John Lewis and Waitrose have said they will stop putting plastic toys inside Christmas crackers.
The John Lewis Partnership, which operates both retailers, made the decision as part of plans to cut down on single-use plastic.
The usual Christmas cracker fillers such as yo-yos, rings and mini combs will be replaced by toys made from recyclable materials.
However, customers will not see the change until Christmas 2020.
The retailer is also banning the use of plastic glitter on the crackers and will instead use stencilling or embossing.
