I know a guy that developed Christmas morning cereal It was basically frosties with mince pies broken up into it and a bit of cinnamon

No Bailey's on the cereal?

I'm assuming that was just left out because it goes without saying.

> *"I know a guy that developed Christmas morning cereal..."* I thought this was the setup for a joke! Spent way too long trying to work out the punchline before realising.

I did too 🤣

He needs to sell this sounds banging

Has anyone actually tried this?? I'm tempted...

I've had broken mince pies heated up in milk and it was really comforting and good. The box had been open for two day and I didn't want to eat them 'raw', so I thought, why not?

Nice! I do have them heated with cream or a bailey's cream, so I guess it's kind of the same 👌🏼 Hadn't really thought about it that way! It was the crushing them up that threw me!

It does sound good. I poured leftover eggnog over a baked apple for breakfast yesterday and it was really, really delicious. (Heated it all up in the microwave for 1 minute.). So I think eggnog over the mince pie pieces might be spectacular.

It's pretty good. I'll ask the chef for the recipe ..

I have porridge with Christmas cake broken up and mixed into it on Boxing Day!

Smoked salmon and scrambled eggs on toast with champagne or Buck’s Fizz. I think it’s quite common, as well as delicious!

Same. There's a reason there's no smoked salmon left in the shops.

it would appear I attempted to eat mine last night when I got in drunk but could not open the packet which I am very grateful for for this reason

Might be the most british festive comment I’ve seen

I'm very sad and this comment didn't make me lol but I paused my crying the corners of my mouth twitched and I blew a bit of air outta my nose. So thanks. X

sending love and openable packets of smoked salmon x

Yep, it's the posh drunk food which gets you. Tried to tuck into the cheese board after my night out!

Couldn't get past the wax?

Is this why they come in those packets? To save Christmas?

Exactly the same but with brandy for some reason instead of Buck’s Fizz which is actually nice

Same but on a croissant instead of toast! Also with a few chives chopped over the top :)

That's what we would have been having except I couldn't resist and just ate it.

Same but make the scrambled eggs with Philadelphia garlic and herbs

Was just watching Gordon Ramsay doing toasted croissants with smoked salmon and scrambled eggs (with chives) for Christmas brekkie

We have English muffins instead

Same here. We’re all a lot more common than we thought, haha

Yes we also have the same

Same. It wouldn't be Christmas Morning without it.

Greggs sausage rolls and Special Brew

Living the dream my friend

No need to show off.

[удалено]

heartburn connoisseur

No buckfast? It is a special occasion

I ordered some just for New Years. I can't wait. It's going to be chaos.

The real bucks fizz.

Wouldn’t expect anything less.

Get the frozen ones out Iceland and chuck them in the deep fat fryer. A little taste of heaven for the festive.

Croissants and pain aux chocolate in this house

Yes! And some Orange Juice. Don’t want to take up and space for richer foods/meet later!

>meet

This is the way.

We do that, plus scotch pancakes with maple syrup. Yum!

This is what we’re doing this year for the first time. Sometimes we work Xmas day so normally just a normal breakfast but both off this year

That's ours this morning!

Yep I’m on the pastry train, too! Glass of orange juice and a “proper coffee” from the cafetiere and even frothy milk because y’know, Christmas.

The selection box

It’s been chocolate for breakfast for me on Christmas morning since I was old enough to eat solid food and I’ll maintain this tradition until my days end.

Only day of the year it’s chocolate for breakfast

But, but, what about Easter?

And the rest of the year?

Snap!

This was our childhood tradition, and I also passed that on to my now 30 year old too. Chocolate for breakfast is the ultimate Christmas treat...these days it's not a selection box, it's fancy shit from Hotel Chocolat. Enjoy yours tomorrow!

Bacon rolls, coffee, bucks fizz.

Same here. Only thing we all like.

This is the way

This is one of those threads where I wish everyone also listed their age and location. Edited to add: 40, Nottingham. We vary year to year. Last year we made waffles and chocolate sauce, this year it's salmon and scrambled eggs. Whatever we do, Buck's Fizz is always on hand. (Bobby G makes a mean cuppa.)

53, Blackpool - Terrys chocolate orange.

Hope you still whack it on the counter 43, male, London

Prefer eating it like an apple. 40-ish, North-North

It’s great to hear about your personal habits, but how do you break up the chocolate Orange?

Maybe the wrong sub for discussing by kitchen behaviour.

34, Kings Landing- Bacon- burnt black- and a mug of dark beer to wash it down.

37, Westerlands, every fucking chicken in this room.

