Step 2: Use a firm , two handed grip on your end

Step 3: When it's time to pull, make a slow steady pull rather than a fast tug

An etiquette coach has also given guidance on how to correctly time your cracker shenanigans.

According to a "social behaviour expert," Liz Brewer, crackers should be opened at the end of the main course, or after the dessert.

It's not polite to lean over guests to pull a cracker, and apparently, it's not appropriate to wear your hat away form the table.

Finally, always congratulate the victor. Don't be a sore loser- especially if you lost your end to a little one!
