There is just something so magical about Christmas morning, between the lights, the presents, and the excitement in your children’s eyes. We want to soak up every single minute.

And while we are torn between wanting to make a big hearty breakfast, we also want to enjoy all the Christmas morning activities. I know when our boys were small, my husband and I would take turns opening toy boxes, inserting batteries, reading instructions, etc.

The last place I wanted to be was in the kitchen, so I began to look for quick and easy Christmas morning breakfast ideas that the family could grab between opening presents.

Over the years, we have enjoyed breakfast casseroles, homemade donuts, and sticky buns. Most, recently cinnamon rolls have become one of our yearly Christmas traditions.

If you are ready to start a new Christmas tradition of your own or just looking for a new recipe to try this year, then you are sure to find the perfect one in this list of 35 Sweet and Savory Christmas Morning Breakfast Ideas.
