Description
Christmas crackers have been a holiday tradition since Victorian England, when hosts delighted guests with small "bon-bons" that snapped open to reveal little gifts. This set carries on that festive heritage with a playful topiary design—cone-shaped crackers that stand upright like miniature trees. Red bows, striped paper, and gilded stars add to the charm. Inside, each cracker holds the familiar trio: a paper crown, a seasonal joke or conversation starter, and a small surprise gift.
