I am in Christmas movie overdrive right now.

I’ve watched Christmas Vacation, Home Alone, A Christmas Story, Prancer, and Elf more times than I care to admit this season. And that’s just naming a few.

I love those cheesy Lifetime and Hallmark Channel movies (please don’t judge), and always tune in to ABC Family Channel if a good movie is showing.

And Christmas music? I’ve been listening to that since before Thanksgiving. There’s a radio station in my area that will start playing Christmas music 24/7, through Christmas day, and that starts about two weeks before Thanksgiving. So I’ve gotten my fill of “All I Want For Christmas” and “Santa Baby” one too many times.

What can I say? Since I work from home and am either sitting in front of my computer or whipping up goodies in the kitchen, I love to have some background noise to entertain me.

But when I tasted this Caramel Eggnog French Toast Bake, all thoughts of Christmas movies left my mind and it was just me and this delicious dish. That’s right, this breakfast launched me into a savory and sweet state of mind.

What makes this french toast bake so special (besides the eggnog) is the sweetener in here. I used SPLENDA®, which is a no calorie sweetener that gives you all the taste of sugar, without all of the calories. SPLENDA® can be used is cooking and baking, almost anywhere that sugar is used.

And that’s why I love SPLENDA®. It’s a great way to live a balanced lifestyle by swapping out regular sugar for the no calorie version. Did you know that swapping one cup of sugar with one cup of SPLENDA® No Calorie Sweetener, granulated, can save you more than 600 calories? Sounds pretty good, doesn’t it?

Now, back to this Caramel Eggnog French Toast Bake! It’s deliciously sweet, comforting, and full of festive flavors. The top is swirled with caramel, which gives it an extra special touch.

It also make the perfect Christmas morning breakfast. Simply prepare this dish the night before and pop it in the oven in the morning. What could be easier than that?

One bite of this Caramel Eggnog French Toast Bake and you will have found your new favorite breakfast. Filled with warm and cozy flavors and sweetened with SPLENDA®, this dish is perfect to serve for your family and friends over the holidays!
