I was not aware of New Year's Eve party crackers until I became an adult, but they are just as fun for me as they are for kids.

What is the history behind Party Crackers?

New Year's Eve crackers are the same as Christmas crackers. The tradition of Christmas crackers began in the United Kingdom around the mid-1840s by a man named Tom Smith. His first tactic was to insert love messages into the wrappers, similar to fortune cookies.


More modern Christmas crackers are a festive table decoration that makes a popping sound when opened. This is why they make such great ideas for New Year's too.


A cracker consists of segmented tubes typically wrapped in brightly decorated paper. The crackers are pulled apart by two people, and the person who has the larger portion keeps the goodies. Although oftentimes now, everyone gets a cracker to enjoy.
