The Unique Christmas Crackers Bringing Fringe Comedy and Crunch to Your Table
Christmas crackers have long felt like they’re due a refresh. Recycled jokes, useless trinkets, and paper-thin hats that rip before they even reach your head only add to the pile of rubbish you end up hauling out on Boxing Day.
The only reason many of us still buy them? The tradition. Christmas just isn’t the same without that satisfying snap, or accusing your loved ones of cheating because their hand crept a little too far over the fold.
If the Christmas table didn’t feel fully set without crackers, let’s be honest: we’d have binned them off years ago.
It’s time we asked a beloved festive custom to finally start pulling its weight — and The Curators have just the tonic.
Returning for a second year running, the limited-edition Cheesies Christmas Crackers are stuffed with Fringe-worthy jokes, delicious cheese snacks, and, of course, the customary hat.
Here’s why these unique Christmas crackers are a must-have, plus how to save 20% with code GYMFLUENCERSAGENCY.
Introducing The Curators
If you’ve not yet heard of The Curators, where have you been? The super-savoury snack brand has built a reputation for thinking outside the box.
Launched in 2018 to bring some much-needed flavour to the dry, sweetener-filled world of protein snacking, The Curators now boasts a range of macro-boosted crisps, pork puffs, cheese bites, and biltong — all nostalgic, moreish, and properly satisfying.
Founded by two foodies, every bite delivers on its clean-label, high-protein promise, making lunchboxes, snack breaks, and mid-afternoon cupboard raids significantly more enjoyable.
With protein elevated, The Curators decided to apply that same originality to festive favourites.
Cheesies Christmas Crackers debuted in 2024, giving a whole new meaning to cheese and crackers. Rather than a flimsy keyring, each cracker was filled with a bag of Cheesies — 100% cheese, baked until golden and crunchy.
They were an instant sell-out, and the appetite for their unique Christmas crackers was clear. But never a brand to rest on its laurels, The Curators have upgraded another major element for 2025: the jokes.
The Cheesiest Jokes Yet
Fresh from a summer of laughs as the official snack of the Edinburgh Fringe comedy festival, the team have continued their partnership with a collaboration worthy of maxing out the clap-o-meter.
During the festival, The Curators ran a competition inviting Fringe artists to submit their best one-liners for the chance to feature in Cheesies’ unique Christmas crackers.
The competition was fierce, but The Curators whittled it down to a handful of “incredibly gouda” jokes from six of the funniest comedians.
Instead of the usual terrible puns about snowmen getting brain freeze, every cracker contains some incredibly immature Cheddar humour courtesy of actual comics.
Alongside the jokes, you’ll find a classic blue party hat and a 10g mini bag of Cheddar Cheesies, packing 3.2g of natural protein, just 61 calories, and absolutely no carbs or sugar.
Think of it as the cheese board before the cheese board. Better still, 10% of net sales go directly to the Fringe comedians behind the laughs.
So while you’re surprising the family with unique Christmas crackers, you’ll also be supporting the artists spreading a little extra festive cheer.
