Best Ideas for Your Friendsmas: Make It Epic with Rude Christmas Crackers

What Is Friendsmas and Why Celebrate It?

Friendsmas has quickly become one of the most exciting Christmas traditions. Instead of being all about family, it’s about gathering your chosen family - your friends - and celebrating the festive season in your own way. Whether you throw a dinner party, organise a pub night, or host a cosy night in, Friendsmas is all about laughter, fun, and a little mischief.

One of the easiest ways to make your party stand out is by adding a cheeky twist - and that’s where rude Christmas crackers from Bad Crackers come in. Packed with hilarious rude jokes, they’re the perfect centrepiece for an unforgettable Friendsmas celebration.

In this guide, we’ll share the best Friendsmas ideas - from themes and food to games and party favours - and explain how to make rude crackers the star of the night.

1. Choose a Theme to Set the Mood

A great party starts with a theme, and Friendsmas is no different. Here are a few ideas:

• Ugly Christmas Jumpers - Everyone shows up in the tackiest, most outrageous jumper they can find. Extra points for flashing lights or sequins.
• Pyjama Party - Keep it cosy with festive PJs, fluffy socks, and hot chocolate (spiked, if you like!)
• Black Tie - Dress up in black-tie chic for a fancier Friendsmas.
• Christmas Costumes - play dress up, go as Scrooge, The Grinch, Father Christmas, Mrs Claus, a Christmas tree… there’s almost too many good option

2. Decorate your Table

Your decorations should match the vibe - from fairy lights and garlands to a table decked out with funny Christmas crackers as the centrepiece.

Top tip: Always set your table early in the day. Even if you’re running late with everything else, having the table set when people arrive gives the illusion that you’re on time and ready for your guests! 

If you’re going classy: have candelabras down the centre of the table and wrap ivy around them, add some red berries into the ivy too. Have candles of different sizes, gold table mats and wine glasses. Place a Bad Cracker on each table setting to add to the theme! 

If you’re going tacky: go all out tacky, think different colour candles with tinsel wrapped around them, coloured tablemats and mix and match glasses. Add Bad Crackers all over the table, along with some Christmas table confetti!

3. Plan Activities & Party Games

No Friendsmas is complete without games. Here are some sure-fire winners:

• Secret Santa with a Twist - Instead of serious gifts, make it cheeky or naughty. Budget-friendly and guaranteed laughs.
• Christmas Trivia (Adult Edition) - Put a spin on classic quiz questions with cheeky categories.
• Drinking Games - “Never Have I Ever” or “Ring of Fire” with festive rules can get everyone in a merry mood.
  

And of course - the best activity of all - pulling your Bad Crackers. The rude cracker jokes will set the tone for the night, sparking conversations and laughter around the table.

4. Serve Festive Food & Drinks

Food and drink are at the heart of Friendsmas. Here are some easy ideas:

• Festive Snacks - Go for classic crowd-pleasers like sausage rolls, pigs in blankets, cheesy nibbles, crisps, and dips.
• Sharing Boards - A grazing platter always looks impressive with minimal effort, and you can do the whole thing before your guests arrive. Stack it high with cured meats, cheeses, crackers (the edible kind!), olives, grapes, chutneys, and festive treats like mince pies or gingerbread.
• Signature Cocktails & Mulled Wine - Give your Friendsmas its own cocktail menu. Mix up cheeky creations like “The Naughty Elf” (cranberry vodka spritz) or “Santa’s Hangover Cure” (Baileys hot chocolate with a shot of espresso). Name them something funny and make them part of the theme.
• Mocktails - Not everyone drinks alcohol, so it’s a good idea to include festive non-alcoholic options. Mulled apple juice, virgin mojitos, or cranberry spritzers keep everyone included and in the spirit.
• The Roast Dinner Option - If you want to go all out, nothing says Christmas like a roast. Turkey, stuffing, roast potatoes, and veg make it feel extra festive. To keep it stress-free, make it a potluck: ask each guest to bring a side dish, while you handle the main event. For vegetarians or vegans, make a nut roast.
  
  

The trick is balance - have enough hearty bites to keep everyone full, but don’t overcomplicate things. Friendsmas is about laughter, games, and cheeky surprises (like cracking open your funny Christmas crackers), not slaving over the oven all night.

5. Make Rude Christmas Crackers the Star

This is where the magic happens. Surprise your guests with Bad Crackers! Crackers are a staple for Christmas, but traditional ones often fall flat. Weak jokes, flimsy hats, and forgettable prizes.

Instead, imagine pulling a cracker and bursting out laughing at a naughty joke. Especially if you aren’t expecting it. That’s exactly what Bad Crackers deliver - funny, rude, and downright cheeky Christmas crackers designed for adults who want more from their celebrations.

Here’s why they’re perfect for Friendsmas:

• Unique designs - Sleek, bold packaging that looks amazing on the table.
• Cheeky jokes - Naughty gags that get everyone laughing.
• Memorable moments - Guests won’t stop talking about them long after the party.

Place one at each seat or pile them in the middle for a “cracker pulling contest”. Either way, they’ll be the highlight of your Friendsmas night.

6. Add Small Gifts & Favours

Want to go the extra mile? Pair your crackers with small adult-friendly favours. Some ideas include:

• Mini bottles of festive liqueur
• Scratch cards
• Naughty toys (you know the ones we mean…)
  

It’s a thoughtful way to send your friends home with more than just a laugh.
