We celebrate with several traditions during the holiday but one of my favorites is serving a Christmas breakfast! It doesn’t have to happen on Christmas morning…in fact that could prove to be chaotic! But during the month of December I’ll often set up a cheerful buffet of easy & delicious serve-yourself goodies…and it’s especially fun to do when there’s visiting kids in the house! This year’s fun was inspired by my passion for plaid…and a twist on a familiar reindeer! I’m excited to share these ideas in collaboration with some talented friends so you can help your peeps wake up to a GOOD MORNING!
set up some Christmas breakfast cheer!
giggle living may have received payment and/or product. however i only endorse products i love and all opinions are my own
simple products can create a wonderful display…sheets of paper, gift boxes, & bows dress up a festive buffet!
the papers squares create a fun backdrop…but i also lined them up together to make a “table runner”! strips of pom fringe finish off the edges of this disposable table decoration!
eating, drinking, and merry-making can happen any time of day…i love these cute napkins from Sprinkles & Confetti
and i had fun decorating the drinks with printables by BellaGrey Designs. just print, cut and wrap!
they’re so darling on the chocolate milk filled bottles…a sweet treat on the breakfast table!
plaid is such a favored holiday pattern and i adore these plates for adding some traditional elements to my whimsical setup!
did you notice the festive guys in the background? inspired by the paper, i transformed some leftover cupcake picks with paint & a paper punch…always see if you can recycle before you buy!
breakfast sausage sliders look pretty happy all lined up under a paper “package”!
so do the cinnamon rolls on a dessert stand embellished with jingle bells…an additional way to mimic the red noses on the deer!
tiny forks look cute and can help prevent messy fingers…but no guarantees!
i discovered these egg-filled bagel bites and they’re a hit with my family! i served them up on a wood wall hanging…
it’s another whimsical way to add a reindeer element to the table and these wood shapes are often inexpensive too!
other affordable serving ideas are to use gift boxes as platforms…and simple stickers to make frosty DIY toppers!
mini pancake stacks are easy and a favorite breakfast option…
raspberries also mimic the reindeer’s red nose AND taste pretty good too!
serve up a Christmas breakfast surprise and watch your family smile!
eat, drink and be merry…for breakfast!
pin for later~

Thanks Carolina! I had fun recycling those! And did you notice we put extra icing on the cinnamon rolls? My boys love cream cheese icing so I’ll often add some to the top! Yum!

You thought through everything! Love all the red nose details. That paper design is amazing and using the wooden deer head as a serving tray is genius! Not to mention a really yummy breakfast menu!
