Open Slideshow

Christmas is a special day and it deserves a special breakfast. Whether it's just two of you or you're hosting a crowd, a breakfast celebration is in order. I usually keep things simple yet festive with muffins or scones and a hearty egg casserole.
If you don't have your menu planned yet, not to worry – we've got you covered! Here are 15 Christmas morning-worthy recipes, from make-ahead cinnamon rolls to savory egg dishes and a sweet breakfast version of eggnog bread pudding.

Spicy Sticky Cinnamon Rolls with Cream Cheese Icing

If you're in charge of cooking Christmas breakfast this year, you have two choices about how to spend the morning. You can cozy up in the kitchen with your nearest and dearest as you scramble eggs, flip pancakes, and crisp the bacon. This is usually my approach. I love spending the morning in my pajamas and slippers, making breakfast with my family.
You can also plan a menu with dishes that can all be made ahead of time, like muffins, bread, quiche, and egg casseroles. This is ideal if you're hosting guests or have a busy day planned.
