    Home - Entertainment - American viewers completely baffled by UK Christmas tradition in Bluey

    American viewers completely baffled by UK Christmas tradition in Bluey

    American Bluey fans have been left scratching their heads after witnessing a common Christmas tradition for the first time.

    Fans of the Australian animated children’s series have been watching old festive episodes of late but are bewildered.

    For the uninitiated, the emotional show follows the titular character, a Blue Heeler puppy, and her family – Dad Bandit, Mum Chilli and younger sister Bingo.

    Two years after premiering in Australia, the series was picked up by Disney Plus in 2020 and rolled out globally.

    Over the years some viewers have been left confused by scenes and references in the show, with the latest regarding a common sight on Christmas Day.

    In the 2020 episode Christmas Swim, the Heelers celebrate Christmas with their family and are seen at the dining table wearing colourful paper crowns.

    Although Christmas crackers and their fun contents are a regular feature at many family’s celebrations, Americans had no clue where the crowns came from.

    Posting on the Adult Bluey Fans Facebook group, one member posted a photo of the scene and asked: ‘What are the hats they wear, and what do they signify?’

    Reposting it on Reddit, someone questioned: ‘Seems like paper crowns are not a common thing. Found this and thought it was strange that there are people who don’t do party paper crowns. Definitely feels like Christmas with party poppers with a paper crown and bad jokes.’

    Commenting on the confusion, one person explained: ‘It’s a British Commonwealth thing. They appear in some of the Harry Potter Christmas scenes, for example.’

    ‘But that’s how you start Christmas dinner! Everyone pulls their Christmas cracker, puts on their party hat and reads their bad joke to the rest of the table!’ someone else shared.

    ‘They’re common in the UK and Australia. Christmas staples, even. I didn’t know what a Christmas cracker was until I moved to the UK,’ another added.

    Many others said they had only ever heard of Christmas crackers after watching other TV shows including Doctor Who and Peppa Pig.

    It was then suggested the obsession with Bluey now might lead to a ‘worldwide bon bon shortage due to unprecedented must-have FOMO demand from US market’.

    Since Bluey hit screens, it’s left many viewers wondering about other unique things including bin chickens (the Australian slang for the Ibis bird), colourful sunscreen, and even a cricket bat (some viewers once thought the sporting equipment was a bottle of wine).

    Bluey is streaming on Disney Plus.
