Enjoy a most delicious and memorable yuletide season with this collection of more than 30 fabulous and favorite vegan Christmas holiday recipes including appetizers, soups, entrees, sides, and desserts.
The Christmas holiday season is a time to enjoy traditional festivities and food with family and friends. It's also the perfect occasion to share the goodness of vegan living by creating delicious homemade dishes without causing harm to animals. Now that's something to celebrate.
Over the years, my family and I have had the best time veganizing many of our heirloom recipes that have been passed down through generations of relatives, like my great Aunt Velma's chocolatey rich vegan devil's food cake. By swapping out ingredients derived from animals and replacing them with plant-based foods, we have elevated our favorite vegan holiday desserts and dishes, making them better than ever and creating new and kinder traditions in the process.
May you enjoy a peaceful, beautiful, and compassionate holiday season. I do hope you enjoy these 30 favorite vegan Christmas holiday recipes, each one designed with love, from my family to yours.
