20 Christmas Morning Breakfast Ideas

Christmas morning breakfast does not have to be complicated. Since there are usually presents to open, family to visit, and other holiday plans to enjoy, I like choosing recipes that do not need too much attention in the kitchen.

If you are hosting a larger group, try serving a combination of sweet and savory dishes. You can add fresh fruit, coffee, hot chocolate, juice, and a few small breakfast bites to make the table feel more complete.
