Pomegranate Cranberry Mimosas {& a Christmas Breakfast Hop}

Thanks to my friend Jo-Anna from A Pretty Life for organizing this Christmas breakfast hop today! I might have you covered on the drink front; but several of my blogging friends are sharing their Christmas breakfast ideas today as well! Make sure to check them out at the bottom of this post!

I’ve recently been working on a Christmas Traditions writing project with my Grade 4/5 class and it makes me reflect upon the traditions that we have in my own family. Like many families, we have specific special customs that we follow each year and that we look forward to as the holidays approach.

I love our Christmas Eve appy get-togethers. The past few years our whole family (from both sides) congregates at our house and we all bring something to share. We have some wine, visit, and the kids have a fabulous time with their cousins. Although the form of Christmas Even may change slightly from year to year, it is definitely one of my favourite family holiday traditions.

Then there’s Christmas morning.

We start the day with coffee while the boys have a light snack, and then we take our time watching them open their stockings. The fireplace is roaring; the lights of the Christmas tree are glowing; if we are lucky there is a light snowfall. We have Christmas music playing in the background, and we feel warm, cozy, and so happy to be together while the flakes float gently to the ground.

I’m usually “the elf” and hand out the gifts one at a time; we watch one another open our gifts and take time to appreciate and thank each other.

It’s a time to be prolonged and enjoyed; not rushed through.

After gift opening it’s time for Christmas breakfast!

My favourite breakfast of the year.

We generally make bacon (a rare treat at our house), along with hash browns, scrambled eggs, toast, orange juice, and breakfast mimosas.

Like these slightly tart and sweetly delicious pomegranate cranberry mimosas…

To make each of these, just combine…

1/4 cup of pomegranate juice
1/2 cup of cranberry orange juice
1/2 cup of champagne
pomegranate seeds to garnish

Simply pour the ingredients into each glass, garnish with the pomegranate seeds, and serve! Perfect for enjoying on Christmas morning… or even for celebrating New Year’s Eve!

Slightly sweet, slightly tart, and totally refreshing. You’ll love them!

As I mentioned, I’ve joined up with a group of my fellow Canadian blogging friends to share some Christmas breakfast inspiration with you today! I can’t wait to check out all these delicious looking ideas…

  2. Thank you for sharing a glimpse into your Christmas traditions. We too get together with extended family on Christmas Eve, and try to take things slow Christmas morning. These mimosas look tasty!

  3. Mimosas are my favorite! This recipe not only looks delicious, but it also is so festive in appearance! I’m definitely going to be sipping on one of these, Christmas morning!
