This Christmas breakfast board is really fun to put together and perfect for a holiday morning. It would be great for delicious Christmas breakfasts or brunch, or any special occasions around the holiday season. I love it to share with the whole family, or for a fun get together with friends. It's quite easy to put together and delicious for a Christmas brunch board. This could become a favorite Christmas morning tradition.  The most important meal of the day, just got even cuter with all these fun ideas, sweet eats, and Christmas brunch recipes.

Christmas breakfast ideas

I thought it would be fun to create a gingerbread themed breakfast board for the holidays, and I was inspired by a few fun gingerbread themed sweet treats like the gingerbread man waffle maker, and the gingerbread man mini cast iron skillet. Once I had those, I also found some gingerbread man sprinkles, and gingerbread man marshmallows, just for fun.

f you couldn't find the gingerbread man waffle maker you could make regular mini pancakes or mini waffles, or use a cookie cutter to cut them into gingerbread man shapes, or any festive shape for the holidays, like a Christmas tree. 

We used regular waffles, but gingerbread flavoured waffles would be a fun addition for our theme. Chocolate chips would be a great way to specialize them for the chocolate lover.  You could also serve it with gingerbread flavoured coffee as well as a fun way to continue the gingerbread theme.

Christmas morning breakfast ideas

Ingredients for the Christmas Breakfast Board:

  • scrambled eggs
  • waffles
  • breakfast sausage links
  • crispy bacon
  • sugared cranberries
  • raspberries
  • whipped cream
  • sprinkles
  • maple syrup
  • gingerbread marshmallows

Another fun breakfast idea would be to include some breakfast pastries on the Christmas board. Mini danish, or cinnamon rolls would be a great addition. As the perfect way to make them more festive, you could add any holiday sprinkles to them, like red and green sprinkles. Mini marshmallows would be a great alternative or addition to the gingerbread marshmallows.  You could also serve with gingerbread flavoured coffee.  Hot chocolate would be a great choice for kids.

  • ¼ water
  • 1 cup cranberries
how to make sugared cranberries

Steps:

1.To begin, combine ¼ cup sugar and water in a medium saucepan.  Cook stirring over high heat until the sugar completely dissolves.  Then add in the cranberries, and stir to coat.  

2. Remove from the heat.  Remove the cranberries from the liquid with a slotted spoon, and let them sit on a wire rack or plate, for 20-40 minutes.  

3. Finally, once the cranberries are tacky and sticky, roll in the remaining ¼ sugar to coat and serve.

These are such a fun way to include some fresh berries on the board and make them extra special holiday treats for Christmas

To Assemble The Christmas Breakfast Board

We wanted to include some sweet and some savory options for our Christmas breakfast board.  We included all our favorite breakfast items.  Start by beginning the sugared cranberries, so that can sit and get sticky while you're cooking the rest of the food. Cook the sausage and bacon. Meanwhile, make the waffles with your favourite waffle mix or recipe. Whip the cream. Lastly scramble some eggs. 

To put the breakfast charcuterie board together, start by arranging the large items.  First we laid the waffles down the middle of the wooden board in a wave. Add the cast iron skillet of eggs, and the bowl of whipped cream, sprinkles, and maple syrup jug. Next arrange the breakfast meats, and fresh fruit around the other items. Use a little fresh cedar from the garden to with the fruit for decoration. Lastly add in the marshmallows, and sprinkle the whipped cream with some of the holiday sprinkles. Serve and enjoy!

This delicious brunch board, with a gingerbread theme is one of my favourite fun Christmas breakfast ideas.   This is so much fun for anytime around the holidays, Christmas eve, or Christmas day and your family and friends will love it. Instead of a regular breakfast or brunch, arrange it like this to take it to the next level.
