Come Christmas time, you would definitely want your breakfast to be extraordinary, and by that we mean adding a bit of sparkling wine to have the perfect champagne breakfast for the family!
It’s not long before the most festive time of the year comes. Have you thought about what to serve on the morning of Christmas day that would make it truly special? Here are some fancy ideas for the best Christmas champagne breakfast ever.

1. What is a Champagne Breakfast?
A champagne breakfast is a decadent spread of fancy breakfast food, together with a delicious glass of cold champagne. It’s the perfect Christmas Celebration meal for families when you have to visit multiple relatives in a day (except for the champagne bit, lol).
Champagne breakfasts usually consist of pastries, fresh fruits, bacon and eggs, muffins, waffles and most importantly, champagne.
2. What Time Do You Serve a Champagne Breakfast?
A champagne breakfast is traditionally served morning to mid-morning (like a brunch). This allows enough time for your visitors to arrive and to have everything ready. A champagne breakfast is likened to a fancy hotel breakfast – a vast choice of foods that you wouldn’t typically have – special foods!
3. Choosing a Menu for a Champagne Breakfast
Choosing your menu can be tricky because there are so many delicious breakfast foods! Because a Champagne Breakfast is a celebration – you want to be generous on servings.
Allow at least one serving of each dish – per person.
Choose at least:
- Three drinks per person (two alcoholic drinks for adults)
- Three cold foods per person
- Four hot food items per person
Any leftovers can be recycled to be lunch and dinner (it’s Christmas – everyone always over-caters!).
Go through all our ideas for foods below, and choose your dishes accordingly.
4. What Type of Drinks Do Your Serve at a Champagne Breakfast?
Any sparkling white wine that you enjoy! If you have a lot of visitors, have a selection of both dry and sweet champagnes or sparkling wines. Even Prosecco is a great choice! We have a list below of the most popular champagnes for champagne breakfasts if you get stuck.
If you are celebrating a significant milestone – you could even consider making a signature drink to serve at breakfast.
As well as the alcohol, have a range of tea and coffee, and a selection of juices.
It’s always easier to just set up a kettle with tea and coffee etc., all laid out so everyone can make their favourite cup their way.
5. What Champagne Should I Serve at a Champagne Breakfast?
Champagne should always be the best you can afford (and if you are on a budget – go to the Prosecco). The best idea is to buy a case of champagne online and get it delivered – many of the online stockists such as Dan Murphy’s can get you a much better deal!
