    Holidays are notoriously overwhelming for vegans. Attending all those Christmas events with very limited cruelty-free options...if any at all!

    Whether you're having a small gathering with just yourself and your dog (sounds ideal honestly) or joining a huge group of family friends, you can enjoy the festivities with plenty of incredible, holiday-table-worthy vegan food.

    There are tons of options on this list for every occasion - Christmas breakfast, appetizers to snack on throughout the day, main dishes, sides, and desserts.

    I hope you find some vegan Christmas recipes here that you love.
