Vegan Holiday Meal Guide

Green bean casserole! Add mushrooms for a traditional feel!

Who doesn't love stuffing! There are so many ways to make stuffing! Here is a classic part of any holiday meal! If you want a meatier option you can always use vegan chik'n stock or chik'n bouillon cubes instead of the veggie broth!

Homemade mashed potatoes are another essential part of a holiday meal! Add garlic for some garlic red mashed potatoes!

Here is a delicious vegan twist on sweet potato casserole! Midnight Munchies & More has a recipe for homemade marshmallows or you can search your local health food store for Dandies®  brand vegan marshmallows!

Mac and cheese was always my personal comfort food. Sure, you can use Annie's  or Modern Table's boxed cheddar mac, but making this recipe yourself can really impress your friends and family if you're sharing with others!

While there ARE vegan deviled egg recipes online, deviled potatoes may just end up being a new family favorite! Who doesn't love potatoes?!

Add black salt (kala namak) for an eggy flavor!

Although some select health food stores such as Whole Foods sell vegan pumpkin pie, making it from yourself can be even more delicious and so rewarding!

Who doesn't love cutting yourself a huge slice of pecan pie after a big holiday meal! If you've been missing pecan pie, you need this recipe in your life!

Why stop at pumpkin pie when you can also make yourself a decadent pumpkin roll for dessert too?! It's the holidays, so who is going to judge you for eating more than one dessert?!

Whether they're served as an appetizer or for dessert, these cream cheese cranberry bites are absolutely amazing! We all love cranberry sauce right? Even if you don't, you may have to give these a try regardless, because they are worth it!

Not only is this gingerbread vegan, but you can also dip it in vegan eggnog glaze! My favorite eggnog is So Delicious's coconut milk nog, but your favorite nog will suffice.

(This is coming from someone who doesn't even like coconut milk. So Delicious's coconut eggnog tastes really good!)

While Daiya, does make a vegan pumpkin cheesecake, most of us here all agree that this recipe is by far the better option! I'd like to just state that I don't trust anyone who doesn't like cheesecake. If that applies to you, I'm not sorry.

There are plenty of vegan cheeses out there to include on your charcuterie board, but our favorite has to be the various flavors of Miyoko's cheese wheels. This is the vegan equivalent to expensive dairy cheese!

You can also buy Violife or Field Roast cheese slices and cut them into squares on the side to fit on crackers if spreadable cheese isn't your thing.

Before going vegan, I loved pairing cheese with pepperoni on crackers! Now Yves pepperoni is a good alternative for my charcuterie board!

You could even look into cutting Lightlife bacon into squares if you want a variety of meats which can then be put on bacon Ritz which happen to be accidentally vegan if you really are a bacon lover!

Tofurky has always been the leader in plant-based deli slices and rightfully so! There are quite a few different kinds of deli slices to choose from that can be rolled up or laid out across your board adding that meatier aspect to your presentation.

Whether you use Kite Hill, Violife, or Tofutti cream cheese, pairing spicy jelly with cream cheese on Original Wheat Thins is always a good go-to crowd pleaser.

If you can find fancier spicy jellies then go for those as well! I once paired Tofutti with a blackberry serrano pepper jelly and it was amazing!

None can deny that grapes laid across a charcuterie board makes turns the presentation of the food up a few notches.

If you can find them and like grapes with a very sweet taste to them, search your local health food store for cotton candy grapes when they're in season! Family members will be surprised by how much they taste like cotton candy!

When in doubt, an assortment of olives is an easy way to incorporate some vegan class into your board. Most non-stuffed olives are vegan, but it's always best to double check the ingredients!
