The last Christmas blog post I have for you is on vegan Christmas recipes. I chose to do it last because it was the hardest to do. This list focuses on fun Christmas-themed recipes over recipe recommendations for your Christmas festivities, ranging from a Grinch cake to snow globe cupcakes.
Try these vegan Christmas recipes today, including but not limited to the following.
One of the easiest things to make vegan is a veggie tray because all you need is plain, raw veggies and your favorite thing of hummus. Here’s a veggie tray wreath from Make It Dairy Free.
I saw a decent number of seals on my trip to Alaska, but there weren’t any Arctic seals because we were too far south. Try an Arctic seal cake from The Little Blog of Vegan.
Last winter, I won a fort competition against my siblings before a snowball fight because our mom decided to take a family photo with my snow fort and not any of theirs. Have snowball cookies from The Edgy Veg.
It’s one thing to have a candy cane, but it would be even better to have a candy cane cookie. Here are peppermint candy cane cookies from The Curious Chickpea.
I initially thought this was a cut-up artichoke, but fortunately, it’s made out of pastry dough instead. Here’s a Christmas tree appetizer from Gourmandelle.
If you’re vegan or have an egg allergy or sensitivity, there’s a decent selection of vegan eggnog available seasonally in many grocery stores. Use some to make eggnog snow globe cupcakes from Vegan Dollhouse.
The biggest Disney winter movie is Frozen, and that is obvious with songs like “Do You Want to Build a Snowman?” Bake a vegan Frozen cake with the help of The Banana Diaries.
One of my favorite Christmas movies is the original Rudolph movie from 1964, the same year my mom was born. If you like reindeer too, here’s a rocky road reindeer cake from The Little Blog of Vegan.
We usually have a bag of Tostitos chips in the snack section of our Christmas buffet. A guacamole wreath, like the one from Veggies Save The Day, would be a terrific idea.
I apologize for not having that many main courses on this list, but a Christmas roast will do the trick. Have this cashew nut roast from Thinly Spread.
The only difference between the vegetarian and vegan versions of this recipe is if you use dairy butter (vegetarian) or dairy-free butter (vegan). Have vegan mistletoe chestnut loaves from Veggie Desserts.
If you’re skipping the dessert table this Christmas, that doesn’t mean you’re avoiding all of the fun this holiday. A healthy alternative is reindeer celery from Keeping the Peas.
A nice side to any meal is mashed potatoes, but wouldn’t they be even better if they were snowpeople for the holidays? Make a vegan mashed potato snowperson from Vegan Dollhouse.
If you’re hosting a Christmas brunch, one idea is to have pancakes shaped like your favorite Christmas creatures. Make Christmas pancakes from Eating by Elaine.
If you’re interested in having something untraditional for Christmas, ramen is an excellent option. I’m cool with it because I’m used to going to Chinese and the movies on Christmas Day.
Have some polar bear ramen from Yukitchen. Make sure you use her suggestion to swap maple syrup for honey to make it vegan.
I doubt we’ll have a white Christmas this year when it’ll be over 50 degrees Fahrenheit for the high. At least I can make a cauliflower snowperson as a consolation prize, thanks to Vegan Mom Blog.
My dad keeps saying that I have the most fruit in my home out of any person who lives by themselves that he knows. That means I could easily make one of these Christmas tree snacks without buying any extra groceries from Eating Richly.

26. Chocolate Reindeer Brownies
If you’re looking for some great vegan recipes, see what your favorite news websites have to offer. Here are vegan chocolate reindeer brownies from Today.
If you prefer a winter wonderland theme over a religious one for your baked goodies, make food that looks like a polar bear. Here’s a vegan polar bear cake from The Little Blog of Vegan.
At the Christmas celebration for my dad’s side of the family, his sister (my aunt) likes to get people to wear Christmas hats and bows while we open presents. Make Santa hat cupcakes from The Banana Diaries.
I’m pretty familiar with pizzas being half one flavor and half another with my big family, but here’s a Christmas main dish with two flavors: truffled mushroom mince and butternut squash colcannon.
There are so many accidental vegan foods, like Biscoff biscuits. I learned of their existence on my plane travels to Europe, and after I became vegan, I ate them more often because they're so delicious and happen to be vegan.
Bake a reindeer drip cake (a Biscoff cake with almond frosting) from Vegan Dollhouse.
I once got a free poinsettia plant that they were giving away at church that lasted for five years when I didn’t have that much of a green thumb. Make poinsettia cupcakes from Eight Forest Lane.
If you’ve seen Cupcake Wars or Cake Boss, you should get the memo on how to turn a thing of cookies into art. For example, create a Christmas cookie tree with the help of The Banana Diaries.
As an American, this recipe looks nowhere close to what I consider pudding to be. If you’re from the UK, these pudding bites from Vegan Punks would be a lot more familiar to your definition of pudding.
45. Christmas Sugar Cookies
I almost forgot to mention that you can make sugar cookies with whatever Christmas cookie cutters you want. Here’s a vegan Christmas sugar cookie recipe from Vegan in the Freezer.
Santa Claus is coming to town soon, so why not make a Santa appetizer to celebrate. Grab your favorite red and white veggies and hummus to assemble a Santa veggie tray from Eating Richly.
Even though I’m that into Christmas, my cats love it because they have extra decorations and trees to play with, they get more stuff, and I’m home more often. See ya next time!
