20+ Christmas Brunch Ideas

Around here, brunch is a holiday tradition. I like to invite extra family and friends to join us too.

We eat way too much food and play games, usually well into the afternoon. It’s one of my favorite parts of the Christmas holiday.

As far as I’m concerned, nothing says Christmas quite like meals together with family. Whether it’s a turkey dinner, a special movie night with appies, or breakfast and presents around the tree on Christmas morning, good food is an integral part of the holiday season.

Eating together is such a great way to connect with the people we love. There are a few brunch dishes that I make every year, but I’m always on the lookout for new things to try.

If you’re like me, I want to help make your search a bit easier. Below, I have created a list for you of some of the best Christmas brunch ideas for the big day!

Supplies:

Ingredients to have on hand:

  • Maple syrup, perfect for pancakes or waffles

  • Add extra veggies, like chopped spinach, red onion, or cubed sweet potatoes, to egg dishes for more color.
  • On a platter, create a fruit Christmas tree using your favorite fruits. Or simply put together a big batch of fruit salad.
