Bunzl Catering Supplies has launched its Christmas Collection brochure for 2026, helping hospitality operators get ahead of the festive season with a wide choice of crackers, tableware and accessories designed for every style of Christmas celebration.

Christmas is one of the busiest and most important trading periods of the year for restaurants, pubs, bars, hotels, contract caterers, leisure venues and public sector operators. With festive bookings, private parties, seasonal menus and high-volume dining occasions all placing extra pressure on teams, Bunzl Catering Supplies is already talking to customers now to help ensure they have everything planned and ready well ahead of the season.

The 2026 collection features an extensive range of Christmas crackers in a variety of sizes, designs and colours, giving operators the flexibility to choose products that suit different dining occasions and areas within their venue. From fun, family-friendly 9-inch designs for casual festive dining to premium 12-inch and 14-inch options for banquets, private events and more elevated table settings, the range has been curated to help create the right atmosphere for every celebration.

New cracker designs for 2026 include Snowman, Santa and Penguin in the 9-inch range, alongside Gold Reindeer on Silver and Silver Reindeer on Gold in the 11-inch collection. Operators can also choose from festive favourites such as Tree & Candy Cane, Holly Berry, Classic Wreath, Festive Flowers, Merry & Bright, Aspen, Tis The Season and Midnight Sparkle, with options to suit both traditional and contemporary Christmas themes.

To make festive planning easier, the brochure also highlights tableware options that coordinate with selected cracker designs. Customers can match crackers with complementary napkins, slip covers, table covers, banquet rolls and table runners in popular Christmas colourways including red, green, gold, silver, cream and white. These combinations make it simple to create cohesive table settings across different dining spaces, from relaxed lunchtime service to formal Christmas parties and large-scale festive events.

Many crackers in the collection now include paper fun activity cards, replacing traditional novelty contents with simple, engaging festive entertainment. Activities include Hum That Tune, riddles, true or false questions and charades, helping to bring extra interaction and enjoyment to Christmas tables. Made from paper, the activity cards are recyclable after use, offering a practical and engaging option for operators looking to add fun to the festive dining experience.

By encouraging customers to plan early, Bunzl Catering Supplies is helping hospitality operators secure the products they need, coordinate their festive table settings and approach the Christmas season with confidence. Customers are encouraged to speak to their Bunzl Catering Supplies contact now to explore the Christmas Collection 2026 and start planning for the festive season.
