Eco-friendly Christmas crackers for 2021

Without further ado, here are our favourite eco-friendly, reusable and plastic-free Christmas crackers for 2021.

RSBP – plastic-free and recycled Christmas crackers

For a simple alternative to the traditional plastic-filled crackers, these fully recycled (and recyclable) Christmas crackers from the RSBP come in a range of designs, in plastic-free packaging and all profits go back into the charity.

Eco-friendly Christmas cracker kits from The Conscious Party Box

You’ll notice we’re fans of The Conscious Party Box here. They’ve previously been mentioned in our posts about plastic-free party bags, alternative advent calendars and eco-friendly Halloween ideas. Their DIY reindeer crackers are another great addition to their plastic-free party offering and we love the fact they double as a craft activity with the kids too.

Reusable pullable Christmas crackers from Eco Able

Eco Able offers a lovely selection of reusable fabric Christmas crackers to choose from.

We love these because you can choose which gifts to put inside them. No more inappropriate bottle openers for your 5-year-old!

Hand-filled linen Christmas crackers

If you read our Christmas with Impact post, then you might remember these. I’ve still not quite got around to it, but I’ll be making my own Christmas crackers this year using our linen table napkins and cut-up kitchen roll tubes. I love the fact that these crackers can be filled according to the taste and personality of each person at the table. They cut down on plastic waste and also double as our napkins for dinner. No more tiny magnifying glasses littering the floor on Christmas afternoon!

If you’d like to have a go at making these yourself (most materials can be found around the house and in your recycling box) then try this video for a step-by-step guide.
