Looking for vegan Christmas dinner recipes to wow your friends and family? Alex and I started eating a mostly whole food plant based diet years ago. And the hardest part of it was not the weeknight meals: it was the holidays! Most of our friends and family were stumped with how to cook for people who ate tons of vegetables. Fast forward to today, and there’s a lot more understanding around what eating plant based looks like. But it’s still difficult to find really good, delicious and accessible vegan recipes for entertaining. With that in mind, we’ve compiled our top vegan Christmas dinner recipes! From showy pot pie to creamy vegan gravy, from Christmas sides to holiday desserts, we think we’ll love all of them. In fact: we promise you will! And don’t forget to end with vegan hot chocolate or hot cider (or the slow cooker version). Let’s get to those recipes.
And now…our top vegan Christmas dinner recipes!
