Made this substituting Southern Comfort for the brandy. It's supposed to be for supper tonight, but I couldn't help sampling a little ahead of time. Woo-hoo, what a treat!

This has become a Christmas breakfast staple in our house and is a family favorite. I make a couple of changes, though. I combine the candied ginger the night before because I like the subtle ginger flavor throughout, although it tastes great both ways! I also use additional fruits not listed here, such as: berries (this year, blueberries), pomegranate, mango, dragon fruit (so beautiful - makes for a great presentation for a holiday meal), clementine wedges, and I always garnish with STAR FRUIT! So pretty!
