. “You just kind of get used to the fact that, 'Oh, I’m also one of these art pieces you’re going to take a picture of. I just gotta be totally cool with it and just live my life,'" Zendaya continues. (She also says that when the museum let them walk around after-hours, "it was like Night at the Museum.”)

This spring, Zendaya can't wait to see Tom Holland in his London production of Romeo & Juliet: "[I] could not be more proud. I’m going to try to see as many shows as I possibly can.”

April 10, 2024 — Challengers Premieres In London

Tom Holland showed up for the London premiere of Challengers, and got to support Zendaya in the sweetest way. In this video captured at the premiere, you can see Tom and Z share a hug and a kiss on the cheek during the evening. Even the smallest gesture can mean a lot during a busy night, and I love how in sync Tom Holland and Zendaya are!

The latest viral clip about Tom Holland and Zendaya also has to do with Challengers. During another Challengers press tour stop, Zendaya's overjoyed to be presented with a bouquet of gardenias. “These are my favorite flowers!” she exclaims. When asked if Tom Holland buys her flowers, she points at the camera and jokes, “I hope he's watching!”

While not every girlfriend necessarily wants a bouquet, every couple definitely has to figure out each other's love languages so they can get to know each other better — and apparently A-listers are the exact same!

August 31, 2024 — Zendaya And Tom Holland Match On A Day Date

After a summer starring in Romeo and Juliet, Tom Holland took a late-summer stroll with Zendaya in Calabasas, California.

October 15, 2024 — Tom Holland Launches A New Company With Unexpected Help From Zendaya

After going sober in 2022, Tom Holland announced on October 15 he was launching a non-alcoholic drink company called Bero. “When I got sober, I started exploring the world of non-alcoholic beers and realized there was space for me to fit in,” Tom says in an interview with Forbes. “My first year sober was really difficult, and had I had Bero, I think it would have been easier.”

“Zendaya hates beer, like, absolutely hates beer," he continues. And when she helped with the taste testing, a joke helped guide the overall brand. "She does not drink beer at all, and the first round of testing she was like, ‘Wow, these are really tasty’, and I was like, ‘Well, that's probably not a good sign.'"

And at the launch event for Bero in New York City, Tom and Zendaya wore matching shades of burgundy! Z stunned in a floor-length leather dress while Tom paired a short sleeve sweater with black trousers.

October 15, 2024 — Zendaya Reveals Why She'd Never Take A Dance Class With Tom Holland

While speaking to Teen Vogue for her partnership with On, Zendaya reveals she'd probably avoid dance classes with Tom Holland because "he's too good, it would piss me off," she jokes. "I would want to take someone who could be equally as bad as me."

"Kayaking, I would choose Tom because I think that, if I can remember correctly, with the kayak, you have to be in sync with the person," she continues. "And I think it would be hilarious because we are both very controlling and we both want to be in charge. So it would be funny to watch us be like, no, we're going to go this way. No, we're going to go that way. And I think it would be a good story after the fact."

October 31, 2024 — Tom Holland Reveals Googling Zendaya Eases His Anxiety

While appearing on an episode of Samah Dada’s On the Menu podcast, Tom Holland spoke about how protective he gets over Zendaya, which, if you ask me, is pretty clear after that viral video of her getting swarmed by paparazzi — and him physically getting in the middle.

“I’m not on socials, and I delete [the apps] when I’m not using [them],” he tells Samah. “So sometimes I — it’s more of a bit of an anxiety thing...I just give it a little Google, look [through] the news, and I’m like, ‘She’s good. We’re fine.'"

November 13, 2024 — Zendaya Reveals Working With Tom Holland Is "Like Second Nature"

In Vanity Fair's new Hollywood 2025 issue, Zendaya opened up on what it's like to work with her partner, and reveals "it’s actually strangely comfortable."

"It’s like second nature, if anything," she says. "You feel extra safe with the person you’re acting beside. I love working with him. He’s so talented, and so passionate about what he does. He always gives things one thousand percent, even if he’s absolutely worn down. I really appreciate that about him. It feels pretty normal. That’s how we met. Literally, at a chemistry read."

I'm sure that was one heck of a chemistry read!

November 24, 2024 — Tom Holland & Zendaya Have A Cozy Date Night

Tom and Zendaya went out for a pint to wrap up the weekend, heading to Foxhole to sample Bero "in the wild," according to Tom himself (via Instagram stories). And the actor ended up sharing a super cute photo of Zendaya in a red top with a gold necklace, a menu, and her cell phone covered in a grippy phone mount that a lot of TikTokers use to attach their phones to the wall. Does this mean there's a backlog of Zendaya TikToks?!

One People sourcealso reports the couple was "very relaxed and very chatty together" at Trident Booksellers & Cafe in Boston during a Friday morning breakfast. Sweet!

