CHRISTMAS BRUNCH IDEAS
When the time comes for you to start building your holiday menu, keep in mind that a good mix of sweet and savory is key. Serve homemade biscuits with sausage gravy along side the stacks of french toast or sweet rolls. This helps to balance out the day and keep everyone happy.
No need to go overboard, you can get away with picking just one or two of these holiday brunch ideas, OR you can go all-in and make a full spread. The choice is up to you.

Recipe Notes:
Serve your favorite recipes! You’ll want to enjoy the day and make as many memories as you can. Serve something you know your family will love and that is super simple. There are dozens of recipes listed here for you to try all year long.
A good holiday breakfast menu will include something sweet, something savory, something fresh, and a few drink options. A good example of a menu we would serve at our home would be:
French Toast
Fresh Fruit
Scrambled Eggs
Orange Juice or Milk
Our favorite way to serve brunch is family style. We add all of the options to the table and let everyone self serve. This works best when you have a smaller group.
For bigger crowds, you can serve breakfast buffet style! Line all of the items up on the counter and form an assembly line to allow people to fill their plates.
