Cinnamon Roll Breakfast Bake

In my family, we do almost as much celebrating on Christmas Eve as we do on Christmas. I think the build up of excitement as the night goes on helps to make Christmas Day feel extra special. We have a few traditions to help celebrate the day, like watching classic movies (Home Alone 2 and A Christmas Story, anyone?), snacking on pizza for dinner, and listening to my dad read ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas before going to sleep. One tradition we’ve never had in our family is a special breakfast on Christmas morning. We usually just grab something quick so we can spend time checking out our new gifts, and helping to prepare items for Christmas dinner. This cinnamon roll breakfast bake is so delicious though, that we just might need to make room for a new tradition in our family.
