I love Chanukah time. It gives me a chance to make a cozy, snowy, magical time of year even more special for my family. And I have 8 nights (or 8 opportunities) to do something amazing for them!
Whether it be to give my loved ones special little gifts each night, one extra-special and lavish gift that they’ll cherish forever, or a very festive meal- I just love it all!
Making a special Chanukah-themed breakfast is a great way to make special memories, and it’s pretty inexpensive and easy to pull off.
Each breakfast idea below is super easy to put together and will surely put a smile on your family’s faces.
Pick one, pick two, or pick them all! Even better? Make them with your kids! And as always, have fun!
