59 Holiday Breakfast Ideas: A Delicious Start To The Day!

Last updated on January 23rd, 2024

Having holiday breakfast ideas on hand is probably the last thing on your mind when preparing for everything else you need to be ready for the big day!

But the subject of a good holiday breakfast always comes up for us, right about Christmas Eve.

Holiday Breakfast Recipes

So I decided to put together a list of 59, mostly easy to make and filling holiday breakfast ideas that the whole family will enjoy around the breakfast table.

Christmas Day can be pretty busy and hectic visiting with family, transporting presents and enjoying the day.

So, to make your life simpler and less hungry, print out these recipes to make for a magical Christmas morning.

But first a little background as to why I felt the need to write this post.

Christmas Morning As a Child vs. As An Adult

When I was a child, I could not wait for Christmas morning.  It was such a magical time in my life.

The best part of it was getting up, putting my robe on, and walking downstairs to the basement to see a beautifully decorated tree.

Under the tree was always a bunch of wrapped presents for my 3 siblings and myself.

Fast forward to me now being the Mom who desperately wants to create this same sense of magic for her own child on Christmas morning.

While, at the same time, trying to be fully prepared with at least a few Christmas morning breakfast ideas.

Needless to say, the morning usually starts out around 6:00 am because our son is an early riser, especially on Christmas morning.

Typically, I will have had less sleep than normal because I stayed up late the night before wrapping presents, setting out Santa’s cookies and milk, and preparing for the long day ahead.

The preparation for traveling to several places throughout the day, spreading our Christmas cheer (ahem, a little sarcasm there) is always a lot!

Therefore, the last thing I normally think of is what to make for breakfast on Christmas morning.

Something that will fill us up and give us a good foundation for the rest of the day, which normally consists of picking here and there on cookies, appetizers, sodas, and candies.

59 Holiday Breakfast Ideas

After perusing the internet, I found 59 of my favorite Christmas breakfast ideas.

I purposely chose a variety of easy recipes to suit everybody’s tastes, some of which can be a make-ahead breakfast and cooked in the slow cooker.

As a matter of fact, I will most likely make 2 or 3 of these delicious recipes on our holiday morning.

So there they are!  My top 59 holiday breakfast ideas.

I hope they’ve inspired you as much as they have inspired me to do more for Christmas morning breakfast than just grab a couple leftover cookies that Santa didn’t have time to eat.

If you make one or two of these recipes, it will start your morning off right and you will be more physically able to handle the festivities this day has to offer you.

Although this list is for holiday breakfast ideas, by all means, you don’t have to wait for another special occasion to make them!

They’re so good, go ahead and make them all year ’round!

Merry Christmas!
