A bon bons Christmas refers to the festive tradition of using Christmas bon bons — decorative, pull-apart treats typically placed on Christmas tables, stockings, or used as gifts. These are often cylindrical, colourful wrapped items containing small gifts, sweets, jokes, or festive trinkets. Pulling a bon bon with another person is part of the fun: it snaps open with a small “pop”, revealing the contents inside.
In simple terms, Christmas bon bons are both decorative and interactive, blending holiday cheer, gifting, and table styling. They are widely popular in Australia for their versatility — from casual family dinners to formal holiday entertaining. The main reason Australians love them is their ability to combine festive décor, entertainment and gifting in a single, charming item.
Christmas bon bons have evolved far beyond the traditional paper-wrapped tubes. In Australia, popular varieties include:
Traditional cylindrical shape
Bright festive colours like red, green, gold, silver
Contain small toys, chocolates, or jokes
Premium materials, satin ribbons, or glitter finishes
High-end treats or keepsakes inside
Perfect for sophisticated table styling
Names or monograms on the wrapper
Custom fillings like favourite chocolates or trinkets
Ideal for family or corporate gifting
Recyclable paper, reusable fabric, or biodegradable glitter
Popular with environmentally conscious Australians
Characters, seasonal patterns, or pop-culture motifs
Often used in children’s Christmas parties
Bon bons range from small, candy-sized surprises to larger statement pieces that hold multiple gifts, sweets, or small Christmas-themed trinkets. Popular fillers include chocolates, lollies, jokes, confetti, mini ornaments, and tiny toys.
Selecting the right Christmas bon bons is simple if you follow a few key steps:
Table décor: Choose matching colours or luxury finishes
Stocking fillers: Opt for small, fun surprises
Gifts or party favours: Personalised or themed bon bons work best
Large gatherings may need bulk packs of classic sizes
Intimate dinners might only need a few statement bon bons per guest
Paper bon bons for casual fun
Satin or fabric-wrapped bon bons for formal settings
Eco-conscious options for sustainable gifting
Chocolates or lollies for kids and family
Small luxury items or keepsakes for adults
Confetti and jokes for entertainment
Create visual impact by layering different colours, sizes and textures on your Christmas table or mantelpiece.
