My mother had a recipe for overnight raisin buns that she made for Christmas morning and a few other special times. We'd make the dough after dinner, let it rise till bedtime then shape into buns and cover and let rise at room temperature overnight. Bake up in the morning and fresh warm raisin buns for breakfast Christmas morning. Oddly enough my mother didn't enjoy them warm from the oven, she waited until later in the day to enjoy.
