Merry record breaking: 6 Christmas world records YOU can break this holiday season!
Every Christmas is magical, but if you want to make this one truly unforgettable – and leave all your friends speechless with admiration on the first day back at school – then you’ll need to make it a record-breaking one!
Here at GWR we're committed to making record breaking accessible to everyone, regardless of age. That’s why we’ve created record titles exclusively for people under 16… no grown-ups allowed!
And this holiday season, we have 6 festive record titles that are up for grabs!
So challenge your friends, siblings or cousins to join you – or compete against you – and let’s see whether you’ll enter the new year as a record holder, or end up making it your New Year’s resolution instead.
Good luck!
Most Christmas crackers pulled in 1 minute by a team of 2
Are Christmas crackers a tradition in your home?
If you don’t know what they are, these are traditionally pulled by 2 people, and the person who ends up with the larger end of the cracker gets to keep the toys that come out of it!
For this record, however, you’re not competing against each other, but unite forces to pull as many crackers as physically possible in just 60 seconds!
Think you’ve got the strength and speed to take on the challenge?
