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?

sausages, toast and hot coffee.

we're doing Brie cranberry and rocket seeded bagels.

This is a really cute idea! I might do this on DS's porridge before Christmas 🎅🏼

I always used to do a full English but then nobody would eat Christmas lunch so now I don’t bother. We usually eat about 2pm so they’ll just have something light and I don’t have anything (I’m not a breakfast eater).

Celebrations/ roses whatever chocs we get

Hope you also have half a maraschino cherry in the centre!

We're having croissants and pain au chocolat but will have also a Weetabix or something similar first so that breakfast is actually filling.

Bacon sandwich washed down with a Buck's Fizz! And chocolate after.

I always have room for Christmas dinner, it's never been a problem

Mmmmmm this was always our go-to pre-kids. Sadly can't eat eggs any more. I miss this!

Frozen pastries that I put in the oven while we open presents then the DC will also probably want cereal followed by chocolate before Xmas lunch about 1ish and more snacks in between as they are bottomless pits 🙈

I always had my usual cereal as a kid then I was allowed to eat whatever for the rest of the day.

It's been interesting reading this thread as my kids are 3 years old, and 10 months old. So our traditions are kind of starting this year :) I'll need to think of a breakfast for us!

Bacon, eggs, sausages, mushrooms, beans! etc and Bucks Fizz

We do have lunch about 4/5pm though so brunch works well

We do the porridge with glitter on Dec 1st whilst listening to Christmas music 😂 kids love it! But for Christmas day it's got to be chocolate!! With a Bailey's coffee 😉.

I let DC choose. This year will be pancakes. I’m not cooking the lunch though so I don’t mind making pancakes. And lunch will be mid afternoon so substantial breakfast for the win.

posh croissants with good butter, plenty of tea and a poke at the nice biscuits, around 9/9.30am, then bits of chocolate and taste-testing the Christmas drinks til “The Dinner” around 4pm as it’s getting dark. Candles lit, tree lit, lovely cosy light.

Eggs on toast or something - we eat quite late. Never got into a fancy Christmas breakfast tho my MIL does slug whisky into her coffee

A bit of a free for all here - usually coffee, orange juice and chocolate, maybe croissants, pannetone, toast, definitely champagne … depends who’s up and what they fancy, and as long as it doesn’t get in the way of lunch prep I don’t really care. Sometimes I’ll do smoked salmon blinis if we’re not eating until much later, but an actual breakfast feels like way too much food and way too much hassle.

Filled croissants is perfect - realistically how long do you need to ‘keep going’ for? If your kids are really little you might need to have some snacky stuff to hand (fruit, cereal or whatever), esp if they’ve been up since the crack, but otherwise that sounds plenty to keep everyone ticking over. Also depends what time you plan to have your main meal and what the gap is?

Chocolate. Always chocolate.

Maybe some Prosecco too.

The people having smoked salmon and champagne 😂 ‘home baked sourdough bread’ -

another vote for chocolate here

Chocolate then we have nibbles late morning while food is cooking.

We have and I always have had since a child😂 Bacon baguettes with mushrooms and ketchup! With bux fizz or orange juice for the kids!

My dd is having it. She tried it once when we were out. It's not something we have in the fridge just kicking about

What’s wrong with smoked salmon & champagne? It’s delicious, and it is Christmas. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Exactly, Don't knock it until you have tried it. It's a great breakfast.

We always have smoked salmon. Normally on blinis but sometimes on bagels with cream cheese.
