What do you have for Christmas breakfast and Boxing Day meal?

[Spelda]

Looking for ideas we usually have full English on Christmas morning but I want to change things up this year and want to know what others have?

Also I’ve never had to make a dinner on Boxing Day and I can’t think what to have... I’ll have the cold meats but what do you usually have with it ? Or do you have something else completely ?

Usually smoked salmon and champagne for christmas day breakfast, full christmas dinner then thai with the leftovers on boxing day.
This year is different as my youngest dd is working christmas day so will be dropping off smoked salmon and cakes that she can take into work and then same again on boxing day so we can all enjoy as a family when she's actually got a day off...everything's just a day late. Chilli beef boxing day +1...cold meets and cheese if anyone's still hungry whilst playing monopoly to the death.

Don't normally bother with breakfast. Have sausage rolls and champagne at 11ish.

Boxing Day lunch usually canapés as and when people want. Just whack a few bits in the oven whenever people fancy.

Boxing Day supper is usually leftover turkey and chips. But there's often leftover veg / gravy / cauli cheese etc which people add as wanted.

Christmas day breakfast this year is going to be French toast on a sourdough tiger loaf with streaky bacon and maple syrup (I love sweet for breakfast 😊) this will also be after I eat whatever chocolate is in my stocking lol we will have this late morning and will keep us ticking over til the 3 course dinner.

Boxing day will definately be a take away, typically Chinese. Ain't no way I am cooking again after the palava of hosting Christmas x

breakfast is usually something like toast or a croissant with coffee
boxing day is the left over turkey, ham, pork pie, cold sausages, make bubble and squeak with left over veg and potatoes and some salads, cheese board, any puddings left over from xmas day

Croissants or other pastries for breakfast (brunch these days as my dc are now older) with Buck’s Fizz. Boxing Day is either another take of the roast (I’m sure I’ll have plenty of leftovers) or the cold meats with chips, beans, and pickles. My mum used to cook a ham on Christmas Eve, so we’d have a choice of ham or turkey (or both!) I think I’ve done turkey curry before as well.

Breakfast on Christmas Day is croissant and bucks fizz. Don't want much to eat when we are going to be eating so much the rest of the day.

Boxing Day is, of course, bubble and squeak. What else would it be? I make sure I cook too much roast potatoes, veg, yorkshire puds, roast veg so just we can have it. With it we might have nut roast or fried egg

Bacon sandwich for breakfast on Christmas morning, usually with bucks fizz - this year I'm working so it'll have to be a coffee

Boxing day is usually left over meat from christmas day and then we'll have frozen canapes, cheese and crackers, as a buffet along side

I'm up at the Stables at 6am Christmas morning, so I take a cup of tea with me. When I get home breakfast is usually chocolate coins I eat lunch but other than that there's no structure.

We just have our normal breakfast on Christmas day, toast cereal etc. I have the same as everyday fruit with yoghurt and muesli. Boxing day we usually have a big salmon at my Mum & Dad's.

We do Croissants and pastries Christmas morning. Then it's chicken and ham pie on Boxing day

Breakfast - Eggs Benedict/Florentine/Royale everyone places their order, and we assemble accordingly. Fresh fruit and fruit juice, coffee, hot chocolate, tea.

Boxing Day meal, usually some leftovers, by then we're all stuffed, and I've had enough of cooking! Or we might be travelling to see family.

Always smoked salmon, scrambled eggs (made with double cream!), croissants and chives for Christmas morning. We get posh fruit juice too. Dd hates eggs so usually has Nutella with hers.

Boxing day is usually a buffet type thing, whatever delicious party food m&s have in store, I'm hoping to try the chicken doughnuts this year! We have the leftover turkey and a ham too.

After seeing recommendations on here previously, I've bought the frozen mini pastries from M and S, plus a choc chip pannetone for DS and I which we have had for the last few years

DS2 likes bagels with smoked salmon and cream cheese. DH might join him or have pate.

