25 Fun Christmas Morning Breakfast Ideas

Okay, I need to share these fun Christmas morning breakfast ideas with you, because Christmas morning is basically the main character moment of the whole year. Matching pj's, coffee in my cutest mug and something warm and cinnamon-y coming out of the oven? Yes please. So I rounded up 25 easy Christmas morning breakfast ideas that make the vibe so simple to pull off.

I'm talking make ahead breakfast casseroles you prep on Christmas Eve, overnight French toast, gingerbread pancakes, a cinnamon roll Christmas tree and yes, a Christmas mimosa for the girlies. Most of these bake while you open gifts, so you actually get to enjoy the morning (instead of standing at the stove the whole time).

Holiday treats are my fave, and the easier yet Instagram-mable, the better. I'd so much rather prep the night before and sleep in than flip pancakes at 7 a.m.

How to Pull Off an Easy Christmas Morning

• Prep it on Christmas Eve. Breakfast casseroles, French toast bakes and cinnamon roll casserole soak in the fridge overnight. In the morning you just hit bake.
• Do one savory, one sweet. A sausage and egg casserole plus a cinnamon roll bake and literally everyone is happy.
• Add something fresh. Grinch fruit kabobs or a holiday breakfast board make the table look so cute (and a little lighter).
• Give the drinks a moment. A mimosa or hot cocoa bar is low effort, high reward. Bougie vibes, zero stress.
