‘Tis the month of December…a month of celebrations, and we all know that so many holiday festivities revolve around food. While recipes for holiday cookies, appetizers, and drinks abound, I haven’t seen many full holiday brunch menus. I know that many people (my family included) eat brunch on holiday mornings and because of this, I wanted to come up with a holiday brunch menu to share with all of you! Throughout the next few weeks I’ll be posting recipes for the items on the menu…enjoy and Happy Holidays!

December 7, 2010 at 9:20 pmI love holiday brunches! We never make hot chocolate with brunch though, always as evening snacks. Strangely enough, I think your inclusion of it here is one of my favorite things about your menu :)

December 7, 2010 at 11:28 pmSounds like a great lineup of brunch yummies, Faith. Hot chocolate definitely is one of my favorites. The “everything” pastries and pink grapefruit supremes with honey and mint sure have me intrigued. Can’t wait to see your delicious creations.

Veronica says
December 8, 2010 at 1:15 amI love that it seems so light–usually all holiday food is like 50% fat and 50% sugar! The cheese ‘everything’ pastries have me curious–can’t wait to find out more about them!
Rosa says

December 8, 2010 at 9:58 amOh, WOW, Faith! I wish I was having brunch with you! I cant wait to see your recipes from the menu. I’m especially looking forward to the “Everything” cheese pastries, and I’m intrigued by the vegetarian sausage (regular sausage being one of my favorite “sometimes” foods ;) ). And, of course, you can’t go wrong with hot chocolate! You are quite the hostess, Faith! :)

Emily Z says
December 8, 2010 at 1:56 pmWhat a delicious sounding menu. The hot chocolate sounds good to me in particular, right now, seeing as I am currently bundled up in several blankets with two Dachshunds snuggled ON my lap UNDER the blankets. :)
Blond Duck says
December 8, 2010 at 3:04 pmSigh. I wanted to plan a perfect brunch, but my relatives want to go to a restaurant instead.

Diane says
December 8, 2010 at 3:28 pmThat would be just perfevt for me and then dinner in the evening. Unfortunately the family have Christmas lunch so I could never manage brunch and lunch as well. Sad, this is the perfect way to start the day. Diane

Anna Johnston says
December 8, 2010 at 6:25 pmChristmas Day can be hugely busy for a lot of people and then there is all the tripping around visiting relatives (& partners relatives), so putting together a special menu ahead of time for your favourite meal of the day is a cool idea Faith. I love brunch ideas so this is wonderful.
Tanantha @ I Just Love My Apron says
December 8, 2010 at 7:40 pmwow everything in the menu sounds fantastic! I just had sort of ” early Christmas dinner party\” with friends. It was tough to take pics while guests were waiting. I can;t wait to see your party and food pics!
Julie M. says
December 8, 2010 at 8:55 pmWhat time should I be there for brunch? :D This looks like a great menu! You are definitely a step ahead of me. I need to get on this as I’m hosting Christmas this year.
Krista says
December 9, 2010 at 2:52 pmLooks like a great menu, Faith!!
FOODESSA says
December 9, 2010 at 9:09 pmYour right…there are many holiday recipes and no one putting together the wow factor in their menus.
Brunch is my favorite Sunday meal…especially if eaten late enough…I can skip the evening supper dishes.LOL
Ciao for now,
Claudia