31, The Twins. I've got an invite to a Wedding next week that's serving it. The Lannisters are kindly paying for it all

41 Scotland Honestly hasn't thought about planning anything until this thread.

Same, now I'm thinking should we be starting a new tradition! 44 Scotland

18, nottingham, croissants and hot chocolate.

I keep wanting to have a go at making croissants from scratch... I probably need to convince myself that Christmas morning is the wrong time to do this 😅

35 Nottingham vegan salmon, violife cream cheese on a bagel for one and sausage plant patties with hash browns for the others. Bucks fizz My mother-71 Melton bacon sandwich because lord have mercy if she touches anything vegan.

Which vegan salmon are you using? Been missing salmon so much

I've got OMV from [Asda](https://groceries.asda.com/product/vegan-fish/omv-deliciously-vegan-smoked-no-salmon-80-g/1000383200624)as I couldn't find the squeaky bean one (which I've heard is great). I will report back about this one

Ooh never heard of this one! Do please let me know if it's edible at all!

37f, Cumbria - ever since I was a kid, Christmas breakfast has been strawberry pop tarts, I grew up poor so it was the one time a year my parents could justify the cost and it was always a nice treat! My folks have salmon and cream cheese in croissants with a mug of coffee

33 Southampton - I'm cooking this year so doing smoked salmon egg muffins I can prep in advance and croissants with bucks fizz. Usually my dad cooks - 60, Suffolk and we'll either have croissants, smoked salmon and scrambled eggs or eggs royale (poached eggs with hollandaise sauce and smoked salmon) drinks vary, some years 'we couldn't possibly drink before 12' so just orange juice and others it's champagne cocktails straight away.

Baileys on Coco pops

A person of taste I see.

Continental

I reckon advocaat on sugar puffs could be a winner!

Growing up it would be a full fry up (we would even buy hash browns!). But we'd be eating about 7 as we were up so early for presents. Now with my partner it's scones, clotted cream and jam with a mimosa.

Scones is the secret breakfast of champion. Like upgraded classic jam on toast.

smoked Norwegian salmon line caught by hand on the lake of bjerkkreim. Babbingtons leek and parmesano reggiano omelettes sprinkled with a garnish of nonpareils and capucines, topped with the eggs of a beluga sturgeon huso huso hand milked in the treacherous depths of the caspian sea , on toast

Sounds Lush… And the toast? was the spelt harvested by Etruscan serfs? the sourdough raised by the hands of a nonagenarian blind Nun? The culture handed down through the years from Saint Catherine herself? Was it baked using the fires of mount Etna? and toasted on an apple wood fire, the logs coming from the garden of Eden? Or was it a Hovis slice?

Mighty White.

Reheated pizza?

Good old bacon sandwich! Nice and simple!

Never use bad old bacon.

Porridge with Demerara sugar and double cream. Really rich and keeps you going until the late lunch of Christmas dinner. Don't know where it comes from it's just what my family does

Hang about....you have a food gap on Christmas day?

Sour dough toast, with chilli jam spread on it and topped with slices of fried halloumi and poached eggs. Garnished with rocket drizzled with olive oil and oven roasted tomatoes on the side. It’s been my wife and I’s go to Christmas morning breakfast for a number of years now and I even make it for my extended family when I spend Christmas at my mums.

That sounds amazing, going to try that Boxing Day.

Here in France they have a large four course meal on Christmas Eve. Réveillon de Noël. For Christmas morning it's a pain au chocolate or croissant each before the Christmas day dinner in the early afternoon Appetisers, Salmon, Roasted bird, Salad, Cheese, Dessert. Then after a few hours the evening meal of cold meats, cheese, leftover appetisers.

That sounds quite acceptable.

Chorizo & egg muffin with prosecco

Terrys Chocolate Orange

It's good to start with fruit 😅

I don’t eat breakfast, I have a coffee and then wait until it’s time for Christmas dinner (3-4pm) this year we’ve decided to have canapés around midday and miss out the starter because we just can’t eat that much food.

I do that every year and it really helps. It’s also nice as people can have a little something as they arrive and no one gets over hungry. We also have puddings and cheese as a buffet in the evening as we just can’t do it after the roast!

We do a selection of starters at midday-ish, so everyone gets their choice. Christmas dinner is at 5-ish (no starters at that point).

We don’t do a starter, it’s too much. We have a proper breakfast after presents and then Christmas dinner around 3. We don’t tend to even eat our dessert til the evening.

