It’s worth thinking about Christmas breakfast ideas before the big day comes. If we know anything about Christmas morning, it’s that trying to come up with a plan while you’re in the thick of it all is like leading a team of reindeer without having Rudolf’s nose to guide the way.
So, think: Are you opening presents first, or do you need something simple to get in people’s bellies before they start unwrapping (and unraveling)? Does Christmas brunch need to ride in the car to Grandma’s house? Does it need to be made ahead? Of course, your household’s breakfast preferences also come into play: Does your brood tend to crave baked goods? Waffles with maple syrup and salty bacon? Or do you lean toward eggs, spicy sausage sandwiches, or casseroles layered with cheese?
No matter your answer, you’ll find easy Christmas breakfast ideas for you and yours below. Then you can get back to finding the perfect gifts for everyone (that includes yourself, you know).
