Merry Christmas!
For kids and adults alike, Christmas morning is a culmination of anticipation that makes everything feel magical. But in all the excitement of waking up, spending time with family and opening gifts, you still need to eat. Christmas morning breakfast should be as special as the day itself. Ideally, it should also be quick to prepare or easy to make-ahead so no one is stuck in the kitchen away from the rest of the family. Here are ten easy breakfast ideas for a magical Christmas morning.
Vegan Santa Pancakes

Cinnamon Roll Christmas Tree
There’s something very “old school” about a Cinnamon roll Christmas tree, which is why I love them so much! The center roll is always the best one.
