Make Christmas Breakfast preparation easier with these tips!

Dreaming about Christmas breakfast? Christmas morning is an exciting time for kids! This is usually the time when they run to the Christmas tree and rip open wrapped presents they’ve been waiting to lay their hands on (that is if they didn’t get to them on Christmas eve!)

Christmas breakfast is equally exhilarating for them.

For parents, it’s a time to relax and sleep in, without work getting in the way. This is why Christmas breakfast preparation should not be tedious. It should be an unhurried and relaxed affair, especially since you’re still on a high from all the food from Noche Buena the night before!

If you’re out of leftovers, here are some food hacks moms and dads should know to make Christmas morning just as special.

Christmas breakfast ideas:

1. Whip up some egg muffins

Also known as baked omelets and minifrittatas, these delicious treats are super easy to make. You can find a recipe here.

2. Bake some Bacon

If you’re anticipating a large gathering on Christmas morning, you can save time by using an oven, instead of a frying pan to prepare juicy strips of bacon.

3. Spread some Candy cane magic

There’s nothing like a sprinkling of candy dust–you can crush them in a food processor—to make any dessert even more festive!

4. Scramble eggs the easy way

Scrambling eggs directly on the pan instead of in a separate bowl saves time, and let’s face it, this is the more fun way! Add some milk for extra fluffiness.

5. Make delicious pancakes that are actually healthy

Indulging your family’s sweet tooth doesn’t have to mean loading them up with empty sugar. Whip up healthy alternatives to your family’s favourite fluffy pancakes using these recipes.

6. Make a breakfast casserole after dinner

You don’t have to prepare an entire casserole on Christmas morning itself. You can prepare it the night before and just heat it up the next morning. Not only will it lessen stress, it’ll also allow you to spend more time with your loved ones!

7. Create Santa strawberries

Possibly one of the most adorable Holiday desserts, Santa strawberries with cream cheese are delicious confections! Rest assured–relatives of all ages can enjoy it.

10. Say Cheers with Christmas mimosas

A white cranberry Mimosa or any light cocktail can make Christmas breakfast and the preparation that comes with it more enjoyable…for mommy and daddy, of course!

12. Bake hard-boiled eggs in bulk

13. Slow cook hot chocolate

Using your slow cooker, create generous servings of hot chocolate. Not only will it make dozens of servings in half the time, it’ll make Christmas breakfast prep super fun.
