Spring is upon us, and the next big day on the calendar for many of us is Easter. What are your Easter family traditions?
Easter festivities have long been catered to young kids — dying eggs, photos with the Easter bunny, Easter egg hunts, and endless Instagrammable moments of children wearing bright colors. But why should kids have all the fun on this happy holiday? Here are some eggcellent Easter family traditions to start this year.
Like any proper celebration, your Easter family traditions always deserve the most fitting food. While other holidays may be prime cheese board season, Easter is a chance to build a brunch spread to rival them in both classic tastes and appearance.
This pancake board features various toppings (butter, syrup, blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, bananas, and chocolate chips) with sides of bacon and eggs available for each person to customize their own plate. While you pour orange juice for the kids, don’t forget to serve up an Easter morning mimosa using bright, dry prosecco for your adult guests.
Now that everyone is satisfied (especially Uncle-what’s-his-name already dozing on the couch), it’s time for activities.
Before everyone parts ways, one final thing remains (besides brunch seconds): dessert.
Kids will love a crazy twist on dessert. Use colorful Peeps marshmallows and chocolate from the Easter candy hunt to make Easter-themed s’mores.
Adults won’t be able to resist a more, shall we say, mature offering like carrot cake with a tasty beverage. When it’s easy to reach for a bottle of wine, try a little different angle with a complex Pinot Noir. Alternatively, enjoy dessert with a smooth cream ale. If you’re feeling especially brave, opt for a double IPA that provides crisp yet rich hops with a strong backbone to play to the rich carrot cake and icing.
Your new Easter family traditions just might become the yearly favorites everyone looks forward to each spring. Happy Easter!
