The Curators Stake Their Claim For the Best British Christmas Crackers Ever Invented
To put it bluntly, most Christmas crackers are completely naff. Paper hats that barely survive five minutes, jokes that induce token groans rather than proper laughter, and plastic trinkets destined for the bin before the Christmas pud hits the table.
Yet year after year, we keep pulling them. Why? Purely out of tradition.
For a nation that prides itself on sharp, albeit dry, humour, it’s baffling that crackers have remained so mediocre for so long.
But thanks to The Curators, Christmas 2025 might finally be the year that changes.
The ever-creative snack challenger has combined the country’s love of cheese and a good chuckle to produce what could genuinely be the best British Christmas crackers of all time.
Their limited-edition table favours swap landfill fodder for Fringe-approved jokes and genuinely delicious, fridge-free cheesy snacks.
So, if you’re fed up with limp punchlines and tat-filled tubes, this could be the Christmas upgrade you didn’t know you needed.

The Curators: Reinventing Snacks (& Now Christmas Crackers)
If The Curators aren’t already on your radar, you’ve been missing out on one of the UK’s most inventive snack brands.
Founded in 2018, they’ve built their reputation by flipping the script on protein snacks – ditching sickly-sweet bars in favour of bold flavours, nostalgic crunch, and clean labels.
From Pork Puffs and biltong to Protein Chips and their cult-favourite Cheesies, every bag balances impressive macros with flavour that harks back to the best packed lunches.
So when The Curators turned their attention to a tired festive tradition, it was only a matter of time before something interesting happened.
Their original Cheesies Christmas crackers were a surprise hit. In place of miniature keyrings and recycled jokes, every pull revealed a mini bag of crunchy, baked cheese bites.
They sold out at speed, proving there was a real appetite for better festive staples.
This year, they’ve gone one step further – building what could genuinely be among the best British Christmas crackers ever to grace a dinner table.
Fringe Comedy Meets Festive Cheesiness
The standout upgrade for this year’s crackers? The jokes.
Fresh from sponsoring the legendary Edinburgh Fringe Festival with Cheesies, The Curators invited comedians to submit their best one-liners. The response was huge.
After sifting through countless submissions, six up-and-coming comedians were selected, with their jokes now printed inside each cracker.
The result is a set of Christmas crackers that actually deliver laughs – not forced smiles or ironic chortles. These are jokes designed to land, written by people who do it for a living.
Each cracker includes:
- A Fringe-approved joke from a professional comedian
- A classic blue party hat
- A 10g mini bag of Cheddar Cheesies, delivering 3.2g of protein, just 61 calories, and zero carbs or sugar
As a welcome bonus, 10% of net sales go directly to the comedians, supporting the very people supplying the festive cheer.
Puns, the nation’s favourite cheese and party hats – a strong case for the best British Christmas crackers around.
Where to Buy The Curators’ Christmas Crackers
The Curators’ wonderfully unique Christmas crackers are available through several channels, including TikTok Shop, the Fringe online store, and directly via The Curators’ website.
A box of six costs £14.99, which is undeniably pricier than supermarket staples. But when you factor in proper food, genuinely funny jokes, and less waste, it feels entirely justified.
While you’re browsing, it’s worth exploring the rest of The Curators’ range. From full-size bags of Cheesies to Pork Puffs and Protein Chips, there’s no shortage of last-minute stocking fillers for food lovers and gym-goers alike.
And if you want to save a little extra this festive season, don’t forget that code GYMFLUENCERSAGENCY takes 20% off sitewide.
