Christmas comes just once a year; what better way to celebrate than with one of these timeless, sugary-sweet Christmas breakfast recipes? Christmas breakfast is the perfect time to indulge in some extraordinarily decadent morning treats and holiday baked goods. Our crumbly blueberry muffins topped with lemony cream cheese glaze will light up your Christmas morning breakfast table. Warm, buttery cinnamon rolls, served fresh from the oven, take your Christmas brunch menu from simple to absolutely soul satisfying. For a casual Christmas breakfast, try irresistible crumble coffee cake drizzled in bourbon sauce and topped with a nutty cinnamon crumble. For a winter delight that’s full of flavor, whip up a Sweet Potato Coffee Cake infused with orange zest and spicy cinnamon. So many choices, not enough Christmases! Don’t fret. No matter which sweet treat you choose to include your Christmas morning breakfast, your family and friends will be counting down the days until next year, when they can get their hands on more.
