A traditional Christmas cracker is a cardboard tube wrapped in brightly coloured paper and twisted at both ends, invented by London confectioner Tom Smith in the 1840s-1850s. When pulled apart by two people, it makes a mild bang produced by friction on a chemically impregnated card strip. Inside, you’ll typically find a paper crown, a small toy or trinket, and a joke or motto. They’re pulled at Christmas dinner as part of British festive tradition.
In England, they’re simply called “Christmas crackers” or just “crackers” during the festive season. They were initially nicknamed ‘bon bon’ after the French invention, then ‘cosaques’ after Cossack soldiers, but the onomatopoeic “cracker” soon became the commonly used name. The term comes from the distinctive “crack” sound they make when pulled.
Christmas crackers symbolise festive togetherness and celebration, with the paper crowns linking back to ancient Roman Saturnalia celebrations. The crowns are thought to symbolise the crowns worn by the Wise Men. Originally containing love poems for Victorian sweethearts, they evolved into a tradition that brings families together through the shared ritual of pulling, wearing silly hats, and sharing jokes—embodying the playful, communal spirit of British Christmas celebrations.
In the UK, “cracker” has several meanings. Besides Christmas crackers, it’s British slang for something excellent (“She’s a cracker”) or someone/something of notable qualities. It also refers to the thin, flat biscuit eaten with cheese. The word “crackers” means silly, stupid, or slightly mad in British slang. Context determines which meaning applies—at Christmas, it’s the festive tube; at other times, it could be a compliment, a savoury biscuit, or playful slang.
