Christmas is just around the corner. How did that happen? Oh, right. It happens every year. Still somehow takes me by surprise, usually. But I love almost every second of it, even with the inevitable bit of holiday whiplash.

We’re all about fun little traditions around here, and one of those is finding the perfect Christmas muffins recipe and making a fresh batch for Christmas morning. Sometimes fancy, sometimes simple, always festive and delicious.

So I thought I’d round up some especially festive Christmas muffins for the big day. From gingerbread to eggnog and from cranberries to chai … you’re sure to find your perfect Christmas muffin recipe among these 7 Marvelous Muffin Recipes for Christmas Morning. (Psst: I’ve added a few along the way too; so there are now a handful more than 7!)
