About Christmas BonBons and Crackers
No Australian Christmas lunch is complete without the cross-armed scramble, the snap, and someone groaning at the joke inside. Our bon bons and crackers range runs from family packs that keep the kids pulling all afternoon through to Christmas in July bon bons for the mid-year traditionalists.
Every bon bon and cracker in the range is built for the moment as much as the contents — crisp wraps that pull cleanly, snaps that actually work, and gifts inside that aren't an afterthought. Set them along the table decorations with candles and a centrepiece, and the whole table photographs as well as it eats.
How to Choose Your BonBons and Crackers
Choose by who's pulling
Kids' tables want novelty designs with toys inside that survive longer than the crackers do; adult dinners deserve the premium and luxury ranges with quality gifts. Match the range to the loudest puller at the table and everyone's happy.
Choose by pack size
Six-packs suit intimate lunches, twelve covers the big family table, and our catering boxes of 24 and 50 are made for extended family, work parties and events where every seat needs its own snap.
Choose by table theme
Bon bons live on the table for hours, so pick designs that sit with your Christmas tableware and centrepieces rather than fighting them. Gold and red classics, modern whites, or novelty prints — the range repeats its colourways across everything.
Bon bons or crackers?
Traditionally the same moment, slightly different styling: bon bons are the Australian classic tube, crackers the more decorative British take. Mix both along a table for texture, or pick one style and stay consistent — both pull, snap and crown with the best of them.
Bonbons vs Crackers — Quick Comparison
- Buy two per guest. One pull is a moment; two is a tradition — and someone always wants a rematch.
- Pull away from the face. The snap is gentle, but the golden rule of bon bons stands at every table.
- Keep a spare box. Grandparents pull gently, kids pull hard — spares keep the peace.
- Match the crown colours. Choose bon bons whose crowns flatter your table theme; they're worn all afternoon.
- Stage them on the table early. Bon bons double as table decor before they're pulled.
- Keep the jokes. The groans are half the fun — appoint a reader before the first snap.
Setting the Christmas Table with Bonbons
- Lay your tableware and runners first, then place one bon bon or cracker across each setting at the knife line.
- Angle each bon bon so its best face points out — they're table decoration until the moment of the pull.
- Pair them with a candle or centrepiece in a matching colour to frame the whole setting.
- When the meal reaches dessert, cross arms with your neighbours and pull — one snap per guest, all around the table.
- Unwrap, crown up, read the jokes aloud and let the arguments about whose joke was worst begin.
Caring for and Storing BonBons and Crackers
Bon bons keep beautifully between seasons when you store them flat, cool and dry — humidity quietly kills the snap, so a linen cupboard beats a garage. Keep catering boxes sealed until the day, and resist the urge to test-pull one early; the snap only gets one performance.
Christmas BonBons Safety Tips
The snap inside is designed to be loud, not forceful, but a few rules keep the tradition safe: pull away from faces, keep the small gifts away from children under three, and supervise the kids' table during the pull. Bon bons are for pulling, not for the fireplace — the paper wraps and snap strips belong in the bin afterwards, not on the table.

Frequently Asked Questions — BonBons & Crackers
What's the difference between a bon bon and a Christmas cracker?
They're cousins of the same tradition: both are pulled apart with a snap and hold a gift, paper crown and joke. Bon bons tend to be the classic wrapped tube from the Australian tradition, while crackers are the British-style version — often a touch more decorative. Both do the same job: noise, laughs and a little gift at the table.
What comes inside a standard Christmas bon bon?
Every bon bon holds the three essentials — a small gift or novelty, a paper crown and a joke or riddle. Our premium and luxury ranges upgrade the gift inside to quality items worth keeping, and our kids' designs swap in toys little ones actually want.
Are luxury bon bons worth the upgrade for adult dinners?
Absolutely — the difference is in what's inside. Standard bon bons carry a small novelty; luxury bon bons hold genuinely nice gifts, richer packaging and better crowns. If your Christmas lunch is the grown-up kind, the luxury range is worth every cent.
How many bonbons come in a standard pack?
Most of our packs hold six or twelve bon bons, which covers a typical table of two to three guests pulling two each. For big family lunches and catering, our 24 and 50-piece boxes make sure no seat misses out.
Can kids pull bon bons safely?
Yes — pulling a bon bon is a supervised Christmas tradition, and the snap is designed to be loud rather than forceful. Keep bon bons away from very young children who might put the small gifts in their mouths, and always pull away from the face.
Do bon bons expire or lose their snap over time?
Stored flat, cool and dry, bon bons keep their snap for seasons. Humidity is the enemy — if they've been in a steamy cupboard all year, the pull can go quiet. Our fresh stock snaps first time, every time.
How many bon bons should I allow per guest?
Two per guest is the generous rule of thumb — one for the ceremony, one for a second laugh. If your crowd loves the tradition, add a few extras for the kids who want to pull them all afternoon.
Can I match my bon bons and crackers to my table theme?
That's the fun part — our ranges repeat colourways and prints across the table, so your bon bons can sit beside matching tableware, centrepieces and candles without clashing. Pick a colour first, then let the rest of the table follow it.
Do you sell bon bons outside the Christmas season?
We do — Christmas in July celebrations call for the full bon bon treatment, and our Christmas in July bon bons keep the tradition alive mid-year. Check the Christmas in July range for what's in season.
