60 Vegan & Vegetarian Christmas Recipes for the bestChristmas ever! We’ve got you covered from breakfast to mains to sides to desserts to even drinks!
Happy week before Christmas!! The holidays have gone by so quickly, haven’t they?! I know a lot of you have asked about this Christmas roundup, and it’s finally here! Whether you’re vegan/veg or your family members are, you can find everything and anything that you want here.

That will ensure that you get to spend lots of time on Christmas Day with your loved ones, instead of in the kitchen.
P.S. even though it says “vegan and vegetarian” everything is vegan!

Hey Jessica. Wow! What a great list of Christmas recipes. I can’t wait to try some. Here in Australia, I grew up eating Christmas pudding with brandy sauce on Christmas Day. Would you have a vegan recipe for that dish?
