Christmas Breakfast?
Ask a Question
My daughter wants to come over to our home for a Christmas breakfast. We usually have cereal and toast so I’m after some ideas to posh it up a bit. Any suggestions greatly received.
I love having a bowl of trifle for breakfast Christmas Day. It’s the only time I do it but it’s a traditional now.
We will be having smoked salmon and cream cheese bagels with a glass of Buck's Fizz if I'm back drinking booze
TheChimp A glass of Bucks Fizz is an excellent idea, although I don’t drink. But I could also get a selection of fruit juices. I was thinking of getting a selection of fruit as well.
eyeballkerry Yes, you could make up a fruit salad. Nice and refreshing to have first thing.
In our house we usually do smoked salmon and scrambled eggs for breakfast on christmas morning.
jms19 I really do not like smoked salmon but scrambled egg goes down well. I might just get a selection of egg, bacon, sausage etc.
eyeballkerry i don’t like smoked salmon either to be honest, i usually just stick with scrambled egg on toast for Christmas breakfast
Jerseydrew I was thinking about getting the croissants you get frozen and then cook them on the day. You can also get some danish pastries as well. At least nothing would get wasted.
eyeballkerry yeah that's why we get these less waste sk better value in the long run
eyeballkerry If you have an Aldi near you, they do really nice frozen pecan plaits and cinnamon swirls that you warm up in the air fryer/oven
Depends what your daughter likes and how much trouble you want to go to For us Christmas breakfast is usually cereal , toasted fresh cut bread or crumpets and breakfast rolls/muffins filled with bacon or sausage patties and eggs.
I usually have a mince pie so as to not to spoil my appetite for lunch but to give me a little sugar kick 
When my kids were still at home - about age 10 - i started to do a plateful of sausage or bacon egg sandwiches etc and take them into the living room where they were trying on new clothes or makeup etc. this kept them out of the kitchen so I could cook in relative quiet lol
Scrambled eggs on toast with smoked salmon, pepper and Buck’s Fizz for a special breakfast.
Fresh Orange and a jam croissant for brekkie.Then a strong fresh coffee with a small piece of Dundee or fruit cake for elevenses.Maybe a couple of drinky poos before a seat down stuff yerself dinner and then a fillim and a much earned siesta lol.Wake up and then party.
MelissaLee1 My daughter is only coming for breakfast then the rest of the family will be having a dinner. At this rate it will a late dinner.
I found it very strange when I got with my partner and his family had breakfast on Christmas day 
They had nurses in their house so they often worked Christmas day, this was the only chance they got to sit down as a family.
Whereas our household used to have to wait until 12-1pm for the 'main' dinner even though we'd get out of bed around 4am. The food we were told to eat was either open our selection boxes or eat chocolates quality street or similar. I thought that was 'normal' 
DeBunny This is the first time my daughter has asked to come for Christmas breakfast, this is why I am asking for suggestions. I could just ask her but was wanted more to surprise with something different.
eyeballkerry I'm glad you asked this question, I love seeing the responses.
I might steal some of the ideas from the responses myself, a Christmas breakfast bagel sounds lovely!
I just had an idea for something a little bit different. What about a similar to an afternoon tea type thing. So if they are into different types of food instead of having just one. Maybe mini omelettes with different toppings/fillings, almost like canapés, could make them in a cupcake style tray.
Could call it the bite size breakfast 
Bacon and cheese. Salmon and herbs. Pepper and spinach...

DeBunny They look amazing, I think I would have to practice them a few times before the day, thanks for sharing.
this looks delicious 
haven’t had breakfast yet lol 
did you make this or photos from online? 
We usually buy croissants for Christmas morning - you could always jazz them up with a filling x
On Christmas Day I usually do Smoked Salmon with Scrambled Eggs on Seeded Toast, it's a family favourite & always goes down well

Christmas is already a busy enough day. A few years ago I ordered a breakfast platter (delivered Christmas Eve). It had pancakes and fruit. it was a bit of a let down to be honest
Think I might be the only one who doesn’t have breakfast I just wait for the dinner and then snack on chocolate and biscuits later in the evening
Christmas morning I start munching all the stupid stuff like chocolates and cakes etc and then by 11am I realise the main meal is coming up and stop eating so I'll be hungry by the time that is ready which is somewhere around 2-3pm. If you want something filling for the start of Christmas day perhaps something very high protein like a Cheese omelette or something like that.
Iv never ever had or done a Christmas breakfast. I don't have breakfast usually anyways unless I'm away. If I was having guests tho I think I'd avoid meat, just due to the amount people will eat at dinner. I'd keep it light maybes eggs benedick, or warm sweet croissants with fruit.
Christmas breakfast for us is the same as any other day, I don't eat breakfast, all I look forward to on Christmas day food wise is my dinner
martinlufc5637 Breakfask is usually the same for us each year but my daughter as asked to come round for breakfast as it’s the only time she is free. She is not a cereal or toast person.
I’d ask her what she wants for breakfast, she’s obviously expecting something special. Either a mini fry up, or just poached eggs or scrambled eggs on toast with smoked salmon. It also depends on what time planning on eating Christmas Roast.
Coffee don't eat breakfast. Christmas Dinner is filling ! But tbf I don't have breakfast daily. 3 cups of coffee.
bettsjennifer29 We don’t usually do this but it’s the only time our daughter can come round. We will be a Christmas dinner but probably not until well after lunch time.
We always have Croissants and Bucks Fizz, goes down a treat and not to heavy.
blacklabrador I’m looking this idea, we usually have pigs in blankets in a roll but a lot of people are saying croissants and now I am swaying
blacklabrador I will definitely be getting some Buck’s Fizz although I don’t drink, I will stick to fruit juice and will probably get the frozen croissants that you cook in the oven.
possy Of course I don't help myself in keeping it light by having 3 Croissants 
eyeballkerry And there are plenty of Non Alcoholic Bucks Fizz options around, anyone in our family that finds they have to drive late on Christmas Day opts for that.
blacklabrador Do they all contain orange juice? As I have an allergy to oranges. I will have a search and see what comes up.
There's never been any time for breakfast in our house, just a cuppa, as always running around other houses and then getting back home to cook our own dinner lol.
HEDGEHOGS All my children are adults now but back when they were younger it was all go, go, go and everyone got their own breakfast.
We don't usually have breakfast on Christmas day. When I was younger mum used to make scrambled egg on toast with some bacon.
My in laws had a cup of tea in bed with a tot of whisky in the tea! Both were in the Forces during WW2 so a habit from those times to keep warm. A traditional fried breakfast then followed with a glass of sherry before lunch.
