No festive dinner table is complete without a brightly coloured Christmas cracker adorning each place setting! And while we here at Craft Gin Club love the fun, traditional crackers for the cheesy jokes and ridiculous paper hats, sometimes the Big Day - whether it’s Christmas Day, New Year’s Eve, or whenever you’re getting the whole tribe of loved ones over for a feast - calls for something a little bit special!
Luckily, there are a whole host of gorgeous crackers offering treats inside that are considerably more pleasurable than a neon green miniature plastic comb (and better for the planet too, because you’ll actually, you know, use them!).
Whether you want to surprise your guests with some delicious sweets, a few luxurious fragrances, get the laughs going with some fun Christmas party games or - best of all - a perfect serve of craft gin with beautifully paired artisan tonic, we’ve chosen 20 of the best Christmas crackers for your table!

New and better than ever for 2022!
“The Craft Gin Club’s luxe selection of boozy crackers (resplendent in festive, gin-based livery and gold lamé ribbons) contain a 50ml gin sample,150ml tin of tonic water, a joke and ubiquitous paper party hat. Merchant’s Hearts range of gin-enhancing tonic water is the mixer of choice, which pairs with the chosen gins to perfection. We were more than happy to discover that Sibling Distillery’s negroni-inspired gin makes an excellent, spicy G&T, while the old school dandelion and burdock flavour combo in the Burleigh signature gin works wonders with The Merchant’s heart light tonic.
