Cinnamon bread was saved for special occasions when I was growing up, and Christmas morning certainly qualifies. You can do all the prep work on Christmas Eve, so you just need to wake up, pop the loaf pans in the oven, and get ready to dig in!

Ingredients
Scale
2 cups all-purpose flour, plus extra for the pans
1 cup whole milk

3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
2 large eggs

Combine all the ingredients in a large bowl and beat until well combined. Pour into the loaf pans, then cover and chill for at least 8 hours, or overnight.

Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Slice and serve warm, or let cool completely and wrap individually to give away to guests.
