Simple holiday breakfasts that always bring the merry and bright

From leading up to the big day to the hunger after opening all the presents, some simple holiday breakfasts start the day with a little merriment. While some families have traditional recipes and other food choices, the holiday season doesn’t have to be filled with elaborate offerings. Sometimes easy is the morning mantra that everyone needs.

Luckily, there are many holiday themed breakfast ideas that are within reach. For example, Cap’n Crunch brought back its Christmas Crunch. The classic cereal has a colorful upgrade with red and green holiday shapes.

While the classic Cap’n Crunch flavors are in the bowl, the theme makes it fun. From the holiday sweater game on the back of the box to just enjoying a classic cereal, a bowl of Cap’n Crunch always brings the smiles.

If the milk has run out, consider opening a box of the Entenman’s Butter Cookie Little Bites. Even though many people have been baking all season long, these little mini muffins bring that sweet, yet buttery flavor. While the kids love to pop these mini muffins bite after bite, older guests will love them, too.

For people who want to do a little extra because it is a holiday, consider making muffin skewers. Using a long stick, stack the Little Bites with some pieces of strawberries or other fruits. Plus, it is an easy way to get a little more fruit into the day.

If the Entenman’s Little Bites are getting transformed, why not make a breakfast board where everyone can graze all morning long. Birch Benders offers a variety of pancake mixes that appeal to many food choices.

Consider dying some of the pancake batter to make swirl pancakes or waffles. And, use some cookie cutters to create pancake shapes. While the look is impressive, it is one of the simple holiday breakfasts.

Also, the apply the skewer idea to pancake or waffle stacks. Alternate pancakes/waffles and pieces of bacon or sausage on the stick. After all, doesn’t food on stick always make people happy?

Lastly, maybe the best solution isn’t to make but to buy. The Krispy Kreme Let It Snow Collection has been a huge hit this holiday season. From the adorable little penguin to the Santa Belly doughnut, there are plenty of reasons to buy a couple of dozen doughnuts.

These ideas are just a few of many simple holiday breakfasts that will make everyone feel a little more cheer for the start of the day. Even if the stress levels are over the top and chaos seems overwhelming, the holidays will pass. Don’t miss out on a few holiday food treats; Santa wants you to have them.
