Perfect for the holidays, our family loves this pumpkin spice French toast casserole, because you make it ahead, pop in the fridge, and then it’s ready to bake in the morning! We love a good eggnog stuffed french toast, and this one is everything seasonal (with pumpkin and eggnog). The dried cranberries add just the right amount of sweetness!

Why we love this breakfast casserole

This eggnog stuffed french toast is so easy to make for the holidays! Grab a 9×13 cake pan, make sure you butter it well (for the best flavor), and layer the ingredients. Cover and refrigerate overnight, to allow the eggnog pumpkin mixture and eggs to soak into bread.

Make the night before. In the morning, flip the bread over, add the simple cinnamon and sugar mixture. Bake!

You can serve this breakfast cassserole on a “board” for Thanksgiving or Christmas morning. Serve with a side of fruit, and your favorite toppings, like jam, syrup, lemon slices, and powdered sugar. 

If you love a stuffed french toast, you can also try our Banana Bread Brioche French Toast or if you’re not an eggnog lover, try our Pumpkin Maple French Toast Bake recipe!
