Betty Lawrence, a grandmother from the South Island city of Invercargill, made the discovery sitting down to Christmas dinner with 20 relatives, The Southland Times newspaper reported.

"I had said to my granddaughter 'what's the smell' and we couldn't work it out until we pulled the cracker," Lawrence told the newspaper, after finding a dead and partially decomposed mouse.

"It ruined my appetite for the rest of the day," Lawrence said.
