There are so many things to be excited about on Christmas morning. For some it’s the stockings overflowing with treats or the presents under the tree. For us, it’s the promise of a special morning meal. Whether you prep an eggy breakfast casserole or a batch of ooey, gooey cinnamon rolls the night before, plan an all-out holiday brunch for family and friends or rely on quick-and-easy recipes that you can whip up in two shakes of a reindeer’s tail, there’s no happier way to start your day. No matter what kind of Christmas morning you’re planning, these recipes are sure to come in handy, starting with this gorgeous Danish Christmas bread. The ingredient list is lengthy, but you're likely to have many of the items on hand—and the rest are grocery staples. This holiday loaf is traditionally topped with coarse pearl sugar and then drizzled with an almond-flavored icing, making it a wonderful choice for any celebratory occasion.
