Christmas crackers are a tradeable holiday item that can be obtained by completing one of the Christmas holiday events that occur once per year. Previously, they were obtained by using the clues given by Jagex through various means (forums, Twitter, etc) and giving a specific set of items to an NPC. This event started on 1 September 2013 and lasted until 7 September, with one clue being shown every day. Players could only receive a Christmas cracker for the clue given that day. If a player participated for all 7 days, they would have received 7 crackers. If a player tried to do a clue from a previous day, the specified NPC would not accept the items.
Crackers can be pulled by using them on another player. If an Iron Man attempts to open a cracker it will display the message "You are an Iron Man. You stand alone." If a Group Iron Man attempts to open a cracker with someone outside of their group, it will display the message "[username] is not in your group.", with [username] being replaced by the username of the person they tried to use it on. However, they can open crackers with members of their group.

Trivia[edit | edit source]
- Christmas crackers are infamous in RuneScape history, dating back to RuneScape Classic when they were first introduced to the game during the 2001 Christmas Event. Due to the fact this was the only time a supply of them was added to the game, they quickly became rare items worth hundreds of thousands to millions of gold in the years to come. While Christmas crackers varied wildly in perceived value, raising or dropping by millions of gold in just a few days' time, they typically went for substantially more than any individual partyhat in RuneScape 2 due to being rare items in and of themselves and also having the possibility of containing one of the more desired hats.
