There are many traditions and celebrations during the holidays. Some people host various parties, fix different recipes, or open gifts on Christmas eve. Some families have dinner on Christmas, but what do you do for breakfast or lunch? Why not start a new tradition on Christmas by planning a Christmas brunch? Wedding and Party Network has a few tips on planning a brunch that your family and friends will love.
Perfect timing – Who do you plan on inviting? Close friends and family members are great guests to invite. Since most families open their gifts that morning or even on Christmas eve, a brunch is great. It gives everyone time to open gifts and get ready.
Holiday decorations – Since your house will already be decked out for the holidays, no decorations required. The only thing you might decorate is the table and the food table. Come up with a festive table centerpiece for your dining table and food table. Don't forget the table linens, tableware, and servingware. A fun accent is to have place settings made of Christmas ornaments. It can serve as a party favor as well and your guests will want to put them on their tree as soon as they get home.
What's on the menu – Think about serving various pastries, such as cinnamon rolls, scones, and muffins. Even have doughnuts for brunch. Make sure to display them as a doughnut tower to create depth for your table. Plus, it's a fun way to serve doughnuts. Also, serve fruit kabobs, casseroles, gingerbread waffles, french toast, or a candy cane coffee cake. There are many recipes to try out for your Christmas day brunch. For drinks, set up a mimosa bar, hot chocolate bar, and have all your juices ready to go.
Start a new Christmas day tradition with a brunch. It's a great time to spend with close friends and family.