December 2, 2024 — Tom Holland & Zendaya Are Reportedly Ready To Settle Down

We all know that Tom and Zendaya are homebodies, and it appears they're only getting cozier the farther they get into their relationship — especially as friends like Robert Pattinson start their own families! “As Tom and Zendaya move closer to having a wedding next year, basically living like a husband and wife already, and continuing to book multiple film projects together, Rob is cheering them on,” a source tells Life & Style. "If things keep going in this direction, Rob is going to figure into their wedding as a best man or groomsman and he absolutely wants the new, little families they are starting to be close going forward."

“For Tom’s part, he’s seen up close how settling down, getting serious and having kids has changed Rob,” they continue. “Tom wants that life for himself and Zendaya, sooner rather than later.”

If Tom and Zendaya really are planning on getting married, and Robert Pattinson ends up in the wedding, I'll cry! And I just know Zendaya's wedding dress is going to be THE look of the decade.

Chick-Fil-A’s “Iconic” Valentine’s Day Heart Trays Could Be Back Sooner Than You Think

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, meaning we’re gonna be seeing a lot of heart-shaped everything. One heart-shaped item I patiently await every single year is none other than Chick-fil-A’s iconic Valentine’s Day trays – they combine my undying love for chicken nuggets with the season's cutest shape, and they’re always perfect for sharing with my besties!

Rumor has it that the Chick-fil-A heart-shaped trays will hit restaurants super soon – here’s everything you need to know about their return.

Chick-fil-A

So, exactly when do the Chick-fil-A heart-shaped trays come back? There’s no official word on the timeline for 2025, but last year, Chick-fil-A locations started rolling them out on January 29. The trays were available to order through February 24.

Based on 2024’s heart-shaped tray rollout, I expect them to launch around the last week of January – though there are rumors that some CFA’s have already started serving them. 👀

Chick-fil-A

The Chick-fil-A heart-shaped trays are typically order-able in four different varieties, and the best part is there’s something for every craving, from sweet to savory!

You can find the Valentine’s trays in 30-count nuggets, 10-count Chick-n-Minis (only during breakfast hours), 12 brownie halves, or 6 chocolate chunk cookies. I’m especially excited about the nuggets.

View this post on Instagram
A post shared by Snackolator (@snackolator)

Famed foodie Instagram account, @snackolator, recently shared the news about the Chick-fil-A heart-shaped trays with their followers, and everyone seems to be just as thrilled about their return.

“I need that 30pc ASAP!” one person said.

“I'm eating all those nuggets I'm not sharing at all,” another commented.

“As a teacher I would be getting the brownies 🫶,” one more user shared.

Chick-fil-A

The Chick-fil-A heart-shaped trays are only available “while supplies last” at certain participating locations. The price of each tray may vary based on your location.

Last year, this Los Angeles-based Parade reporter noted that the 30-count nuggets cost $18, while the 10-count Chick-n-Minis went for $12. They also shared that the 12 brownie halves sold for $12, and the 6 chocolate chunk cookies cost $9.

Um, ‘Bridgerton’ Star Phoebe Dynevor Almost Got Arrested Filming Her New Movie

Ever since Daphne Bridgerton became Duchess of Hastings (and actress Phoebe Dynevor exited the show after season 2), fans have been taking every opportunity they can to see her onscreen. And in addition to a new thriller with Zac Efron and a shark movie that sounds downright terrifying, Phoebe stars in Inheritance — a new January movie that was entirely shot on an iPhone...and that Phoebe committed a real crime for.

Here's everything you need to know about Phoebe Dynevor's new movie Inheritance.

What is the Inheritance film about?

Inheritance follows Maya, whose world gets turned upside down when she learns her dad is actually an ex-spy. But things get even crazier when she gets sucked into the middle of an international conspiracy herself. Armed with tons of questions (and a killer pair of sunglasses) Maya has to stay alive long enough to find answers.

The movie filmed all over the world, which director Neil Burger calls a "true adventure."

"Shooting around the world and taking risks to achieve the ‘you are there’ feel," he tells The Hollywood Reporter. "Phoebe delivers a phenomenal performance in the movie, and I’m looking forward to audiences seeing her as they’ve never seen her before.”

Now, those aforementioned sunglasses (which Maya steals in the movie) might only be the focus for a moment, but they were a pretty big deal IRL because Phoebe Dynevor actually stole them. “I remember feeling really nervous and afraid that they would think I was actually stealing, but at the time, we wanted real reactions from the staff. It was very scary,” she says in an interview with Entertainment Weekly.

Director Neil Burger explains the team's "contingency plans, excuses, and explanations" in case Phoebe got caught (including buying the same pair of sunglasses so they'd have a receipt). And after Phoebe knocked it out of the park, the glasses were returned, of course!

“There was a safety net that came with the camera being there because it felt like this isn’t real. We’re shooting something,” she continues. “We only had one take to get it right. I’d have to be very cognizant of whether the camera was getting it. You don’t want to have to do that twice.”
