10 Best Eco Friendly Christmas Crackers UK 2024 | Tom Smith, George Home and More

If you want your Christmas dinner to start off with a bang, this luxury party pack contains 6 eco friendly Christmas crackers that shower you in biodegradable confetti when they’re pulled.

Instead of traditional gifts, each one contains a pack of seeds. With the option of thyme, sweet basil, parsley, sage, dill or oregano what could be a better eco friendly choice than planting your own herbs? You'll even receive 12 napkins, 6 placeholders, and don’t forget about the hat, snap and joke! 

If you’re looking for a fancy Christmas cracker option to elevate your Christmas Day, these premium eco-crackers are brought to you by Tom Smith, the official supplier to the Royal family since 1906. If they’re good enough for the Queen, you can guarantee a little luxury with every snap!

Inside is a set of wooden gifts and games. Tom Smith has an exemplary track record when it comes to sustainability. Not only have they removed all unnecessary single-use plastic, but they have also partnered with the Woodland Trust to further reduce their carbon emissions. 

If you’re spending Christmas with a musical group that loves to jam, why not add to the merriment with this set of xylophone crackers? Wrapped in glitter and plastic free packaging, these crackers are fully recyclable and eco friendly too.

Rather than ending up with a bunch of little gifts you might not use, each cracker provides part of an xylophone, so you can put them together to form a complete instrument. There’s even a baton for a conductor and sheet music so you can learn a song together. Time to get jamming!

This is probably the most fun you can have with a set of Christmas crackers! Combine your gifts and compete against your family in a tabletop bowling tournament with these colourful crackers from John Lewis.

The perfect addition to any festive dinner table, these crackers are beautifully decorated with mistletoe leaves and tied up with an elegant red ribbon. A classy and high quality option if you're looking to fill your own crackers this Christmas.

These aren’t the cheapest crackers at £8 for a pack of 6, but the quality is well worth the price! Just be aware that the ribbon and snap are not recyclable, so you'll need to remove these prior to recycling.

Rather than a Christmas cracker that can only be used once, why not opt for an even more sustainable option with a reusable cracker? This fabric cracker from 2 Monkeys comes in 13 different colours and can even be embroidered with fancy gold lettering, for the ultimate personal touch! 

To use these crackers, simply fill them with eco friendly gifts of your choice and then tie it up at either end. Although better for the environment, as these are reusable crackers, they won’t have the snap inside for them to go pop as you pull them open. 

If you’re looking for something cheap and cheerful that will satisfy the whole family, this pack from George Home at Asda is only £3 for 12 crackers. That’s enough for your whole extended family! Each cracker contains a hat, motto and snap, as well as a variety of festive gifts.

Although these gifts are fun and the crackers themselves are recyclable, a lot of the gifts inside appear to be made of plastic and other non-recyclable materials. So be aware that this may not be the most eco-friendly choice.
