🎁 London – Christmas Crackers

Londoners love a good Christmas cracker - those colorful, festive tubes that "pop" when pulled, revealing a tiny toy, a paper crown, and a cheesy joke.

Crackers are a staple at holiday dinners, adding a playful sparkle to any festive feast. It's a simple tradition, but one that never fails to make the season feel extra fun.

Yes, you read that right. In Barcelona, the quirky Caga Tió tradition involves a little wooden log that "poops" out candy and treats when children beat it with sticks - while singing a special song, of course!

It's a playful, whimsical custom that captures the joy and humor of Catalan Christmas celebrations.
