We always have smoked salmon and scrambled eggs. Buck’s Fizz to wash it down. DGS doesn’t get the fizz he’s only 8.

We will have Gdcs of 3 and 4 but won't be having breakfast with them.
They will be up early and will want theirs rather earlier than parents and GPs - very likely Nutella pancakes (treat!), fruit and yogurt.

We grow ups will have ours at a more civilised hour - more of a brunch - usually smoked salmon, cream cheese and bagels, fruit, probably Bucks Fizz thrown in.

Gdcs will have their lunch at usual time, i.e. 12.30 ish, Something easy, maybe baked potatoes with beans and cheese.

We will then all have turkey dinner together at around 5, no later.

When our DC were young we always had bacon sandwiches which could be eaten while presents were being unwrapped. We didn't have time to loiter over breakfast as church was 8:15am at that time.

Usually croissants or pain au chocolate. Then a full cooked breakfast on Boxing Day.

We have sausage rolls. Made in advance and chilled or frozen, then cooked Christmas morning and served with brown sauce. The smalls think it's an amazing treat.

Any idea on something special that works well for young children?

Since our children are still young I don't think there is going to be a sit down meal at the table but rather eaten in front of the Christmas tree. We've already made raspberry jam especially for Christmas Day but am at a loss on how to serve a 'special' breakfast that doesn't involve a lot of time for me or my husband in the kitchen.
