It All Starts with a Plan
Before we hop into tasty recipes, let’s start with the most important thing: a plan. The holidays are full of planning. Fortunately, planning a Christmas brunch can be super easy and stress-free. All you need to do is answer a few questions:- Will it be more formal, with people seated at the table?
- Or casual, with people sitting around the living room?
- Will you be doing the cooking?
- Or will it be a potluck?
Hosting Christmas Brunch
Send the Invites Once you’ve decided to host brunch, invite people! This could be as simple as sending a text message or social media event invite. Pro Tip: If you really want to up the ante, add an optional dress code! Perhaps you request that everyone show up in festive pajamas, wear crazy holiday socks, or don an ugly sweater. Deck the Halls You’ve invited people and now the time has come to decorate. This step is easy since you’ve probably already got your holiday decor out on display. You can leave it at that, or opt for a few extra touches like:- A festive tablecloth to set the mood
- Themed utensils and serveware (think: gold or red and green)
- Fun costume accessories such as headbands or hats
