As pretty as they are delicious, Extra Special Vegan Rainbow Vegetable Filo Tarts will also be launching in stores alongside Vegan Party Pasties.
Mains
As well as a plethora of tempting vegan sides such as no pork cocktail sausages and cranberry & apple stuffing balls which are perfect for Christmas party snacks, Asda is launching a festive vegan Wellington for those looking to swap out the traditional turkey for meat-free options.
The Wellington features puff pastry packed with chickpeas, cranberries, apricots and blended with festive spices and topped with a sweet cranberry sauce.

Fabulous food
Linsey Taylor, Senior Director of New Product Development, said of the range: “For me, this is the most exciting time of the year, unveiling the fabulous food and drink combinations we’ve been working hard on for the festive season. There’s something special about families coming together to celebrate the big day and it’s our job to ensure there’s delicious food for everyone to enjoy, and plenty of options for all involved.
“This year, we’ve really considered customer feedback from 2018 – creating products based on needs and desires for certain food and drink, particularly for those looking for more inclusive options but still seeking delicious flavour and great value”.
