10 Vegan Alternatives To All Your Favourite Christmas Food

It's Christmas, so you're going to need snacks. Liberation Nuts is the UK’s only fair Trade, farmer-owned nut company. Pep up your aperitif time with the Chilli & Lime Cashew Nuts with Peanuts and Roasted Corn option, which is vegan-friendly, palm oil free and has just the right amount of kick.

It's always useful to have a few plant-powered snacks in the fridge over the festive season. These Moroccan Spiced Falafel with Red Pepper and Apricot from Gosh! are endlessly versatile - from throwing in salads and wraps to making the basis of finger-lickin' canapes. A top contender for the best vegan Christmas food in the supermarket we think!

Surplus food condiment brand and certified B Corp, Rubies in the Rubble has stepped things up a notch this Christmas with a vegan-friendly mayonnaise that's made from water enriched with protein after cooking chickpeas - otherwise known as aquafaba. It's egg and gluten-free but is still a creamy, tangy addition to any sandwich or salad.

For those who don't want to tackle a vegan Christmas dinner with all the trimmings (we're not judging!), Riverford has it all. The box includes a vegan Christmas nut roast, vegan-friendly gravy, Christmas pudding, mince pies, cranberry sauce, organic veggies and clementines - and it feeds two-three people. Order in and put your feet up.

No one wants to whizz up multiple meals from scratch on Boxing Day so Bol's range of vegan-friendly soups are soup-urb things to have in the fridge. We know soup is easy to make and easy to keep vegan but sometimes having it ready made makes all the difference. We're loving this Creamy Corn & Sweet Potato one for an extra immune boost.

That bit between Christmas and New Year needs easy meals that can accommodate last minute guests. Packs of sausages are endlessly useful but don't panic there's no animal in sight here. We've fallen for Heck's new plant-based range and these The Beet Goes On are vegan-friendly.
