Christmas Breakfast ideas please

[lookout]

Went to a huge effort to make Cinnamon Rolls last year, and the kids didn't like them. Any other easy, special, delicious but slightly different ideas?

(Sulks)

So no one us doing the chocolate? Damn I thought we could make it an official thing.

Then I wouldn't get that slight aftertaste of self hate and guilt.

We have raspberry swirl rolls (like cinnamon swirls), bagels with cream cheese and salmon or crispy turkey bacon.

I set the table the night before, but the turkey on a baking tray in the fridge and prove the buns overnight to be cooked in the morning.

Delicious and impressive plus only takes about 5-10minutes prep when we wake up.

Last year DS1 tried the baileys on cereal thing. He seemed to quite enjoy it.

Berries with Greek yoghurt and honey. Pain au chocolate. Oj and bucks fizz here.

This thread is making me hungry (and DH is throwing pillows at me because I mentioned Christmas).

I will either be very pg, in labour or with a newborn on Christmas day this year.

Will definitely be getting the bacon in

Sliced my DC would definately go for your chocolate for breakfast plan.
Is that after opening the Stockings at 7am and eating whatever chocolate is in there then?

Calling you'll be waaaay to busy to cook bacon, I suggest you have chocolate for breakfast to

When is the Estimated Date of Arrival for babyEngels ?

I baked Nigella's Christmas Morning Muffins last year, and whilst they smelled amazing, the taste was a bit meh. Nothing special.

I also cooked french toast using a brioche loaf, which was delicious, but cooking right before getting the Christmas lunch ready felt like I was in the kitchen all day. So this year I think I'm going to cheat and buy frozen pain au chocolat from Sainsbury's. OR get my Christmas lunch prep done the day before so cooking is a more relaxed affair.

Marmalade on toast. It is my go to breakfast for any special occasion.

DP is making bacon sandwiches, and we might have sausage rolls too.

We bought a waffle maker for the dc's last year and they loved it so probably waffles and pancakes again this year. I like the idea of letting them choose a cereal from the supermarket though as I never buy them the hideous chocolate ones!

Yay ItIs! Someone likeyly tradition!!

*likes my

DD made cinamon pastries last year, they were delicious. We had them with friut and Buck's Fizz and will behaving them again this year.

It's always been a thing. My Dad always cooked a way over the top Full English with everything you could ever think of, but I don't have time to do that before church with the kids, so am looking for something simpler. I like English muffins or bagels with different toppings, but we have those on and off during the year... Same with croissants. I want something bready, but maybe sweet... Maybe chocolate brioche, toasted.

Thanks for the ideas, any road up. I've got plenty of time to work on it at least

Pain au chocolat for the dc's and either a bacon sandwich or smoked salmon and scrambled eggs for me and dh if I'm feeling sophisticated that week when doing the shopping - so bacon sandwiches probably! I'm planning on doing a 'North Pole' type breakfast on Christmas Eve with the Santa and Rudolph pancakes, snowman milk bottles and Strawberry santa hats but the kids will know I've done it and not the elf!

Morrison's last Christmas done a really delicious Rudolph bread. It was quite like panattone (sp) in texture , chocolate orange flavour with icing powdered over it. It was in the shape of Rudolphs face with a cherry for the nose.

It was impossible to only have one bit!

We didn't have it for Xmas breakfast, we had it nearly every morning in December .

We had chocolate, orange and cranberry pantone last year with lots of coffee!

Bacon sandwiches and Bucks Fizz with OJ for DS. It works for us as I can cook the bacon, leave the butter, bread and sauces on the side with a stack of plates and napkins and people help themselves when they are able (4 adults and 1 child to get showered and dressed and 3 dogs to be walked after stockings and before church at 11am- I really fancy a refined sit down breakfast but we would miss church completely and end up straight at the pub :o)

We let the DC decide what they want, so they can choose from:
Normal breakfast; cereal, toast, crumpet, pop tart, or toasted tea cake.
Or special breakfast; scrambled egg and toast, pancake bacon and egg, fried egg sandwich, bacon sandwich, cheese ham tomato toastie, croissant, egg and soldiers.

Last year DS1 had a cheese ham and tomato toastie, DD had a croissant, I had a croissant (they came in a pack of 2), DH doesn't really eat breakfast but he will eat the leftovers so he finished of DS1' s toastie.

I like to have finger food as usually have already set the table for the Christmas meal...smoked salmon on wheaten bread is a favourite with bucks fizz.

This year I think we will sit at the table. LOVE the sound of the chocolate orange panettone so going to look for that and think i may serve these says they are a pudding but who cares; it's Christmas!

I glaze a huge ham a day or so beforehand - boil it, then bake it with cloves honey, orange juice and wine and have trouble keeping DH's paws off it

We have that Xmas morning with fried eggs and possibly sauté spuds, good quality fruit juice, tea, toast, etc. And, incidentally, chocolate.

One Christmas, many years ago, I was with the ILs, en masse, no DGC yet, and we more-or-less breakfasted on port. Whole bottle gone by about 10.30.
