Traditional bonbons, step aside. This season, it’s all about beauty Christmas crackers that serve up goodies you ACTUALLY want!

There’s something about pulling open a cracker to reveal a treat that makes the festive season extra special. But instead of a paper hat that’s unlikely to make it through Christmas lunch, beauty crackers are filled with goodness to enjoy right through the summer break – and beyond.

From silk scrunchies to cult lip balms and skincare, these creative crackers make gorgeous gifts that, let’s face it, you’ll totally want to keep for yourself.

Where to find beauty Christmas crackers:

Unlike advent calendars, which have become a Christmas staple worldwide, beauty Christmas crackers aren’t something you’ll see in every makeup or skincare line. They’re more of a festive one-off, so you’ll need to keep your eyes peeled to find them. But that’s part of what makes them so irresistible.

Here are some suggested stores worth checking out for beauty crackers if you’re shopping online:

• MECCA
• Adore Beauty
• Ecoya
• David Jones
• Myer
