Planning the Perfect Christmas Dinner

With it being July 4th it’s the perfect day to talk about planning the perfect Christmas Day spread. I don’t know about you but this was the most stressful thing last year for me. It was the first Christmas that we stayed home and my in-laws came over for dinner. So I’m getting a head start this year.

Don’t worry I have been on the hunt for some yummy holiday treats that you might want to save for the holiday season.

Santa’s Sweet Tooth: Decadent Christmas Breakfast Treats

Let’s kick this off with some yummy breakfast choices that are super cute and look delicious

• Donut Christmas Tree This is such a cute idea and so easy to do. I will definitely be adding this to my list this year. Maybe as a goodbye from their Elf!
• Christmas Tree Danish This looks so easy and yummy. I have added these to our try list. I will keep you updated on how they turn out!
• French Toast Bake We are big French toast fans in our house so this is going to be perfect for a Christmas morning treat.
