14 Special Breakfasts for Your Christmas Morning

Do you open gifts before or after breakfast on Christmas morning?  In my parents' house, when the gifts have been unwrapped and the stockings unstuffed, it is time for a breakfast of fluffy scrambled eggs and sweet cinnamon rolls.  My husband and I have started a new tradition in our own home; we feast on frittatas and fresh biscuits before settling in front of the tree with mugs of hot chocolate to open our gifts.  

Whatever your traditions, Christmas morning calls for a festive breakfast!  If you don't want to take the time to cook, you can use some of the Smitten Kitchen's tips to prepare a make-ahead brunch.

Below, I've rounded up 14 of my favorite festive breakfast dishes from blogs across the web; some are suitable for make-ahead, others will require a bit of time in the morning.  Enjoy!

Having just got out of a really bad relationship, I can plan for what can happen on Christmas morning with my family. This made me think of what I wanted Christmas morning to look like. I like how you eat breakfast then sit around with hot chocolates while opening gifts. I have a 6 years old son. I am not sure how long I will be able to hold him off from opening presents. This year is our first real Christmas. Thanks for your post!

Why is every single recipe filled with flour here? Gluten free so I made a hash brown, sausage and cheese bake!
