Following on from jcc481’s suggestion, I am going to compile jokes from this year’s bonbons (or Christmas crackers) 🙂
Christmas bonbons, complete with paper hat and a sheet of jokes…
I don’t promise all will be funny – but it’s a sure bet some will make you groan! However, it will be fun and all will be clean and child-friendly. So here goes…

Your turn…
There’s only so many bonbons I come across so to make a large collection of jokes, I need help! I’d love you to add any other bonbon jokes you’ve come across this year to the list by putting them in the comments below.
PLEASE make sure only family friendly jokes are included…
Haha, they’re funny. I like this one: What do you call a penguin in the Sahara Desert?
Lost
I like that one, too, Matt 🙂 It is lost indeed!
Haha that is my favorite one also! I also like the tomato one. I will be using these in my near future! Great list!
It’s really so funny…we love Christmas jokes too
Glad you enjoyed them, FunnyGuy.
Good laugh y’all, i have a little one asking: How can a Leopard change its spot?
By moving.
I read that out to my children, and they gave a adorable chortle of laughter. Thanks for sharing. I wonder what the crackers of this year will bring?
That is clever and funny, Nikki 🙂
Thanks for reading my suggestion! There is a great list of cracker jokes here: http://www.whychristmas.com/fun/cracker_jokes.shtml, there are guaranteed to make your groan! I wonder what jokes I might get with the crackers this year?! They are a frequent source of amusement for the family.

I’ve noticed this year that a number of bonbons have two jokes and a piece of trivia. I’ll check out that link, too!
These are very sweet and funny jokes to share with the family on Christmas. I can imagine the kids just giggle at each joke that you tell as they hang out with the family.
It is fun around the Christmas table, everyone groans or laughs, and it basically sets everyone into a good mood for the meal ahead.
We don’t really get a lot of bonbons where I live if any, but these are some adorable little jokes! I love the one about the blushing tomato. I may use that one with my siblings.
Bonbons are definitely part of Aussie Christmas celebrations. You usually get a silly paper hat to wear (or argue about wearing!), a joke or two and usually something else (a plastic toy most of the time, but some classier bonbons have more useful tokens in them).
Many of the jokes are shared with a groan, but they are fun!
To be honest, I get a little jealous of bon bon jokes. We don’t really have alot of them around here, if at all, so I get to miss out on a great many jokes each year..and I love dry jokes! Some are always so cute.
Maybe you could make your own bonbons for next Christmas Sorrowscal? Even if you can’t buy the central strip to get the bang (I know various crafty type shops in Australia sell them), you could still make the bonbons or find a new way to present the jokes and gimmicks in the bonbons.
But in the meantime, you can enjoy the bonbon jokes here – I’ll share them again next year!
I never knew these were called bonbons in Australia… In Canada we call them Christmas crackers! They essentially appear to be the same thing as what we have here, with paper crowns, jokes, and usually a little present. It’s interesting to know how it differs across cultures.
It does sound like exactly the same thing, Syrkt – and I do recognise the name of crackers for them. I do enjoy learning about different Christmas traditions and celebrations 🙂
Christmas lunch wouldn’t be complete without the chorus of groans that corny cracker jokes always provoke.
I couldn’t agree more, Nagesh 🙂
