Hey Poptropicans! Tune in for news of a name drop, fan art features, and a birthday mention. Let’s pop right in!
The well-known women’s media brand Cosmopolitan published an article about actress Hailee Steinfeld back in November that just made it into Poptropica’s new YouTube short. Turns out the writer’s a veteran!

Although Steinfeld’s movies and Cosmo aren’t written for kids, we can all appreciate the Pop name drop: “At 14, she was collecting an Oscar nomination, while the rest of us were, IDK, playing Poptropica.”
Speaking of features, there’s more on the Pop Creators’ Blog! A recent post spotlights fan art, including some we’ve shared on the PHB via Pop’s IG stories. Plus, here’s one from Twitter by @XMzhier:
Also on the Creators’ Blog is a post from guest writer Young Rider. They write about visiting the Baron (though she’s gone by the time this post comes up), their mess of a clubhouse, and the upcoming birthday of Poptropica founder Jeff Kinney on February 19. Happy 51st, Jeff!


That’s a wrap for this post. Pop on, Poptropicans!
