Christmas Crackers

Make traditional Christmas Crackers a part of your special holiday celebrations. They bring a decoration, a game, and a present all in one little festive package. All of your holiday guests can break open some fun at your next Christmas celebration when you pick up a couple boxes of genuine Christmas Crackers.

Christmas Crackers are a traditional holiday treat invented by Tom Smith, a baker and confectioner maker in London, England in the mid-1800’s. They originally began as a unique way to package a sugary treat for his customers. Eventually they became an important part of British Christmas tradition during Victorian times. Smith continued to improve his design and added more fun aspects to his invention. As a result, the Christmas Cracker has since evolved into a package for holding fabulous Christmas goodies, including: a brightly-colored tissue crown, a small toy or game, and a goofy riddle or corny joke. The popularity of the Christmas Cracker has now expanded to include many other countries, including the United States and Canada. Christmas Crackers

The modern Christmas Crackers are made from a thin tube of cardboard, covered in a bright festive wrapping paper. To reach the fun found inside Christmas Crackers: grab a friend, each take an end, tug to open the tube and create a fun “snapping” sound. The snap in a Christmas Cracker is made by two thin strips of cardboard with a dab of aggregate material on one end of each piece. When you pull on each end, the friction created by the tugging action causes the aggregate-treated pieces to rub together and make a small but surprising snapping sound.
