What to do for breakfast on Christmas Day ?

[NewMeNewUs]

I was thinking crossiants with ham and cheese, maybe some chocolate filled ones too.
but it’s not really a big breakfast to keep us going is it ?

what do you guys have for breakfast on Christmas Day?

I like doing bagels with cream cheese, smoked salmon, tomatoes, red onion and capers. Skip the salmon if you don't eat fish. It's lovely with. Squeeze of Lemon as well. Super simple

Porridge with dried cranberries and cinnamon

Smoked salmon on scrambled eggs, with a glass of champagne not far behind.

Toast and pate here. Can't wait already 😋

Croissants, orange juice, champagne.

Pigs in blankets butties and a Buck’s Fizz!

Babycham and Matchmakers for me!

DH and DC have the cinnamon rolls that I make the day before...

We have trifle. A bit niche, but we aren't waiting till 4pm to eat again either

We do panettone and a glass of bubbly 🥰

1/2 fat sausages, scrambled egg, bacon, 2 hash browns, baked beans or plum tomatoes and a slice of toast with fresh juice with bits in and fresh vanilla coffee. We eat this at about 8am then don't eat Xmas dinner until 3pm. We just eat melon cubes for our Xmas dinner starter and often we are too stuffed for the dessert, so we have a selection of desserts at about 6pm.

And much Prosecco from about 9.30am on Xmas day.

Toast with ham or bacon. Champagne when opening presents.

Smoked salmon, scrambled eggs & champagne. Christmas tradition.

We have Christmas dinner quite late so need a decent breakfast to fill us up til then. We always have bacon sandwiches and Buck’s Fizz/OJ, I will also the night before put together a bit of a fruit salad, and put some frozen pastries on the air fryer. This year DS1 has requested pancakes so I’ll buy the fresh pre made little ones from middle - they’re lovely!

Obviously also lots of chocolate!

Cinnamon buns.

We take it in turns to choose. DS requested fruit salad and winter muffins last year. We've had pastries in the past, crumpets, Welsh rarebit, breakfast burritos, bacon sandwiches, porridge. It's my turn to choose. Not sure what I'll opt for. I'll be making it so probably something simple.

Christmas shaped crumpets with butter and jam, orange juice, coffee.

I put something in stockings that I wouldn’t usually buy, one year was pop tarts, another those pots of lucky charms, this year is pots of chocolate orange porridge,

Pork pie, thinly sliced, on hot buttered toast slathered in mustard.

Crunchy nut cornflakes with ice cold milk.

I could eat those right now

Bagels with salmon and cream cheese but it's quite filling when you have all the rest of the food to come.

Maybe some chocolate pancakes or pasties? Ds loves chocolate chip pancakes with loads of marshmallows and sweets. For one day only.

Good point I might just give her the salmon (not loads) and a tiny bit of scrambled egg insteadz

The salmon is a treat for her she loves it.

Cinnamon rolls. My Christmas Day recipe is the best one.

go to tescos bakery section and get two sharing cinnamon bun packs, get home, remove from packaging and wedge into a casserole dish, spoon over some extra cream cheese frosting, pretend you spent hours and hours proving dough etc and instead read a book and drink mulled wine. Merry Christmas

We have half a grapefruit with sugar grilled on top (a long-standing family tradition that I assume originated in the 70s), panettone and hot chocolate/coffee/mocha depending on preference.
When Dc were younger they would have half an orange instead of the grapefruit.
