An easy Christmas Morning Breakfast Spread

Share

You guys know that I love Whole Foods Market 365 for all of my holiday spreads.

I love that the ingredients are high quality, fresh, local, and best of all, they’re affordable! My local Independence Heights store always treats me right. 

I like to do the least work at the holidays – I’m not the hostess with the mostess, but I like it to appear that I am really, really good at entertaining! 

It’s always the biggest joy to me to walk into Whole Foods Market 365, and I know that I’m going to get exactly what I need. 

So, What am I picking up this year?

The Christmas Morning Breakfast Spread

I don’t know about you guys, but I like to have a quick spread prepped for Christmas Morning so we’ve got things to snack on and we can open gifts. 

It’s Christmas after all, so why not have a moment of indulgence? This year I picked up the Chris Cookies Holiday Cookie Tray to add to the table. I think it’s fun to have some sweets at the breakfast table.

I also love the grab and go options from the Whole Foods Market 365. Their Hot Bar offers so many options that are fit for even the pickiest eater. 

I also picked up some Pink Lady apples.

I always like to have fresh fruit that we can all pick up at the table. Whole Foods Market 365 has some giant and delicious ones that totally match the table with a nice pop of red.  

The Christmas Mule

Of course we can’t forget about the champagne!

I also picked up Jacques Bardelot Brut Champagne.

Let’s just say every Christmas morning needs a cocktail at the table! Some folks like mimosas, but I like dreaming up a new creation every year.

This is one of the best holiday drinks I’ve ever created, and I hope you love it!

I’m leaving the recipe below, but for now, check out this photo!
