Special Christmas Day breakfast for kids

[nonkynink]

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!

Pancakes?

Egg and dippy soldiers?

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

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

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).

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

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

Pancakes or waffles where they can pick their own toppings?

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.

I like a novelty shaped crumpet. You can often get Christmas trees at some supermarkets.

bake at home pain au chocolate, chocolate croissants.

Scotch pancakes.

We buy frozen pastries and put them in the oven.
We do a special breakfast for them on Xmas eve, things like decorated porridge, tree shaped crumpets.

My two have bake at home croissants with jam, Nutella, strawberries and raspberries and also those reindeer shaped crumpets!

Bagel with nutella or jam

Pan au chocolat

My very big DC (in their 20’s) loved the reindeer crumpets from Morrisons I bought last week.

Love the idea of fresh pastries with Nutella. Ds loves a packet pain au choc but a fancy one that goes in the oven would be even better. Little one could try a croissant!

I like smoked salmon on toast for Christmas morning, the kids break into their selection boxes /chocolate oranges/coins 😂

Nigella’s Christmas morning muffins! Can do quite a bit of prep the night before and just bung them in the oven in the morning.

It'll be a pain au chocolat here for DD (she's 6).

Jus Rol pain au chocolat are super easy and taste nice.

I tend to put something in their stockings for breakfast, things like pop tarts, those individual pots of lucky charms, the porridge pots that come in flavours like chocolate orange etc.

french toast or chocolate

When I was young my mum made kedgeree the day before for breakfast on Christmas Day. I think with the aim of keeping us full until whatever time lunch happened.

Let them crack open their selection box!

I've just bought a bag of those frozen mini croissants, a mix of pain au chocolat, pain au raisin and plain, which you put in the oven and bake for ten minutes.
