Christmas morning can be crazy in many homes and breakfast can easily be overlooked as you prepare for the busy day ahead. Here are some ideas to help with breakfast on Christmas morning so you can be sure that everyone gets off to a good start.
1. Prepare the night before
Even without young children in the house, Christmas morning is often quite hectic, add a couple of excited young ones and it is nothing short of chaotic, so prepare whatever you can the night before. This might include setting the table, mixing pancake batter, cutting the fruit etc.
2. Make the menu special
Use this wonderful time of the year to enjoy delicious breakfast recipes you wouldn’t normally eat to make your morning special. Spoil yourself, your family and your Christmas guests with special breakfast treats such as gingerbread cinnamon scrolls, chocolate and raspberry pancakes, flavourful banana bread, cranberry scones or eggnog baked French toast.
3. Pack a special breakfast bag
Perhaps you need to leave the house early on Christmas morning to make it to church or a Christmas Day function that is long drive away. One way to make sure you and the family get a good start to the day is by packing a breakfast bag. It can be as simple as a piece fruit, muesli bar, popper and a special treat in a Christmas gift bag and you have a Christmas themed breaky on the go!
4. Go out for breaky
If you really want to start the day off with a bit of indulgence why not go out for breaky. This is a great way to squeeze an extra function in with family or friends you might not normally have time to meet up with. It is ideal for older family members, particularly grand parents, who can find Christmas day very tiring. Getting together early in the day allows them to be at their best and enjoy their day.
Whether you are up at the crack of dawn with the kids or you enjoy a relaxed sleep in on Christmas morning, a delicious feast is a lovely way to start the day. To help inspire you we have provided some of our favourite Christmas cooking ideas on our Pinterest page.
