Description
Pull on this Christmas tree cracker and bang—out spills a paper crown, a joke, and a musical kazoo. These cone-shaped crackers can stand as place settings at the dinner table for a fun way to end a joyful holiday celebration.
Party favors, like this set of 8 Christmas crackers with kazoos, are in the collections of the National Museum of American History, though they're more common as part of holiday celebrations in the United Kingdom. The tradition of Christmas crackers for adults and kids alike was started in the 1840s by Tom Smith, a popular candy maker in London.
