This year, we’re so thankful to bring back Christmas traditions – surrounded by family and friends and delicious, wholesome recipes! Food has the unique ability to bring people together and, on Christmas Day, we’re absolutely going to make the most of that!
Increasingly, many households are becoming more creative with their selection of Christmas dishes. According to The Vegan Society, 1 in 4 Brits have reduced the number of animal products that they’re buying and, with so many delicious alternatives out there, we’re not surprised! The centrepiece isn’t necessarily your (once) traditional turkey; it’s a veg-packed wellington, mouth-watering nut roast or tray-full of stuffed root vegetables!
We all know by now, the key to a successful, stress-free Christmas dinner boils down to one thing – good prep! That’s where we come in (hi!). We’re about to fill your screen with a selection of the best vegan Christmas recipes, from starters and sides all the way through to mains and desserts – a full festive spread!
