Christmas dinner should be something everyone at the table can tuck into, so here are all my vegan Christmas recipes in one place. There are 29 of them, from the main event and all the trimmings to desserts and a few sweet bits for the evening, and every one is gluten free too.
My top pick

Lentils, chestnut mushrooms and chestnuts wrapped in gluten free puff pastry, ready in 50 minutes and serves 8, and you can make it ahead of Christmas Day so the oven is free for the roasties.
This is the main I make every Christmas, and I know you will love it.
P.S for more festive ideas head to my dedicated Christmas Recipes page to have a browse.

My Make-Ahead Plan for Christmas Day
Taken from the storage notes on each recipe, so the day itself is mostly roasting and reheating.
- Weeks ahead (freezer): Christmas Nut Roast, Vegan Yorkshire Puddings, both parsnip soups, Vegan Sausage Rolls, Healthy Mince Pies, Candied Pecans and Air Fryer Roast Potatoes.
- A few days ahead: Vegan Chocolate Truffles (up to 2 weeks in the fridge), Homemade Cranberry Sauce (up to 7 days in the fridge), Best Mushroom Gravy (make, cool and reheat) and the Easy Lentil Wellington (cook it ahead, the recipe explains how).
- The day before: Peel and prep the Rosemary Roast Potatoes and Roasted Root Vegetables, and get the Stuffed Butternut Squash filled ready to roast.
I hope these 29 vegan Christmas recipes help you plan a calm, delicious Christmas. Please leave a star rating ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ on the recipes you make and let me know how you get on in the comments.
