    vegan christmas recipes

    Following a plant-based diet, spending holidays with our relatives, and coming up with a vegan Christmas dinner menu have always made us a little anxious. We have large families spread out between Panama, the USA, and Argentina, with different holiday traditions and staple holiday dishes.

    We will spend the holiday season here in Milano, Italy, with our new friends this year. Of course, they expect some wonderful Christmas ideas coming from the kitchen of their fresh food bloggers' friends' couple, so here we go again!

    Vegan Christmas Recipes

    The question is always there: what do vegans eat for Christmas?

    A festive feast needs to come to play, and we are pulling up all the Best Vegan Christmas dinner recipes we have! Just our favorite recipes, all wrapped up in this holiday special!

    Since we love to cook, we always sneak a couple of dishes here and there, as we never trade for only one vegan option; we also want to feast! Don't we all?

    Vegan Christmas dinner ideas

    Over the years, we have tried different recipes, depending on the location, as it might be a cold, mild, or hot Christmas.

    We always cook, considering everyone will eat, so we like to make enough, so our families can taste and understand that we are not missing out on flavor; we just have different choices.

    As a result, we have always been cheered, either out loud or silently, with empty pans and casseroles, wiped out by non-vegans and meat-eaters, next to halfway eaten turkeys and hams trays.

    I am not blowing my own trumpet here, but this collection of dishes has made us very proud throughout the years.

    It would make for a fantastic Vegan Christmas dinner for a small family, a party of four, or if, as we always do, have Christmas brunch with the dinners' leftovers.

    Vegan Christmas Recipes

    We have everything you will need right here to have the perfect Vegan Christmas!

    From Christmas starters and drinks to Christmas brunch ideas.

    Christmas side dishes

    I love making plenty of Vegan Christmas dinner recipes because I love a big Vegan Christmas dinner and trying and sharing different vegan recipes. It is a great occasion to show how diverse and delicious a vegan lifestyle can be!

    They never stop wondering that vegans eat a much more varied range of products than people who eat meat eat at the end of the day.

    That's probably why I am biased toward having many side dish recipes. We love munching on many different treats. Also, they are usually easier to make, and you can try several things. I am in!

    We always have cornbread for Christmas and Thanksgiving because it pairs well with chili and is easy to match with any sauce on your plate, including cranberry sauce. As much as we love experimenting with new things, some traditional food is always welcomed!
