Why don’t you plan a Christmas brunch for the elderly this year? It shall be a great way to make them feel special and happy. You need a little planning for any such party as you will have to think about ideas which shall make the elders feel happy. Plan meals which are a mix of creative dishes as well as traditional  that are the favorite of your elders. If you are running short ideas while planning Christmas brunch for the elderly have a quick glance at some of the ideas offered by us.

Breads and muffins-

Any brunch is incomplete without breads and muffins. This might seem to be a sweet treat for many of your guests, but you can easily surprise them with sausage cheese muffins as a part of the brunch. Those who still choose to have sweet goodies, can have cranberry orange bread which is also rich in fiber content. Add a sticky treat to your menu, by adding praline pull-apart bread. The caramel warm sauce and pecans served with this  will be loved by the seniors. You can also include orange rolls and also a basket of cinnamon as a traditional option which shall work very well with any main dish. These baked goods work wonderfully with juices and coffee.

Casseroles –

These are a good way to serve a large group of people. You just need to know the favorite dishes of elders and then prepare a casserole which shall suit their individual tastes. Suppose, your group is fond of hash browns and sausage, you can prepare a hash brown breakfast casserole. This dish is a great combination of traditional flavors and is quite easy to serve also. You can include the traditional flavors of foods such as eggs and pork sausage. Confetti omelet casserole is one of those dishes which shall help you to evoke a real Christmas feeling which everyone shall truly enjoy. This is a brilliant combination of fresh parsleys and also red of pimentos.

Desserts –

Seniors are fond of desserts- include pies, puddings, cakes,  custards, fruit desserts, ice-creams, smoothies and milk based traditional food items which will be loved by all. Try not to include frozen desserts as these shall not be a great option for the seniors due to health issues.

Beverages –

Any party is said to be incomplete without the right selection of beverages. When you are planning a party for the elderly, you should include traditional drinks like  hot tea and coffee for your guests. An Irish coffee can be a great option too. Serve Irish whiskey with a great helping of heavy cream and sugar. Do not forget to include some fresh juices along with raspberry and strawberry smoothies for some added taste.
