Christmas is a time for friends, family, and Christmas traditions! Christmas bonbons are a great addition to the Christmas decor and can keep the conversation going longer at the table.
The tradition of cracking open a box of Christmas crackers has been around since the 1800s. The idea was first introduced by an Englishman named Tom Smith, who designed the first Christmas cracker in 1847.
The Victorian Christmas crackers were simply a cardboard tube with a sugary, cinnamon-based filling to an elaborate and colorful German gingerbread house.
They are traditionally used as something to pull at the end of the meal and eat with friends or family members.
Today a typical Christmas cracker contains a small toy or puzzle, which is hidden inside a paper hat or crown. There are many different types of Christmas crackers available today, with a wide variety of uses.
