Party crackers, sometimes called Christmas poppers or table crackers, are the piece of the table setting that turns dinner into an event. Each one is pulled apart between two guests, snaps open, and gives up a paper crown and a small surprise. Set one at every place and the whole table is doing the same thing at the same moment.
Our Christmas crackers run from traditional plaid and velvet bow designs to nutcracker, gingerbread, and reindeer prints, alongside collaborations that suit a more considered holiday table. Thanksgiving crackers carry turkey and wheat motifs for a harvest setting, and we stock floral and gingham designs for Easter, champagne bottles for New Year's Eve, and firecracker prints for the fourth of July.
Buying for a dinner? Count one per seat, since a cracker needs two hands to open but belongs to one place setting. Most designs come six or eight to a box, so a table of ten needs two.
