The festive season is upon us, discover the perfect vegan Christmas treats and gifts from The Vegan Society's Vegan Trademark
A turkey roast is the main event at many tables on Christmas Day but did you know, turkeys are sensitive and highly social animals?
They create long-lasting social bonds with each other and with humans, playing games, clucking along with songs, enjoying affection, and even remembering faces. A lot like humans!
There are so many reasons to leave these wonderful beings off your festive table and get stuck into evolving these traditions into more compassionate – and delicious – ones.
From meat-free classics like a nut roast to innovative and accessible new options like turkey style joints, there are so many vegan roast dinner alternatives available out there.
It doesn’t just stop there, though. The Vegan Society’s Vegan Trademark certifies a great range of vegan substitutes for all those traditional festive trimmings.
Each year, we’re seeing more and more exciting products, whether that’s liquid egg alternatives to make your own vegan Yorkshire puddings with, or animal-free chocolate selection boxes to share with the family or take round to your hosts.
Of course, there are plenty of vegan gifts, tipples and treats to complete your vegan Christmas too, with many sustainable options in the mix.
It’s not only possible to have a more conscious and compassionate Christmas, but it’s now easier, more accessible and becoming more affordable than ever.
