There are few things in this world as fun as BRUNCH! One of the things that offers some close competition, though, is Christmas.
Don’t get me wrong, I love a Christmas dinner. Sometimes, though, after spending all day with family opening gifts and socializing, I’m exhausted by meal time.
This is why I LIVE for a Christmas brunch. It’s late enough you can sleep in, but early enough that everyone is still in a good mood and excited to celebrate. If your family and friends are splitting who’s hosting certain meals, try to snag the brunch spot!
If you need help pinpointing what your Christmas design style is, check out this Christmas decor post where I break down some common holiday decorating themes. Narrowing down your preferred style will help immensely when preparing to host a festive meal!
Below are 16 different options that fit within different Holiday decor themes. I hope they help to get your creative side scheming for your own Christmas brunch decor ideas.
Get the mimosas flowin’ and the holiday cheer rollin’! 🥂
Christmas Brunch Decor Ideas
1. First of the Christmas Brunch Decor Ideas: Creams and Reds
Cream and red is such a CLASSIC Christmas combo. It always looks timeless and adding some peonies to the table will really up the elegance.
2. Merry Mimosa Bar
What is brunch without mimosas? Just a late breakfast? I don’t know but it’s not a brunch I want to be a part of. Call ’em merry and make ’em festive!
3. Woodland Greenery
If you’re a recovering neutral-holic like so many of us are, green is a really good place to start. It adds a natural elegance to any space but isn’t as scary as something loud like RED. God help us all.
4. Christmas Brunch Board
A brunch board is a fantastic Christmas brunch decor idea if you want to host something a little more casual. People can pick at it as they mingle, and you don’t have to commit to a whole hour long meal with the in-laws 🙃.
5. Give a Little Gift
Truly obsessed with the idea of having little jars of jam out as gifts for your guests. They can use it during their meal or take it home for a treat later! Catch me taking home leftovers in the jar.
6. Drinks and Apps
Sometimes a whole meal is just too much of a commitment for brunch. If your guests have already had breakfast, then they’re probably just there for the booze and coffee anyway.
7. Waffle Bar
This might not be the way to go if you plan on having little ones at your holiday brunch. I can’t even comprehend the mess. But if your brunch is mostly adults and friends, how CUTE are these mini syrup bottles??
8. Pancakes and Plaid
Design inspo with a built-in theme is my kind of inspo. Utilize the pancakes and plaid theme on your invitations and invite everyone to wear their plaid pajamas as well!
9. Faux Fruit and Grapefruit
I grew up thinking grapefruit was an old person’s brunch, but have you tried it recently? It’s SO GOOD. Go classy for your Christmas brunch decor ideas and use fruit as a beautiful centerpiece!
10. Classic Red & Green Christmas
Red and green Christmas is MY KIND of Christmas. This feels like a hug from 2005 when Christmas last felt truly magical. Give your guests the gift of nostalgia!
11. Cozy Cabin
I would feel so cool and fun going to a cabin themed brunch. Christmas time always makes me want to be in cabins buried under snow, but unfortunately I live in the suburbs with no cabins within 50 miles. Cabin theme it is!
12. Understated Neutrals
These stunning gold and cream hues make a perfect Christmas brunch decor idea for someone wanting to take a subtler approach. If you’re red, green, and plaid-ed out, go for this understated and stunning table theme!
13. Farmhouse Charm

Look I know a lot of people will say farmhouse is out, but I don’t think it will ever truly be out of style. It’s too classic and too beloved by the women of my generation for it to ever fizzle out.
14. Red on Red on Red
Like I said earlier, normally I am a red and green Christmas decorator. This monochromatic red look is making me feel SO happy, though. Plus, it makes things easier for you when trying to coordinate decorations!
15. Brunch Charcuterie Board
There are essentially five basic food groups for brunch. Eggs, bacon, pancakes, sausage, and mimosas. Make the meal your decor with this charcuterie brunch board!
16. Last of the Christmas Brunch Decor Ideas: Comfy Breakfast Nook
I’m obsessed with how cozy and intimate this breakfast nook Christmas brunch decor idea is. All it takes to make a space look inviting is one too many pillows, a blanket, and a cast iron skillet full of cinnamon rolls.
