10 Christmas Morning Breakfast Ideas From TikTok For A Festive Start

Something super easy to make that is even more simple to serve is a Christmas morning casserole. Just add some white bread to the bottom of a pan, and top with sausage, cheese, eggs, bacon, cheddar cheese, milk, and salt and pepper, according to the recipe from TikToker @everythingabbs. After baking for about 30 minutes, you’ll be ready to serve. If you want to swap out the breakfast meat, Yummly’s recipe uses crispy breakfast sausage for another take on the savory morning bite.

If you know you’ll be busy with all the excitement on Christmas morning, TikToker @slami_lami has a recipe you can make ahead on Christmas Eve. This cinnamon roll bake hack from TikTok uses heavy whipping cream and brown sugar and can be easily stored in your fridge for you to just pop in the oven to warm up in the morning. Yummly also has a recipe for cinnamon roll bites that are easy for sharing with the whole fam if you want something you can grab and go.

If you really don’t have the energy to whip up something elaborate, just make a simple Christmas morning breakfast board. Think of this as a breakfast charcuterie board that your family can snack on throughout the day. Follow TikToker @malloryhudsonxo’s lead by arranging fruit, croissants, and bagels in an Insta-worthy design that is easy to grab.

For the perfect combination of sweet and savory, try these sausages wrapped in cinnamon rolls. The festive recipe comes from TikToker @mommapeaches5, and they look delicious. It’s almost like an upgraded version of pigs in a blanket.

One easy way to turn your regular breakfast into something festive is to make it green. TikToker @iamvalerieanne demonstrates how fun it can be to have just a stack of Grinch-inspired green pancakes, using food coloring. You could even make a batch of red pancakes as well and top with whipped cream and holiday sprinkles ($30, Fancy Sprinkles).

If you’re just looking for how to make an Insta-worthy plate of Christmas morning breakfast, look no further than this tutorial by TikToker @samantha.busch. In this video, you’ll learn how to use fruit and pretzel sticks to make Santa waffles and reindeer toast.

Following TikToker @zzzachariah is a real treat. Zachariah always has hilarious videos of trying different baking trends, and this pull apart Christmas tree TikTok does not disappoint. All you need to do is roll out a puff pastry and create a Christmas tree design in it. For breakfast, spread on something sweet like Nutella or cinnamon roll filling before placing the other half of your puff pastry on top.

After slicing and twisting the branches of your Christmas tree (that you’ll pull apart later), you’re ready to pop in the oven and let it bake for 15 minutes. Once that’s done, you’re ready to serve! There’s even a savory version you can enjoy for Christmas lunch.

Ready-to-bake cinnamon rolls are super easy to make on Christmas morning. You just need to pop them in the oven, but they could also be a bit more festive. That’s where this tutorial by TikToker @kalli.likethestate comes in handy. By simply arranging your cinnamon rolls in a Christmas tree shape and using food coloring in your icing, you’ll have a super cute cinnamon roll Christmas tree to serve first thing.

Another tree-rific breakfast idea is this waffle Christmas tree from TikToker @celiacnonna. Using your waffle maker at home, make waffles of various sizes to stack from largest to smallest. This will create the Christmas tree look. Decorate with fresh fruit as your ornaments, sprinkle with powdered sugar to look like snow, and enjoy!

Oatmeal is another great breakfast idea, especially if it’s just you and your partner or roomies on Christmas morning. This gingerbread man oatmeal recipe from TikToker @idahuang_ tastes just like the classic cookie and includes festive spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. If you prefer overnight oats, grab this gingerbread overnight oats recipe from Yummly that uses yogurt and chia seeds, plus a cookie house topping.
