Going vegan has changed my relationship with food and has allowed me to be more open to the foods consumed on a daily basis. In this post, I share the benefits of living a vegan lifestyle and how my vegan journey has been a great journey thus far!

Now that I’m almost two years into my vegan journey, I thought it would be a great deal to put together a vegan holiday dinner guide for anyone who is wanting to try delicious vegan-friendly foods worth adding to your Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner menu. Last year I had my very first vegan holiday meal and while it was amazing, I wish I would have created my holiday menus in advance so that I would be more organized during the busiest time of the year. Whether you’re following a Pinterest recipe or want a few store-bought options, I’ve got you covered.

The items that I’ll be sharing in today’s post can be purchased at your local grocery stores or by placing an online grocery pickup or delivery order. Ordering online is not only convenient but you can enjoy the many benefits when signing up for Walmart+ and Amazon Prime when placing orders for Whole Foods Market.

Without further ado, here is the ultimate vegan holiday dinner guide to creating a wonderful vegan experience for the holidays!

APPETIZERS

One thing I love about vegan is you don’t have to miss out on delicious food. Appetizers are great if you’re hosting or attending a potluck. Each of these food items I share will be both affordable and make a great addition to your holiday dinner menu. They are also a tease of how fun being vegan really is!

MAIN COURSES

Last year when I was preparing our first vegan holiday dinner there was a lot of foods that I was excited to try since becoming vegan. But I also didn’t know what to expect since this was my first time shopping and preparing vegan holiday roasts. I must say, before going vegan one thing I didn’t look forward to during holiday dinners was turkey. On the other hand, prior to becoming vegan I always looked forward to ham – since I grew up eating it during every holiday dinner. I remember thinking, there was no way I was going to find a holiday roast that we’d like. I was wrong. Above are the vegan roasts I recommend!

SIDE DISHES

Being introduced to new foods is like stepping into a new world. You discover new foods and I had no clue being vegan would be so fun. Vegan sides are another thing I’m looking forward to this holiday season and beyond. Although our dressing and mac and cheese will be homemade, you can’t go wrong with having a few store-bought side dishes as an option. Even if you aren’t vegan, you’ll love these tasteful sides on your plate this holiday season. And while they are all vegan items, they taste just as delicious (if not better) than non-vegan food.

DESSERTS

It’s only right to enjoy holiday treats, especially after a delicious meal. These vegan-friendly desserts are yummy and will make a great addition to your holiday menu. And whether you’re vegan or not, the yummy treats are worth giving a try!

FINAL THOUGHTS

These amazing vegan foods and desserts are one reason I am excited for the holidays. Although they can be enjoyed anytime throughout the year they are without a doubt a great way to make the most of your holiday dinner. If you’re someone who plans to host a holiday dinner then these items are a great way to ensure that your loved ones who live a vegan lifestyle have options to fit their vegan diet, which they will greatly appreciate!
