Description

KONG Holiday Crackles Sardine Cat Toy — a festive fabric sardine tin with a Santa-hat fish tucked inside, made for crinkling, batting and wrestling through the holidays.

  • Holiday design: an orange fish in a red Santa hat peeks out of a grey tin with a shiny silver rolled-back lid and a “Biscuits” label showing a cat riding a reindeer-drawn sleigh
  • Crackling material makes sounds that KONG says spark a cat’s hunting instincts
  • Filled with KONG Premium North American Catnip, which KONG says makes play sessions longer and livelier

  • Flat shape that KONG says is easy for cats to pick up, play with and wrestle
  • Multi-textured exterior: woven fabric, a shiny silver lid, iridescent crinkle lining and a grey felt-look pull tab

FAQs

Please read our FAQs page to find out more about PetMax.

What is the KONG Holiday Crackles Sardine cat toy, and what is it made of?
It is a flat fabric sardine tin with an orange fish in a red Santa hat tucked inside. The tin has a shiny silver rolled-back lid, iridescent crinkle lining and a festive "Biscuits" label. KONG says it contains crackling material and KONG Premium North American Catnip. KONG has not yet published a fibre breakdown for this 2026 holiday version; its year-round Crackles Sardine is listed as mostly polyester.
Which cats will enjoy the KONG Holiday Crackles Sardine?
KONG designs its Holiday Crackles toys for chasing, batting and capturing, and says their flat shape makes them easy for cats to pick up, play with and wrestle. That makes the Sardine a good match for cats who like to grab a toy, carry it off and wrestle with it. KONG also describes these toys as snuggle buddies after a long play session. KONG does not publish an age or weight range.
Does the KONG Holiday Crackles Sardine have catnip, a crinkle or a bell?
It has catnip and crinkle. The pack is flagged "Catnip", and KONG says the toy is filled with KONG Premium North American Catnip and makes crackling sounds that spark hunting instincts. KONG's year-round Crackles Sardine also has a bell inside the fish, but the holiday listings do not mention one, so we cannot confirm a bell. KONG does not describe this toy as refillable.
Is the KONG Holiday Crackles Sardine safe to leave out for my cat?
KONG's guidance is supervised use only. Remove all packaging before play, inspect the toy frequently and discontinue use if it becomes damaged. The fish lifts out of its tin and stays attached, so offer it during play you can watch rather than leaving it out unattended. KONG does not publish washing instructions for this holiday toy.
How big is the KONG Holiday Crackles Sardine cat toy?
It comes in one size. KONG's dimension graphic shows the tin at about 5 in (12.7 cm) tall and 3.5 in (8.8 cm) wide, with the fish tucked inside; it is a flat toy, so it is thin from front to back. This is a single toy with one design, not an assortment, so you receive the Santa-hat fish and "Biscuits" tin shown in the photos.
