  We present a model of Cosmological Electroweak Symmetry Breaking (CEWSB),
where a Higgs-like field and a cosmological background of weak boson gauge
fields interact with gravity to realize the epoch of cosmic inflation, which is
then followed by a Higgs resonance preheating. As a result, the scale of
electroweak symmetry breaking is linked with the end of inflation. The theory
is equipped with a shift symmetry that can protect the Higgs mass, and it has
close semblance to natural inflation and its variants. As the Higgs field's
amplitude decays at the end of inflation, its mass emerges. The model has a
built in Higgs self-resonance preheating mechanism which leads to the possible
emergence of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) due to resonant Higgs, quark
and lepton production after inflation. We provide a pathway to implement a
similar mechanism with the realistic Higgs-doublet of the standard electroweak
theory and discuss phenomenological considerations.
