These brunch ideas will win the holidays with delicious brunch recipe to feed your crowd.

Brunch is typically served buffet style, making it easy to accommodate a lot of guests with a variety of food. A brunch is perfect for the holidays because you can stay home in your comfy clothes and munch on delicious food and just enjoy some time with family and friends. It’s not as formal as an evening dinner party, so kids can also be welcome.

Some tips for implementing your brunch ideas:

Be aware of allergies. This is a big one for me so I’m listing it first as we do have several allergies in our family. If you have a nut allergy, clearly label those dishes as such. And if you use pre-packaged food, keep the packages or take a photo of the ingredients just in case.
Serve a variety of food. Finger foods and breads or coffee cakes are a great starter option, and they can be sweet like this Cranberry Coffee Cake I made or savory like the Goat Cheese appetizer.

For the main event, a ham is incredibly easy to make, just make it a day ahead, slice and reheat the morning of your brunch. Be sure to keep those pan juices!
Casseroles are also a perfect main dish as they are easy to make and can feed a lot.
