It's that time of year. Time for all things Christmas! I am having a lot of fun taking out the Christmas tree, and starting to decorate the house. Now I'm begining to think about what to make for Christmas brunch. 

Every Christmas Eve, I usually make overnight cinnamon rolls. But because this year has been so busy, and with 2 young kids staying up way past their bedtime most nights, I wanted our Christmas morning breakfast to be something quick and easy. These Easy Reindeer Cinnamon Rolls are perfect for busy mornings.

These adorable reindeer cinnamon rolls are going to be a staple in our house over the holiday season. They are so much fun to make, and are such whimsical treats for Christmas morning. My kids love the charming reindeer face, and I love them paired with a cup of tea. It is such a delicious way to kick off the holiday season.

Tips

Storage: Store these cinnamon roll reindeer in an airtight container at room temperature for 3 days, or in the fridge for 7 days. I would suggest not adding the pretzels or the m&ms as the pretzels will go stale and soggy, and the m&m color may bleed into the cinnamon rolls.

Swap out the nose: ​If you didn't want the little reindeer to have a red nose, use something brown or orange. Some of my favorite swaps are Reese's miniature peanut butter cups or orange gumdrops.

Make your own cinnamon buns. ​Don't want to use canned cinnamon rolls? Use your favorite simple cinnamon roll recipe!

Don't have candy eyeballs? Use chocolate chips to make chocolate chip eyes instead!
