One of my favorite Christmas traditions is Christmas breakfast with my family. It’s a great way to kick off Christmas morning and it means no one is starving for Christmas dinner so you won’t feel quite so rushed.

Our traditional Christmas morning breakfast is homemade waffles, orange rolls, bacon, and mimosas. I also love to create fun Christmas breakfasts throughout the holiday season.

You can have a Christmas breakfast to welcome your Elf on the Shelf back to your home or a fun Christmas brunch with friends. Whatever type of Christmas breakfast you want to have you will find the perfect recipes below.
