What do you do for your Xmas breakfast?

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

I always do rice porridge, as that's traditional where I am. But when I was a child our breakfast on Christmas Day was the absolute best breakfast ever - it was leftovers from our dinner the night before. Loved it!

Pannetone, chocolate orange and Buck’s Fizz for us!

We have bucks fizz followed by bacon butties mid morning and then dinner around 3.

Smoked salmon and poached eggs!

We're a bacon bap family.

Usually tiger loaf toast or crumpets followed by half a selection box. Dinner at 1.30 then a sandwich or cheese and crackers much much later on after an afternoon snooze on the sofa.

I make a sweet bread pudding type dish that we call French toast casserole. With bacon for the meat eaters. Make ahead and heat on the morning.
