Across the world Christmas decorations are going up, present deliveries are coming in and plans are being made. People across the world are approaching the last sprint at work before they can begin to wind down for the holiday season. We’re all looking forward to the same things – a roaring fireplace, a mince pie or two and a good Christmas cracker.
Christmas cracker jokes are one of those things that we all love to hate. Though many people protest how horrendous these jokes can be, we all secretly love rallying against the cringeworthy ones and chuckling over the rare, cleverly written pun which will make you stop and smile.
By and large Christmas cracker jokes are designed to appeal to a wide audience – if a joke goes over someone’s head they tend to feel left out or disappointed, which is the last thing you want at the Christmas dinner table. As a result, every year we tend to see the same style of jokes popping up each year. We’ve split these jokes into five different categories that we see year on year, and picked up to five jokes that we either expect to see as we start digging into a mountain of festive food.
