Christmas is a season of celebration. It’s a special time spent with loved ones and surrounded by lots of holiday food that brings everyone together. It’s also a season filled with traditions, whether they’re old family traditions passed down through generations or new ones you create yourself.
When I think of my own family’s holiday traditions, I always think of the breakfast casseroles my mother made on Christmas morning. She would wake up, prepare the ingredients, then put everything in the oven. We begin to open presents as the house fills with delicious aromas, signaling the delicious Christmas breakfast to come.
However, it can be easy to get caught up in the noise of preparing for arriving guests or cooking Christmas dinner, causing breakfast to become an afterthought. But vacation or not, breakfast remains the most important meal of the day: after all, you’ll need that energy to tear through all your presents!
So, for those who need some inspiration for Christmas breakfast recipes, we’ve rounded up some cozy ideas just for you, with delicious winter flavors to suit the occasion. Best of all, these low-maintenance breakfasts are so easy to prepare and throw in the oven; you can make them in the morning or prepare them on Christmas Eve to reheat the next morning. Either way, you’ll be energized for all the joyous Christmas Day festivities after getting a great start to your morning.
