Tempting as it is to scoff the chocolate coins and Terry's Chocolate Orange from your stocking and then get on with the rest of the day, having a truly celebratory breakfast really makes the start to Christmas Day special.

- Smoked salmon and scrambled eggs
- Pancakes with assorted toppings - try this delicious pancake recipe
- Croissants/Pains au chocolats/pastries
- Just chocolate - possibly with the stocking satsuma/clementine too!
- Cooked breakfast
- Smoked salmon bagels
- Muffins: maybe this blueberry muffins recipe or festive cranberry & orange muffins?
- Waffles
- Fresh bread/rolls and ham/cheese
- Irish coffee
- Eggs Benedict
- Shakshouka
- Tea and biscuits
- Mince pies and cream

And Bucks Fizz or Champagne is fairly ubiquitous!
