45 Christmas Morning Breakfast and Brunch Ideas

45 Christmas Morning Breakfast recipe ideas to make your day perfect. French toast, casseroles, pancakes and more!

Can you believe Christmas morning will be here before we know it? I was at a cookie exchange with my friends a couple of nights ago and it dawned on me that Christmas is nearly here! I need to get my act in gear. I’m planning N’s first birthday party (alreadddddy) — and I’m having a hard time thinking beyond that. We’re throwing his party four days before Christmas. Totally normal. No big deal. (EEEEEEK!)

Anyways — Christmas morning breakfast is so special. A time to slow down, eat a decadent meal in your pajamas, listen to Christmas music. Open stockings and spend quiet time with immediate family before running off to events and parties. I love Christmas morning. A lot.

Now I just need to decide what to make. I hope this list helps you decide as well.
