Best Christmas Breakfast Recipes
In our house, Christmas breakfast can draw as big a crowd as Christmas dinner or a holiday party. If you are hosting Christmas breakfast and need some foolproof recipes, look no further. Breakfast dishes are among my favorites, and I’ve perfected some delectable ones with many taste tests over the years.
From Cranberry Toasting Bread to Shrimp and Grits, I’ve got you covered.

Below are my 22 favorite breakfast recipes to serve our great-big extended family. Many of the posts have how-to videos! There are recipes for sit-down, filling breakfasts. On the other hand, there are baked goods to munch with coffee.
Make-Ahead Christmas Breakfast and Gifts
I know…who wants to be cooking on Christmas morning? That’s why I love make-ahead breakfast recipes. You can have homemade flavor without all the stress and fuss while the kids are opening their presents.
The Southern Buttermilk Biscuits are one of my go-to recipes for early prep because you can make and freeze the dough a week ahead. I give tips for freezing, storing, and reheating the biscuits in the post.
If I have time, I also like to make ahead the Danish Pastries, Cranberry-Toasting Bread, Pumpkin Donuts with Maple Cinnamon Glaze, Berry Muffins with Lemon Sugar Topping, and/or Venison Breakfast Sausage. The jams and jellies have long shelf lives, and they make wonderful Christmas gifts, too!
