Make-Ahead Breakfast Ideas for Christmas Morning - from Vikalinka


Hello Reader

Can we talk about Christmas morning for a second? You've survived the shopping, the wrapping, the last-minute grocery runs. The last thing you need at 7 AM on December 25th is to be stressed over a stove while everyone else is relaxing in their pajamas.

So here's what I'm doing this year, and I think you're going to want in on this: make-ahead breakfasts that do all the hard work while you sleep.

Picture this: you roll out of bed, hit the oven button, and twenty minutes later the house smells like cinnamon and butter. You're sipping coffee, watching the chaos of present-opening, maybe still in your robe. No flipping pancakes, no timing scrambled eggs, no sink full of dishes before 9 AM.

These recipes are my secret weapon. Assemble them the night before, slide them in the fridge, and let future-you enjoy all the glory!

🎄 Overnight Breakfast Casserole - Filled with vegetables, sausage, chorizo and brioche, this is a family favourite for a Christmas breakfast!

🎄 Cinnamon Rolls with Maple Cream Cheese Icing - A real special treat. They taste like they came from a bakery but are easy to make at home.

🎄 White Chocolate Brioche Bread and Butter Pudding - This is what I reach for when in the mood for something decadent. Infused with the flavours of eggnog, perfect for a sweet tooth!

🎄 Chocolate Nutella Rolls with Vanilla Sugar Glaze - Pillowy soft, filled with chocolate Nutella and topped with luxurious vanilla glaze. Just perfect!

Wishing you a flavourful week ahead!

Love,
