Special Christmas Day breakfast for kids

Usually they have cereals and/or toast with a piece of fruit. I want to do them something quick and easy but a bit special for Christmas Day breakfast. Dh and I usually have smoked salmon bagels but they don't like this.

Don't care if it's sugary or crap, it's Christmas! One is 13 the other is a preschooler so ideally something to suit both. Don't fancy frying bacon and cooking much but other suggestions welcome!

OK so it's still cereal, but in our house Father Christmas puts the mini packets of coco pops etc from variety packs in the kids' stockings. It goes down a treat.

Pancakes or waffles where they can pick their own toppings?

My kids’ favourite is dippy egg and toast so I would do that or I would let the 13 year old choose.

We have pastries, jam, Nutella, fruit and Buck's Fizz

Poptarts?

Dc will probably all have poptarts Christmas morning because they're getting then in their stockings 😂 All 3 of them love them equally (16, 14, 7).

Pancakes - either homemade or shop ones. Set up a little topping station with sprinkles and cream and stuff.

Pancakes? We did American style ones with syrup, fruit and creme fraiche for my 4yo's birthday, he loved it!