DS1 and I are not bothered about breakfast so we might get some croissants in just in case we fancy something!

Boxing Day breakfast is usually at my parents - normally a cooked breakfast of some kind

Breakfast one, mince pies and tea/coffee whilst doing presents. Then proper breakfast smoked salmon and scrambled eggs with bucks fizz. That's usually about 10 and then nothing until dinner, sometime mid afternoon. Boxing day is just grazing, we'll have cold meats cheese,pickles, crisps etc but no set meals.

For Christmas day breakfast we have pastries with orange juice, Bucks Fizz and coffee.

On Boxing day we have a buffet - cheeseboard and crackers with chutney, pickles, cranberry sauce, grapes, pears, dates. Some canapes, sausage rolls, salad. Crisps and nuts. Christmas cake, stollen, Lebkuchen, yule log and berries.

No idea this year, but in “normal tines” we have

Smoked salmon and scrambled eggs on toast Xmas Day, Bacon, Sausage and Egg rolls Boxing Day. Both are late affairs after morning stables.

Boxing Day is cold meat, fried potato, pickles and a ridiculous quantity of cheese and biscuits. Eaten at whatever random time suits-we don’t adhere to the normal Lunch and Dinner timings. It’s more grazing really.

Croissants and bucks fizz for Christmas breakfast as it’s quick and portable, so we can have it by the tree while opening presents!
Boxing day breakfast is porridge with fresh brambles, and lunch is home made sushi, as we need something light and refreshing after the big turkey and trimmings the day before.
Dinner in the evening is usually Indonesian, made from some of the left over turkey cooked up with peanut, chilli, coconut, lemon grass, ginger and soy.
The turkey reappears for several days thereafter, as curry, salad, casseroled in red wine with mushrooms, and finally the carcass boiled up for soup.

Overnight oats as usual for breakfast before a 6 mile walk. Back about 12 to shower etc, then the champagne gets opened for gift opening.
We normally eat out but not this year....no leftovers so possibly a big cheese/ charcuterie board on Boxing Day. ( after another walk)

Me and oh have bucks fizz and egg and bacon English muffins. Dd has chocolate!

Boxing day we normally go to fils and have a buffet with cold meat, wedges, bread, salad etc. If we don't end up going this year I'll probably do something similar.

Christmas Day
Buck's Fizz and coffee while opening presents then I make full English.
Bacon , sausage, hash browns , eggs ? Mushrooms, toast & beans .
Boxing Day tea leftovers and have family round for buffet .

Breakfast on Christmas Day is proper east end bagels (special trip to Brick Lane to get them a few weeks before, they freeze well) with cream cheese and smoked salmon.

Boxing Day main meal is always Turkey and Ham pie with the Christmas veggies as bubble & squeak, we'll have Kedgeree for breakfast/brunch earlier. It's still quite a lot of cooking, but I basically do two days of full on cooking and then we eat leftovers for a week

Something light for breakfast, on boxing day - ham, left over turkey and mash pickles etc.

Christmas morning I usually have bacon butty, for a few years I got into baking so would make bacon and Stilton bread rolls on Christmas Eve to use for bacon butties. I might do poached eggs and smoked salmon this year if I can be arsed.

Boxing Day I usually have a sandwich from Xmas dinner leftovers and gorge on cheese and chocolate all day

Christmas Day breakfast: generally a selection of French pastry (specifically oven rolled croissants). Also, Christmas is generally the only time we can afford to run the coffee machine so we generally have drinks from the machine.

Boxing day meal: whatever we didn’t have on Christmas Day. My parents are pescatarians. This year it looks like we’re having vegan turkey on Christmas Day and salmon Wellington on Boxing Day. Vegetables will be the same on both days. We will also be having a starter and dessert. The starter on the day we have fish is generally a mushroom stroganoff on lettuce. Couldn’t tell you what the desert it’s going to be yet.
