Christmas morning is the epitome of family time! Grab a cup of coffee and relax into your morning knowing that breakfast is already taken care of with one of these easy, make-ahead recipes!
Spending time with loved ones, making memories, and sharing gifts are what Christmas morning is all about. To get as much family time as possible, it’s always a good idea to have breakfast prepared and ready to go into the oven.
I have divided this roundup into two main sections, with the first being Freezer Friendly Make-Ahead Breakfasts. You can make these recipes a week or two ahead of Christmas, whenever you have a free moment, and then freeze them until you’re ready to enjoy.
The second section is comprised of Easy Overnight Recipes for Christmas Brunch. You can prepare these recipes on Christmas Eve and then store them in the fridge until you’re ready to bake them Christmas morning.
PRO TIP: If you’re planning a big Christmas Eve Dinner, I would recommend using a Freezer Friendly recipe. If you have the time on Christmas Eve to prepare a Brunch dish, I would recommend using an Overnight recipe.
