So, when it comes time for brunch, the Drummond family goes all out. They usually have fried quail, biscuits, and gravy on their Christmas breakfast menu. Plus, Ree's cinnamon rolls are a holiday must! Luckily, we've got those recipes and so much more, including make-ahead breakfast casseroles, gingerbread muffins, and Christmas morning punch. So go ahead and put on those matching family pajamas because this year is going to be the most festive one yet.

In fact, you can even prep a lot of these recipes on Christmas Eve so all you need to do in the morning is heat them up. For example, the sausage breakfast casserole can be fully assembled, covered, and refrigerated up to two days in advance—it'll make your holiday morning even easier.
