Since I was a little girl, our Christmas morning tradition has been to have a breakfast Christmas wreath. My family has continued the tradition and it's an expected part of the holiday. But a number of years ago, we added a Christmas Eve breakfast tradition as well: Christmas French Toast.
It's quick and not too terribly bad for you. But most of all it it so fun and really tasty. My kids look forward to having it every year.
Warning: Get your egg nog early! It seems to run out early and since it's seasonal, it won't be restocked. We like to use the light variety (which, honestly, still isn't very good for you) when we can find it.

Those are so freaking cute. My son saw the picture and jumped up and down. He’s dying to try these!
Caroline, I’m glad he liked the idea. Hope you have as much fun with this as we do. 🙂
That is so cute! I love it.
