Quick & Easy Festive Holiday Croissants

Festive Holiday Croissants are perfect for an easy Christmas brunch idea. The colors of the season in both taste and appearance.

Filled crescent rolls with pistachios, cranberries and drizzled with white chocolate. These Christmas croissants are sure to be a hit. You will want to make these holiday cream cheese pinwheels too.

Ok, the holiday season is officially here. Have you started shopping (or even thought about it)? What about all that holiday baking, do you have a favourite gingerbread cookie recipe?

Although things may be a little different this year, I am getting into the holiday spirit even earlier than before. I have already made 2 batches of my holiday granola.

The outside lights are up (and lit). The house is half decorated, and the tree is going up this weekend. The stockings will be hung, and the Christmas baking will begin.

Before we know it, we will be consumed by all the holiday festivities. You know, your “to-do” list will just keep getting longer and longer, and you will wonder if you will get it all done in time.

RECIPE and INSTRUCTIONS for these stuffed croissants can be found at the bottom of this post.

Do you have a traditional Christmas breakfast recipe? For us, Christmas Morning Sandwiches are a MUST. A tradition for many, many years. Now even the grandkids get excited to eat them.

Christmas Croissants For Brunch

Who doesn’t love fresh-baked croissants? The aroma alone gets your mouth watering. Now just imagine a croissant filled with holiday flavours, then drizzled with white chocolate. Red, green, and white just like the colours of Christmas.

These little gems are perfect for brunch, and they make a quick and easy dessert too. You will need:

• crescent rolls
• pistachios
• dried cranberries
• white chocolate

One of my favourite holiday cookies are Oatmeal Cranberry . I could eat the whole batch myself. The flavour combination is great, and they freeze well too. Easier to hide away from early cookie stealers!!

Taking my cookie recipe and turning it into a roll was such a great idea. So simple to make, and oh so delicious to eat. You will have a hard time just eating one, but hey it’s the holidays….that’s what all the gym memberships in January are for right?

Making Filled Crescent Rolls

With the help of that cute little Pillsbury doughboy, take some stress off yourself. Of course, if you really want to, by all means, prepare the dough crescent roll dough from scratch.

Pick up a can of biscuit dough while you are shopping. These Breakfast Biscuits are a hit in my house. Loaded with bacon and eggs, these are baked in a muffin tin. Perfect for any meal of the day.

• Preheat the oven
• Prepare a baking sheet
• Unwrap the dough
• Sprinkle on the nuts and cranberries
• Roll
• Bake
• When cool, drizzle with melted white chocolate
• Decorate with sprinkles (optional)
• ENJOY!!
