What's inside a Christmas cracker?
It’s the question on everyone’s lips before the big pull. While the contents can vary, there are a few classic elements you can always expect.
The classic contents
The paper hat, the cheesy joke... it's all part of the fun! No Christmas dinner is complete without everyone wearing a slightly wonky tissue crown and groaning at a terrible pun.
The surprises inside
From tiny toys and puzzles to more grown-up gifts, the surprise is half the fun. Whether you find a mini screwdriver set or a magic trick, it’s all part of the tradition.
How to have a cracking good time
A great Christmas cracker is just the start of a brilliant celebration.
The big bang
The tradition of pulling crackers is a highlight of the meal. Who pulls which end? Who gets the prize? It’s a fun talking point that gets everyone involved.
