Let’s start with brunch!

CHRISTMAS BREAKFAST CASSEROLE

Let’s start with Christmas morning! I’ve made this scrumptious sausage casserole for decades. Now my sister makes it and my grown children make it too!

This Christmas my children and little grandchildren will be here with us so Christmas Breakfast Casserole will be on the Christmas brunch menu.

I love this simple recipe because it’s made the night before and refrigeratored overnight and baked off the next day! This makes preparing Christmas brunch so so easy!

SLOW COOKER CHRISTMAS CANDY CANE HOT CHOCOLATE

One of the most fun things I make during the Christmas season is a delicious peppermint slow cooker hot chocolate! It’s rich and has a faint flavor of peppermint!

Serve this hot chocolate in a big mug with lots of marshmallows and a candy cane!

Christmas Candy Cane Hot Chocolate is the perfect libation for watching a Christmas movie, especially Elf because candy canes are one of an elf’s three main food groups.

MY FAVORITE CHRISTMAS COOKIES

One thing I love to bake is cookies! Expecially Christmas Cookies!

I’ve also compiled 10 of my Favorite Christmas Cookies! They are the ones I make over and over every year. And one recipe that makes 5 different cookie flavors! That wonderful Cookie Box Recipe was new to me last year and I’m making again this year!

Tomorrow starts a week of Christmas cookie baking!

Oh, yum! Check out the cookies I’m makings this year!

This Holiday Beef Brisket is a seriously delicious main dish for Christmas dinner and it is just so easy to make! There are only three ingredients that go in the slow cooker to make all the Christmas main dish goodness!

HOLIDAY PINECONE CHEESEBALL RECIPE WITH THREE CHEESE BALL RECIPES

Isn’t this the prettiest and most festive cheese ball? And it looks like a Christmas pinecone!!!!!

I love to make this for family and friends because I always get ooooh’s and aaaah’s!

And I love this cheese ball because I can make it in three different flavors. I’ve just added three new and scrumptious cheese ball recipes. And they are delicious!

You can make the Holiday Pinecone Cheese Ball recipes up ahead then all you have to do is add the rosemary and cranberry garnish and crackers!

FIZZY CHRISTMAS CRANBERRY AND ORANGE SHRUB WITH FRESH ROSEMARY

This is a very beautiful and delicious Christmas punch called a shrub. A shrub contains fruit and vinegar to create a tangy sugary mix! Originally it was non-alcoholic but we make it with Prosecco or Champagne.

We first drank a Christmas shrub in Williamsburg Va and it was so good I have made one during the holidays for years!

Fizzy Christmas Shrub can be made into an alcoholic libation or a refreshing non-alcoholic drink. It’s just so good and so special!

BEAUTIFUL CRANBERRY ORANGE BUNDT CAKE

The recipe for Cranberry Orange Bundt Cake went viral on Pinterest!

Everyone loves the pretty festive look and taste of this cake! And no wonder, it is easy to make and tastes absolutely divine!

And this recipe has a link to the Sugared Cranberries that make this cake look so festive! Even if you don’t make the cake the little cranberry jewels are worth making! They burst in your mouth and pop with fresh cranberry flavor!

I made the Cranberry Orange Bundt Cake for the first time last year and my family loved it so much I’ll be making it again for our dessert this Christmas!

O, CHRISTMAS TREE CHEESEBOARD

Serving an appetizer that looks like a Christmas tree is the best way to start a conversation at your Christmas gatherings!

Choose the hard and semi-hard cheeses you like best and add fruit and shape it in the form of a Christmas tree!

O, Christmas Tree Cheeseboard so easy, fun and yummy!

I hope these Christmas recipes have helped your Christmas menu planning! Have a Merry and Delicous Christmas, my friend!
