We have good friends who do an annual Christmas brunch where they invite all their friends into their home to celebrate the season over delicious food. I think it’s such a wonderful tradition and a great way to gather with the people who are special to you. Dinners can be so difficult to plan during the holiday season because of all the other things going on, so a brunch tends to be much more convenient for people!

So I thought it was only appropriate to pull together a Christmas Brunch Menu Plan with some wonderful and inspired recipes from some of my favorite food blogging friends!

Brunch is special because it bridges two meals, allowing a lot of flexibility in your menu planning. I’ve got appetizers, salads and sides, savory AND sweet options for main dishes, along with some great non-alcoholic beverage options, and of course, dessert!

Check out the inspiration below and be sure to let me know in the comments what your favorite Christmas traditions are!