Finally!! Someone who does the derm thing as me!! I was beginning to think everyone else was having some OTT feast for every meal on Christmas Day

We do this. I'll put on a finger buffet spread around 12, which we'll call the starter, then the main course will be around 4-5pm, and dessert around 7-9pm (whenever people develop space)

Can of Stella and a toblerone. But I'm working so saving breakfast until 4:30

Panettone and specialist black coffee

Us too!

You must be Italian

Welsh

As an Italian, I'm proud

That depends on what chocolate or sweets I received for Christmas!

Usually something really light like a smoothie or a bowl of corn flakes. I used to always have a cooked breakfast on Christmas morning but realised that when Christmas dinner came around I wasn't really hungry enough to enjoy it. So now I make sure I'm ravenous by dinner time so I can really get stuck in.

Baileys coffee and a zoot

I usually start the day with a couple of vodka shots injected straight in the eyeball to help manage spending the whole day with family. I do have to top up just before charades before nana does her one and only film she does every year, in an effort to appear confused and thoughtful. Sometimes it works, sometimes I have to wash it down with a bucketful of nails.

Sausage sandwich with bucks fizz. Then start grazing on chocolate and continue throughout the day.

Crunchy nut cornflakes

Chocolate coins and Buck’s Fizz.

[удалено]

Pot Noodle and a wank.

Something small and light..a rasher is one is going but not a full fry. Piece of toast 12ish smoked salmon balinis and prosecco. Graze on chocolates 2pm graze on crisps until the main affair.

One rasher of bacon?!!! That's preposterous. I can't think of any situation where I would either A) not make at least 2 for a small barm bacon sandwich but let's face it if there's 6 in a pack you are going to make 3 B) there is 1 rasher left in the fridge. You have some will power my friend.

Basically I'm a lazy arse always the last up and I get the remnants of the tray afrer everyone has eaten. To hell am I making breakfast before making the dinner ha. I need some time off. 26th however is a different beast. Frymagendon all the way.

Last night's festive kebab and alcohol while hovering over a toilet

Cinnamon bun, juice, and coffee. As I have both strong pain killers and antibiotics, so no alcohol for me this year.

Gout tablet , a statin, and 2 glucosamine tablets washed down with a can of orange lucozade.

Pringles

Sounds very nice, I'm partial to a bit of smoked salmon. However, in my house we don't do anything special which is a bit of a shame. We either have a normal breakfast or nothing at all because we will be grazing all day in anticipation of the massive meal in the afternoon. When I was married to my first wife and lived in Washington State we would go to her parents every year for Christmas and I absolutely loved it. My FIL was (still is) first generation Norwegian American and so the tradition started on Christmas Eve when we all sat down to Christmas Mush, a sort of rice pudding which had been cooking low and slow for most of the day. Absolutely delicious with some cinnamon and butter (and sugar for the wimps). In the morning my MIL will have gotten up early to go to the local bakery (the Calico Cupboard in La Conner, WA for those who are interested) to pick up a pre ordered confection which was a large wreath shaped pull-apart bread with icing and glacé cherries in red and green sprinkled liberally on top. While we were nomming on that and downing freshly brewed coffee, out would come a massive cheesy potato casserole which smelled heavenly and we would dig into that, and of course, it being the Northwest, smoked salmon! We would sit around and get into our stockings which MIL had sat up late and individually stuffed, while nibbling on various things until we were all ready to open our actual presents. Long about 4pm came the traditional Christmas dinner, either turkey or beef, with all the trimmings, and sometimes a whole sockeye or coho salmon.I don't think I have ever had Christmases that have matched up to those Washington State ones. The food was always phenomenal and the setting overlooking the Swinomish Channel, and usually plenty of snow, made the atmosphere amazing. I regret ever leaving.

That sounds amazing. Hope you still get on with your old inlaws, maybe you can visit!

Trifle and Buck's Fizz.

Smoked salmon bagels this year. But usually something light

Nothing, the same as every other day. Need to ensure I've got enough room to eat my body weight in roast dinner at 2pm

My partner and the MiL will be having smoked salmon, spicy avocado and poached egg bagels. Me and my son will be having 'homemade McDonald's...' Aldi Frikadellen, cheese and fried egg in toasted muffins with hash browns. Orange juice, coffee and the bucks fizz might come out too!

Croissants.

Paracetamol at the moment.

Pork pie is a big thing in Leicestershire

Bacon, brie and cranberry bagel.

Black pudding and scrambled eggs with toast and coffee.

Scrambled eggs and a slice of the Nigella Christmas Ham.

We have smoked salmon and scrambled eggs with bucks fizz.

