About Us

How It All Began

Growing up with my brother and sister in Canada, our home was always a place where friends gathered. Our parents kept the front door open, and the house was often full of laughter, games, and celebrations. That sense of fun and connection has stayed with me ever since.

Why Crack Me Up Christmas™

These days, life moves fast. Everyone’s busy, often caught up on their phones, and real moments together can feel rushed or hard to create. I’ve always loved hosting parties and putting thought into making them special, but I know not everyone has the time or energy to plan things out.

That’s how Crack Me Up Christmas™ was born. For the past two Christmases, I made my own homemade version of this game for friends and family. Each time, it turned into a night full of fun and unforgettable memories.

Now this little tradition has grown into something bigger: a ready-to-go set of crackers that makes it easy to celebrate, connect, and enjoy time with the people who matter most.

Who We Are Today

It’s essentially just me behind this project, with my family and close friends as my sounding board and cheerleaders. Together, we’ve tested, tweaked, and poured love into every detail.

We’re starting small, launching Crack Me Up Christmas™ as a pilot here in Switzerland, where I am now living. If it brings as much joy to your gatherings as it has to ours, we hope to expand across Europe next year.

From Our Table to Yours

At the heart of it, this business is about giving people a reason to put down their phones… at least until it’s time to pick them up and record the hilarious moments that unfold.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for supporting this little dream.
