A Wizard Cracker[1] (also known as a Wizarding Cracker)[2] is a magical kind of Christmas cracker that wizards often gift to each other around Christmas, that holds a small gift inside. Unlike Muggle crackers, Wizard Crackers go off with a bang as loud as a cannon blast, enveloping everyone nearby in a cloud of blue smoke, rather than just a small pop. The gifts in comparison to the Muggle counterpart are often far more unique or genuine in quality, with the hats being as durable as the real thing, and the gifts being rather peculiar.[3]
One brand of wizard crackers is Cribbages Wizarding Crackers.[2]
