What do you do for your Xmas breakfast?

[Cordee]

I am hosting for the first time. I am 29, in my newly gutted and decorated home so plan to push the boat out. No children will be in attendance. Only adults. I enjoy hosting and cooking/baking.

What do you do for Christmas brekkie? I want it to be posh but light and easy. I was thinking of doing cinnamon buns and fruit salad. Plus tea, coffee, juice and fizz.

But then I think most people who are coming don’t really have sweet tooth’s (myself included liked). Stuffed croissants? DIY style? There will be a couple of veggies. And then some mini sweet pastries? But then that seems like too much pastry. Parfait?

I wouldn’t mind doing waffles/crepes but I don’t think that will be fun as I don’t want to be stuck in the kitchen whilst everyone else eats.

Xmas lunch is at 2.

Sorry this is being asked in Oct!

there will be plenty of snacks/canapes/seeet treats throughout the day

Cinnamon buns

Smoked salmon, scrambled eggs and Bucks Fizz of course...

Smoked salmon and cream cheese blinis with a squizz of lemon is enough to make me feel full and still enjoy the slight effects of the mandatory Christmas morning fizz.

Chocs as a snack to see me through until Christmas lunch.

We just do Christmas for ourselves, we eat around 2 as well I serve the starter around 12.30 - smoked salmon/ lobster/prawns with a little thinly sliced brown bread and butter and a glass of Buck's fizz. Should I be hosting (and getting up earlier) i would offer warm croissants and chocolate or coffee around 9.30/10.00.

Greek yogurt - a really creamy one like Fage - with fruit, honey & granola, plus freshly baked (from frozen) French pastries and cinnamon rolls and maybe bagels with cream cheese and smoked salmon. They’re going to have a big meal later on anyway.

We have animals so are up and out early but we come home to a selection of bacon rolls with coffee and/or Nigella’s Christmas muffins with clementines.

Sounds perfect

We have a bread basket with a selection of pastries. A plate of ham, cheeses, sliced tomatoes and spinach. A few boiled eggs, a fruit salad, a bowl of yoghurt and selection of preserves. It’s my favourite part of the day 🤣

Pate on toast. We have dinner at 2.

Bacon baps. Literally chuck the bacon in the oven and away we go.

Depends what time you want to serve/ eat the main event.
If you want to rise late-ish, have a relaxed brunch and a good walk and some time after the King (and you say you’ve got savoury-toothed adults) I’d do something like:
Clementine juice
smoked salmon, scrambled eggs, wilted spinach with toast
Croissants and jam

Warm crusty bread, all the cheeses, cold meats, smoked salmon, paté, and anything else that you fancy. It is everyone's favourite breakfast of the year.

croissants with butter / jam / cheese and bucks fizz

I make a trifle on Xmas Eve, I’ve had this for breakfast on Xmas Day for over 25 years 😋

I open the quality street tub and bucks fizz

My selection box and a cup of tea

Some very fancy breakfasts on here! We usually spend Christmas with my family and I usually have a tube of smarties, few malteasers and a fererro rocher. Washed down with a coke (glass bottle one obvs)
a 10/10 Xmas breakfast and if I’ve been good all year these things will be in my stocking from Santa aka mum so I won’t even have to move!

We do eggs Benedict and mimosas! But good to have pastries and fresh fruit on the side

We just have normal breakfast and the main meal / celebration is Christmas lunch

I would go with some savoury options, mini breakfast bites (basically mini quiches) sausage rolls or even cocktail sausages. Bacon butties. I dont have a sweet tooth so wouldn't eat pastries etc for breakfast and would be starving!

Wow. I would never have thought of this but my god I need to do this this year.

We have smoked salmon and mimosa

Vegan cooked brekkie, something I have always done.

What’s your normal breakfast tho? I would feel a bit meh getting the cornflakes out which is quite weird really. Christmas does make some of us a bit mental like that 🤣

@whatcanthematterbe81 cornflakes with extra thick double cream, a swig of baileys and some charred segments of clementine?