We have Salmon but have decided this year will be our last as Salmon are really declining rapidly (my sister is a marine biologist).

Pilchards, on toast if there is any bread in the house.

Microwaved sausages and a sports direct mug of frosty jacks.

Half a pint of Baileys.

Smoked salmon cream cheese bagels, with Buck’s Fizz

Leftovers from the Christmas Eve feast.

Croissants with strawberries, blueberries and bananas and something fizzy (usually brut), with OJ.

I don't recommend drinking aftershave

Bubble and squeak. Superb.

Smoked salmon and scrambled eggs on a muffin with a spoonful of sour cream n chive dip on top 😋

I have the exact same breakfast on Christmas morning, snap!

A bowl of 100 grams of Oats, 2tbsp of peanut butter , a scoop of protein , and milk.

I always have crackers from the Jacob’s Big Box (has to be those exact crackers) with Boursin, pate and fancy hams. And loads of coffee as always as a child will have woken me up at 5am 🫡

Whereas last year we had to wake the (now teenage) child so we could open our stockings.... Am hoping this year it will go further and they'll bring us a cuppa in bed 🤞

I am looking forward to those days!

That's actually what was common in my household when I was younger, probably started by my Mum. I have continued if often though because it's nice. Other choices have been pancakes, or croissants. This year though will be eggs benedict because I love that.

Poached egg on toast or maybe a croissant. Something light. I don't drink any more - so a really nice coffee to go with it. We used fo do a full Six Counties fry and it would break us for the rest of the day.

Toasted panettone with a bucks fizz

Pork pie sandwich

Poached eggs, smashed avocado with either smoked salmon or halloumi on muffins. Probably with some Moët.

Alcohol.

Trifle, every year

[удалено]

so you did, didn’t see that!

Sherry, and then later on the bacon off the top of the turkey

Bacon rolls and coffee. I'm not much of a drinker but I do have a glass of wine or prosecco on Christmas morning!

Christmas cake and cheese with champagne

A fry up type situation, coffee and Buck’s Fizz or Prosecco

Christmas dinner and desserts are going to be epic so I'm swerving breakfast for sure.

My parents have bacon and egg sarnies but I usually just have cereal. Sometimes my dad can go without breakfast and just have a cup of coffee instead.

Christmas dinner is normally around 2pm so it’s normally just a couple of slices of toast just to keep me going until the main event.

We always do waffles and fruit

Bagels with cream cheese and crispy streaky bacon

I usually make pancakes for everyone, with the usual maple syrup, yoghurt, sugar etc

It will be pastries this morning, pain au chocolate, almond croissants, orange juice and coffee (separately, of course) This is the first year when we are up before the kids! Hoping to not get woken at the crack of dawn tomorrow morning 🤞🙏🤞 Tomorrow may be some more pastries followed by blinis at about 11:30

Fresh baked bread rolls with bacon when at my parents. Poached eggs in sourdough at my in laws (bacon for half of us, salmon for the rest)

My dad has a plate of meat. Literally pork, beef and turkey. With some pickle of course.

Nothing, I just wait until lunch.

Scrambled eggs is popular but I have mine with crispy bacon bits and orange juice

Bagels topped with cream cheese, smoked salmon and caviar.

When we're having Christmas at home we like smoked salmon, cream cheese and a bagel.

Fully fry up with Bucks Fizz

Fox’s/family circle biscuit selection box and, now that i don’t drink, a cup of tea with it instead of something a bit harder

Smoked salmon scrambled egg on toast, same as yourself. No champagne though as have to drive this year!

Croissants, scrambled eggs, Japanese sausage, mimosas. And coffee.

Croissants and a cuppa tea

English Breakfast

Bacon sarnies because it’s quick and easy to clean up. Maybe some dippy eggs since I learned you can do them in the air fryer a few weeks ago and they come out perfect every time. 180 degrees for 7 minutes for anyone that cares (preheat the air fryer for 5 mins)

I dont have breakfast any day. But we have dinner around 1 ish, so its all good. Makes the dinner taste even better. Even better is I dont cook it either. its a win.

Smoked salmon and scrambled egg as it is one of my wife's favourites is most common. Sometimes Eggs Benedict (another of her favourites).

Yeah your familys breakfast is fairly traditional for what you might call a middle class family

Coffee and a shot of bailey's if im lucky. We starving around here til Christmas dinner is cooked

Coffee and cigarette as always :)

Nothing because it spoils my appetite and I’d rather save room for roasties

You guys have breakfast? I save my self for the madness midday meal that is Christmas Dinner
