Shoppers across the UK are racing to get their hands on a colossal Christmas cracker from Home Bargains, with online stock already snapped up due to soaring demand. The budget retailer's oversized festive novelty, priced at £19.99, is packed with a staggering 2kg of popular chocolates and sweets, making it a sought-after centrepiece or gift.
A Festive Sensation Sells Out
The giant cracker is no longer available for home delivery via the Home Bargains website, indicating it is selling out fast. As of 3rd December 2025, customers hoping to purchase one must visit physical stores to check for remaining stock. The retailer describes the product as a "show-stopping" item, perfect for the festive table or as a family gift, filled with a "generous selection of all-time favourite sweets."
Shoppers React to the 'Huge' Find
The cracker's impressive size has sparked excitement on social media, with buyers sharing their amazement. TikTok user Mimi (@Allaboutmimi00) showcased the product, revealing it was nearly as large as three standard selection boxes. Reactions in the comments ranged from "Wow! This is actually so good for Christmas!" to humorous admissions like, "Trust me I would eat it in one sitting." The clear window in the cracker allows customers to see treats inside, which include Oreos, Cadbury Snack, and Time Out bars.
Alternative Giant Crackers and Health Note
For those unable to find the Home Bargains version, alternatives exist. Costco offers a 2.4kg cracker for £29.89, containing a mix of sweets like Rowntrees Randoms and chocolates including Kit-Kat and Aero. In related Home Bargains news, shoppers are also seeking a large 2.1kg box of Cadbury Eclairs for £18, following their reported removal from some Heroes tubs this Christmas.
While these giant treats are popular, it is important to note that consuming excessive amounts of chocolate and sweets can impact health, potentially leading to weight gain, dental issues, and increased risk of conditions like type 2 diabetes due to high sugar and fat content.
