The holidays are here and all things festive are in full swing. These sparkling pancakes are sure to keep the party going long after dinner is over. This pancake recipe is great way to treat overnight guests to something special. Use a little bit of Barefoot Bubbly Brut Cuvee Champagne and strawberries in this batter to keep the holiday spirit alive. Everything seems to have an extra bit of sparkle around the holidays. So why not add that sparkle to your food with using unexpected splashes of flavor!

Every year I host a holiday “Brinner” for my friends. Everyone shows up in their pajamas and we eat breakfast foods for dinner. It is a break from the traditional cocktail parties and dinners. Everyone gets to be laid back and festive at the same time. Along with these pancakes I have served candied bacon, a champagne spiked egg casserole, and sugarplum fairy sangria. The best part of these items is they are make ahead. Which means I get to jingle and mingle as well!
