New toys are the not only shining star on Christmas Morning, this Christmas Breakfast Board will help full everyone belly. 
It’s almost Christmas!!! And although the holiday season has so many great moments and fun, the best part is always Christmas morning. Both Milo and Ruth are loving the holiday season, especially with the advent calendar daily happenings. From hot chocolate dates, board game nights and surprise waffles after looking at Christmas lights, they have loved the something fun and festive throughout the month. Since we know Christmas morning can be incredibly hectic and busy this Christmas Morning Charcuterie board is perfect and will bring a new festive tradition.
I packed this board with two types of pancakes – gingerbread & peppermint chocolate chip! Then you fill it in with some bacon, sausage and fruit and of course serve a nice helping of whipped cream and butter on the side.
The best part is you can totally make all of this stuff the day before if you want. Heck you can make pancakes this week and freeze them! Just put you oven to 350 and lay them in an ever layer for 8-10 minutes until they are warmed up. You can also cook bacon in the oven – or maybe even make Maple Pepper Bacon! No matter how you do it, do it with love and Christmas cheer! 🙂
Oh and always serve with a large side of maple syrup and coffee, lots and lots of coffee!!
You can always add in a dash of red and green sprinkles!!

Thanks for sharing! How far ahead of time can I make it?
Most everything can be made ahead, just needs to be warmed up before serving. We suggest either the oven or air fryer!
