Christmas is a special day and deserves a special breakfast. Whether you are having a relaxing lazy day with your family or a hectic running from house to house day to visit family a delicious, satisfying, filling Christmas breakfast is the best way to start your day!
If you oversee making Christmas breakfast, you have a big choice on how to spend your morning. You could spend it surrounded by loved ones in your kitchen frying bacon, scrambling eggs, and flipping pancakes. This was my choice before I had little ones running around, but these days I don’t want to miss a single moment of them ripping through their toys and gifts.
That is why these days I go more with option 2 the make-ahead Christmas breakfasts. Muffins, pastries, egg casseroles, strata, and other things I just have to make ahead of time and toss in the oven, let it bake while I absorb every moment with my kids. When everything is warmed up and done I place it all on the table like a buffet and my house turns into a free for all eating station.
So, whether you’re a spend the morning in the kitchen type or the plan, make-ahead, type, and if you haven’t planned your breakfast yet here are some incredible Christmas breakfasts to help you make this special day that much better.
