A Heartwarming Christmas Morning Menu

Complement this eagerly anticipated day with a robust breakfast amid the company of those you love. On the following pages, find inspiration for a merry tablescape and a heartwarming Christmas morning menu.


COMFORT & JOY

Holiday Cinnamon Wreath

It’s bright and early, but spirits are boisterous—ready to embark on the revelry we await all year. Keep the ambience cozy with table décor to match the festal mood with red, green, gold, and classic holly motifs on the linens and china.

Striped napkins provide a contrasting pattern, while translucent dinner dishes and goblets add a subtle verdant touch alongside lustrous chargers and flatware. A tray topped with a cedar wreath holds potted amaryllis, red tulips, and a medley of ornaments, swirls of ribbon, and pears that hint at the meal ahead.
