A Christmas brunch is a meal eaten either on Christmas morning or Christmas day, i.e., can be eaten as a breakfast or a lunch to celebrate the holiday. It can be a casual breakfast with coffee and treats or a more elaborate spread with casseroles, frittatas, and other dishes. 

Christmas brunch is the perfect time to gather with loved ones, savor comforting flavors, and celebrate the season in style. Imagine indulging in fluffy gingerbread pancakes, caramel pecan French toast, or an elegant smoked salmon egg bake.
