Tips to Make Breakfast Smooth on Christmas Morning
- Make a plan. Know what you'll be serving for breakfast on Christmas morning so you don't have to think about it anymore.
- Stay ahead. Many of the items listed below can be made ahead and reheated for Christmas breakfast. Prepare any sides you want to serve with the items below, such as hard-boiled eggs, yogurt, fruit, whole wheat English muffins, or other breakfast favorites.
- Disposable plates. If you know there will be a lot of people at home for Christmas and you want to start the day with minimal kitchen cleanup, allowing your family to use disposable plates is a huge time saver.
- Ask for help. Of course, Christmas is full of gifts, family fun, and more, but it can also bring challenges that benefit children of almost any age. Have older children put their breakfast plates in the dishwasher. Have young children wipe the table. Making sure kids (and adults, too) do age-appropriate chores helps them stay focused on the fun of the day and not overwork themselves.
