Happy Friday, gang! And Merry Christmas! I’m certain everyone is in overdrive, like me, pulling the last-minute details together for the big day! I’m ready for our White Elephant gift exchange on Christmas Eve. For thirty years, I’ve served charcuterie boards for Christmas Eve, then switched gears for Christmas Brunch with our favorite casseroles from Skiers French Toast, Sausage Egg Casserole, and a Chocolate Chip Coffee Cake. Oh, and I can’t forget lox and bagel, along with a Bloody Mary and Mimosa Bar. Nothing fancy, just family favorites year after year. Today we are sharing an easy recipe for a holiday brunch, if that’s on your agenda this holiday week. We also have a really delicious Iced Egg Nog Latte! You can certainly make this a mocktail, but we added a little whiskey.
Just like every Friday, today I am keeping my outfit simple, a casual outfit elevated by Velvet Pants from Frances Valentine. Velvet has the power to elevate any outfit and it’s so festive for the holidays. A Striped Tee topped with a Half Zip Sweater mixes casual comfort with elegant velvet pants to create a cozy winter ensemble.
Add another festive element like gold block heel pumps and you’re set! These Mary Mini Block Heels are also from Frances Valentine, they’re nearly sold out in most sizes, so try the Vanessa Block Heel Pumps from Talbots if your size is sold out.

How could I pass up wearing bright red corduroys for our casual holiday brunch?! These Sailor Slim-Wide Pant in Stretch Corduroy are just the ticket for a casual yet festive holiday outfit. I have the chino version of this style from J.Crew, and I have to say that the corduroys are perfect for winter with their heavier weight.
A goes-with-everything grey Cashmere Sweater tops my cords, and don’t think you can’t mix candy apple red with rich maroon – these two colors are everywhere in 2024 and when paired, they bring out the best of each other.

This is such a fun way to enjoy eggnog! An Iced Eggnog Latte has such wonderful Christmasy flavors and makes a great brunch drink for a holiday brunch. You can make it as fancy as you like with whipped cream and flavored syrups, or just keep it simple and serve over ice.
This is a great brunch dish for a group because you can make everything but eggs, and keep them warm until you’re ready to make the eggs. And for the eggs, if scrambled eggs are preferred, go for it! This is supposed to be a simple and hearty holiday brunch dish – and it’a crowd pleaser, for sure.
Oscar, Ollie, Kelly, and I wish you a lovely weekend and Happy Holidays!
