Cheery & Festive Christmas Day Brunch Inspiration

After Presents Are Unwrapped, Set the Scene for an Indulgent Mid-Morning Brunch

Christmas morning brunch became a tradition for my family only when my mom had to start waking US up rather than the other way around, around the same time when we began to appreciate having a food coma-inducing brunch just as much as the presents under the tree.  Though our menu usually consists of fancy homemade french toast and crispy bacon, we’re pretty much on the same page as MKR here; share a meal that makes you throw the calorie count out of the window and bask in all things cozy.  And yes, we’re definitely still in our pajamas to enjoy our Christmas Day brunch too! 

In this amazing Christmas Day brunch photoshoot pulled from the archives and shared in our 40-page holiday guide, MKR serves a spread worthy of leisurely indulgence atop a masterfully set tablescape that’s wonderfully cheery and festive.  The menu?  Think warm, flaky, buttery croissants (the classics of course, but also chocolate!) and a goat cheese and spinach quiche with fresh orange juice, and a little bit of bubbly. 

Needless to say, the entire spread (including this stunning hanging wreath DIY) is drop dead gorgeous and well-worth archiving right in time for the big day.  Head over to the original post to be even more inspired.  Cheers, Kat
