We know the morning of Christmas Day can be hectic and most of us don’t want to be spending hours in the kitchen making breakfast. Yet, we also don’t want to have an ordinary meal — it’s a holiday, after all! To enjoy a special Christmas breakfast with your family without having to stress about cooking, try our Breakfast Sausage Bake. This recipe will be a life-saver and will become your go-to holiday breakfast dish.

In our (humble) opinion, you can’t have a holiday appetizer spread without a beautiful cheese board. Never made a cheese board before? Learn how to create a simple cheese board, which is fabulous as is. However, if you really want to wow your guests with a special holiday cheese board or plate, you’ll want to check out our Festive Cabot Cheddar Tree and Holiday Cheddar Wreath.

While all of these recipes are excellent choices for Christmas cocktail party appetizers, a Christmas cheese fondue is always a fun addition to a holiday celebration. Try our Cabot Sharp Cheddar Fondue or our Cabot Cheddar & Goat Cheese Fondue.
