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

We have a full Scottish

Nice warm rolls, bacon and a tray of veggie sausages. Put out some butter and some fancy preserves and let people help themselves along with some fruit salad

I like to stay in bed until lunchtime. What is the AIBU vote for? Your use of the word “Xmas” perhaps!

They can join in and omit the salmon, I wouldn't allow fads to spoil a meal for the majority.

A cup of tea then croissants with salted butter and absolutely LOADS of strawberry and champagne jam, and a couple of Quality Streets

I recall taking my granddaughter and her mother out for a special 18th birthday breakfast and we managed a couple of espresso martinis but alcohol before evening is usually only on those special occasions.

We have crumpets with cheese - long time family tradition and my children now serve the same

American style pancakes (bought), bacon, maple syrup - yum and doesn’t require too much time in the kitchen!

We do continental style fruit/cheese/cured
meats and yoghurts.

My precious mum would work continuously Christmas Day, like most other folk

They sound nice!

It’s no different than any other Sunday with a roast!
coffee n whatever we normally have and then a midday roast!!
only difference being is it’s not always a Sunday!!

A bowl of Bran flakes, same as usual 🤣. I’m not a big breakfast person, and we’d all rather save ourselves for our Christmas lunch ! Which we have at our usual 1pm so that we’ve got room again for our favourite bit which is a cold cuts supper in the evening!

Full English/Scottish/Welsh/Irish breakfast.
That way you have 2 of the best meals on earth in one day.

I love how the last two posts represent the absolute extreme options: a bowl of bran flakes as usual Vs a great big plate of one of the best meals on Earth! Isn't diversity a wonderful thing. 🎉

Mushrooms on toast, with cream and sherry.

I think I know which house I’d go to lol

Bagels and philly cream cheese in our house! 🙌 🥯 😋
I have mine topped with smoked salmon, scrambled eggs and fresh chives, and a drizzle of balsamic glaze, which looks fab 👌

DS prefers a continental style breakfast, with chopped fruit on his bagel, with either cream cheese, honey or Nutella.
Or DS has a pain au choc, with fresh blueberries on the side, a babybel, and a fresh orange or apple juice. ❤️

For the adults we have a nice coffee (cafetiere) and a buck's fizz 😉

We don’t have a special breakfast. Just what we would normally have. We have Christmas lunch around 1.30 so don’t need a big breakfast.

We have smoked salmon and scrambled egg, we eat lunch late afternoon

Ah but you haven’t experienced my roast turkey lunch , or my cold cuts meal ! Which involves Christmas coleslaw and Delia’s spiced red cabbage with cranberries 😋. Need to leave room for all that 🤣

Glad to hear it's not all shredded cardboard! 🤭

Smoked salmon on wholemeal bread with rocket etc and of course Champagne!

Definitely not ! 🤣

We have croissants, nice bread and jam bu5 we have dinner at 1. I like the bagel idea and the smoked salmon and poached eggs too!
