11 beauty Christmas crackers with gifts that trump a novelty keychain
The dad jokes and paper hats have been replaced too
The festive season is underway, which means our calendars will be packed with work Christmas shindigs, family Christmas lunches, plus ‘friendsmas’ and the like over the next few weeks. No doubt, with all the impending festivities, we expect we’ll find ourselves on one end or the other of a Christmas cracker soon enough.
However, it’s safe to say after years of ripping open the pyrotechnic packaging of Christmas crackers, we’ve come to realise that the startling ‘bang’ sound they make is far more exciting than whatever lies inside.
Call us what you like, but we’ve had enough of novelty keychains, mini packs of playing cards and money clips. We don’t have the patience to read aloud another awfully written dad joke or deflate our blow dry with a paper crown hat.
If, like us, you’re keen to revolt against the mediocrity of Christmas crackers, we have the perfect solution. Introducing: Beauty Christmas crackers; they have the same festive packaging as traditional bon bons but inside you’ll find all manner of beauty goodies instead of throwaway plastic nonsense.
Keep scrolling to discover 11 beauty Christmas crackers you’ll actually enjoy ripping open this festive season.
There’s nothing better than the beautification of Christmas goodies, which is why we love these beauty advent calendars so much.

Since then, her keen interest in fashion and beauty has landed her gigs as a Digital Content Producer and Beauty Editor with titles like Girlfriend, Refinery29, BEAUTYcrew and beautyheaven. She loves the way seemingly innocuous topics like skin care and style have the ability to put a smile on people’s faces or make them think about themselves a little differently. A big believer in self love and experimentation, Briar has made a point of becoming the Australian beauty industry’s unofficial guinea pig for unusual treatments and daring hair trends. When she’s not testing out the latest beauty launches, Briar is big on broadening her horizons, mostly in the form of food but she’s also partial to travelling to new destinations both near and far (and of course, allocating an extra bag to bring their best beauty offerings home with her).
