The origins of the Christmas cracker dates back to 1847 when Tom Smith, a successful baker of sweets and designer of wedding cake ornaments was visiting Paris in 1840 in search of new ideas for his bakery. While in Paris he discovered the 'bon bon' - a sugared almond wrapped in a twist of tissue paper.
