Christmas morning is all about being woken up at first light by excited kids ready to see if Santa came — it shouldn't be about getting into the kitchen to whip up a gourmet breakfast that takes hours (unless, of course, that's your thing). If you want an easy breakfast for your family that still feels as special as the holiday, you need a recipe that can either be prepped the night before or only takes a short time to whip up once everyone's worked up an appetite after ripping open gifts all morning.

Read through for 13 easy holiday breakfasts that your kids will love more than their presents (OK, maybe not, but breakfast will be a close second).
