Well hello friends!! I have a very special blog post for you today!! We're kicking off the Christmas season with my Christmas Morning Breakfast Menu, and I am SO excited to share it with you!

Christmas morning breakfast has become one of my favorite traditions, and this year I wanted to put together a cozy, festive menu filled with recipes you can make for the people you love. Whether you're hosting the whole family or enjoying a slow Christmas morning at home, I hope these recipes help you create a little holiday magic of your own!

Below you'll find my full Christmas morning breakfast menu, including a homemade cinnamon roll wreath, French toast casserole, savory breakfast favorites, and plenty of make-ahead ideas to keep your morning as easy and stress-free as possible. Here's to delicious food, cozy mornings, and traditions we'll be celebrating for years to come!!

The Menu

Christmas Morning Breakfast

Cinnamon Roll Wreath

Christmas morning wouldn't be complete without homemade cinnamon rolls!! This year, I turned our favorite holiday tradition into a festive cinnamon roll wreath topped with cream cheese frosting, sugared cranberries, and rosemary. It's almost too pretty to eat and makes the sweetest centerpiece for Christmas breakfast!

French Toast Casserole With Candied Pecans & Berries

This French toast casserole is one of my favorite ways to feed a crowd on Christmas morning!! Thick slices of challah are soaked in a cinnamon-vanilla custard, baked until golden, and topped with buttery candied pecans and fresh berries. It's cozy, delicious, and can be prepped the night before for an easier Christmas morning!

Crispy Breakfast Potatoes

As much as I love a sweet Christmas morning breakfast, the savory dishes are always my favorite!! These crispy breakfast potatoes are made in a cast-iron skillet with red and green bell peppers, onions, and plenty of seasoning. They're golden, flavorful, and the perfect addition to your holiday breakfast spread!

Crispy Oven-Baked Bacon For A Crowd

Making breakfast for a crowd? Oven-baked bacon is the way to go!! No standing over a hot stove or cooking one batch at a time. Just pop it in the oven while you prepare the rest of breakfast, and you'll have perfectly crispy bacon!

Christmas Morning Sausage, Spinach & Cheddar Egg Casserole

This is the kind of breakfast casserole that makes hosting Christmas morning SO much easier!! Loaded with savory breakfast sausage, sautéed peppers, spinach, and plenty of cheddar cheese, it's hearty, cheesy, and full of flavor. Plus, you can make it ahead of time and simply warm it up when everyone's ready for breakfast!

To Drink

Lots of fresh orange juice & coffee!!
