Victorian Holidays
Many holiday traditions originated over 150 years ago during the reign of Queen Victoria. In 1847 a British candy maker had the bright idea of using a small explosion to make his candies pop. His firecracker sweets were an immediate hit. Follow the step-by-step instructions to make your own Christmas cracker.
