Extra Large & Jumbo Christmas Crackers
Bigger Gifts, Bigger Surprises
Christmas crackers don't have to be limited to tiny novelty gifts. If you want to make your Christmas table a little more memorable, our Extra Large crackers and Jumbo Christmas crackers give you considerably more room to create something special.
Unlike traditional crackers, these oversized crackers are designed to hold larger gifts, several smaller presents or a personalised collection of surprises for one person. They can even be used as an imaginative alternative to conventional gift boxes.
Why Choose an Extra Large or Jumbo Christmas Cracker?
Sometimes you have the perfect Christmas gift in mind, but there's simply no way it's going to fit inside a standard cracker. Try as you might! Believe us, you are not alone with trying to "get a quart into a pint pot"!
That's where a bigger cracker comes in.
Our Extra Large Christmas crackers measure 41cm when assembled, with a 16.8cm × 8cm barrel, while our Jumbo Christmas crackers measure 50cm, with a generous 20.4cm × 9cm barrel. That extra space gives you much more freedom when choosing what goes inside.
You could create a cracker containing:
- A larger individual gift
- Several smaller presents
- Beauty or wellbeing gifts
- Toys, games and stationery
- Christmas treats and gourmet surprises
- Decorations and ornaments
- A mixture of useful, funny and personal gifts
The important thing is to check the dimensions of your chosen gifts against the cracker barrel before you start.
More Than Just a Christmas Cracker
These aren't disposable crackers that are pulled apart and thrown away after Christmas dinner.
Our Extra Large and Jumbo crackers are reusable keepsake crackers. Their two-part construction means they can be carefully slid open, allowing the cracker itself to remain intact.
Once the surprises have been discovered, the cracker can be kept, refilled and reused for another celebration.
That makes the cracker part of the gift too.
Extra Large or Jumbo – Which Should You Choose?
The choice really comes down to the size and number of gifts you want to include.
Choose Extra Large crackers if you want noticeably more room than a traditional cracker while keeping the overall cracker a little more compact.
Choose Jumbo crackers if you want to make a real statement or have a particularly substantial gift, or several gifts, to fit inside.
A simple tip: choose your gifts first, measure their widest points and then compare those measurements with the cracker barrel.
And please remember – a square peg does not fit in a round hole!
Make It Personal
One of the best things about making your own larger Christmas crackers is that you aren't restricted to the same filler for everyone.
You can create a completely different cracker for each person around the table.
For children, that might mean toys, games, stationery, treats and creative surprises. For adults, you could include beauty gifts, accessories, gourmet treats, hobbies or something more substantial.
The result is a Christmas cracker that feels genuinely chosen for the person receiving it.
A Cracker Worth Keeping
Extra Large and Jumbo Christmas crackers combine the fun and anticipation of a traditional Christmas cracker with the flexibility of a larger gift container.
You get more space, more surprises and more possibilities – without sacrificing the excitement of discovering what's inside.
And because they're keepsake crackers, the experience doesn't have to end when Christmas dinner does.
Bigger crackers. Bigger surprises. More personal gifts. And a cracker worth keeping.
