I’m a big breakfast person so every Christmas morning I usually have some cinnamon rolls prepped and ready to bake in the morning while I sip on my coffee and open gifts with my husband and kids. On top of that, we like to meet for brunch at my parent’s house later for pancakes, or waffles and make a big brunch.

Nothing beats a homemade cozy breakfast on Christmas morning. There are breakfast ideas here that everyone in the family will love. Just add some bacon or breakfast sausage on the side and “chefs kiss”.
