The first Christmas cracker was used in Britain in 1847. It was created by Tom Smith, a London-based sweet maker, who was inspired by the French bonbon. The original crackers were simple paper tubes filled with sweets and a motto, but they evolved over time to include small gifts and the characteristic snap when pulled apart.
The first crackers were made by Tom Smith of London. Smith was a sweet maker who used to sell sugar almonds wrapped in twists of coloured paper - these were inspired by the "bon-bons" he had seen in Paris. To increase sales in his store, he began to include little mottoes inside, rather like a fortune cookie. The small explosive charge was added at an even later date to bolster sagging sales, this accompanied the disappearance of the candy and its replacement with a small gift.

no it has not been invented
No one seems to know where and when crepe paper was invented. It was in use in Japan by 1860. (See Basil Stewart, A Guide to Japanese Prints and Their Subject Matter [London: Kegan Paul, 1922], p. 35.)
