The Ultimate Vegan Holiday Recipes Menu (2024)

Vegan food at the center of a beautifully crafted holiday tablescape is not a very common sight. But if you're a strict vegan yourself, have some on your guest list, or simply want to mix up your menu this year, you can still indulge in festive holiday fare. To pull it off, you just need to have a good menu on hand. Here are 23 vegan recipes you can mix and match to create the perfect vegan holiday menu.

Pumpkin Hummus Crudité: Smooth, creamy, and full of autumnal flavor, this dip is a celebration of the season all on its own. (via Yummy Mummy Kitchen)

Kale Pesto: This pesto is bursting with bright green flavor and can be made in five minutes flat. You don't need much more motivation to add this to your menu. (via Pinch of Yum)

Butternut Tots: Pan-fried so they're crispy on the outside, these tots are still velvety on the inside from the use of butternut squash. When you add the maple mustard dip, you may find yourself unable to share. (via Connoisseurus Veg)

Vegan Potato Leek Soup: Have a hearty soup ready just in case it's extra cold outside — everyone could use a big, warm bowl of comfort. (via Vegan Huggs)

Butternut Squash, Kale, and Barley Soup: Not only will this soup be a beautiful, colorful contrast to the weather outside, but it's also wholesome, seasonal, and packed with soothing flavors. (via Veganosity)
