We’ve scoured the best places to source your meat free Christmas dinner and found our favourite options for you to consider at this festive time of the year! No animals need to be harmed on what should be a joyous holiday, let us introduce to you these delicious alternatives.
M&S have our backs.


This year, M&S have two delicious options that are perfect for those that aren’t interested in the fuss of Christmas dinner and prefer to pop something in the oven and enjoy their day. Its also a great option for taking around to your omni family or friends house so you can enjoy a vegan dinner as a guest, without any extra hassle! Why not try Red Cabbage & Squash Filo Parcels and Festive Parsnip & Mulled Red Onion Roast?

Ditch the turkey, try Tofurky!
If you want to try something a bit more ‘meaty’, you can go for Tofurky! This Tofurky Roast with Herb Gravy is packed out with wild rice stuffing… everything you need to have a ‘traditional’ Christmas dinner. This will be great to pop in the freezer and unveil on Christmas day whether you’re vegan or cutting down on less meat, this is a winner!


Fry’s, a family favourite!
Another ‘meaty’ option includes Fry’s Soy and Quinoa Country Roast seasoned with fresh Italian parsley and rosemary, delicious! This will be a great addition to your Christmas meal, pass the cranberry sauce!
Tesco are hitting it hard with vegan options.
Tesco are introducing more and more vegan options, this Christmas they offer their Finest Easy Entertaining Cauliflower Wellington. This flavourful dish includes a turmeric spiced whole cauliflower with a mushroom and butternut squash duxelle wrapped in golden puff pastry. We’re getting hungry!
Vegan cheese board you say?

What a great year to be vegan, eh! So many options we have and this year we vegans and dairy intolerants alike get to enjoy a proper Christmas cheese board. This Violife Christmas Dairy Free Platter comes in three different flavours; Blu, After Dinner, and Mature. This can be spotted in your bigger Sainsbury’s stores, and while you’re there you can also check out Sainsbury’s own vegan cheese options.

This cheese offering, lovingly nicknamed ‘Gary’, includes; Cheddar-Style with Chives, Cheddar-Style with Onion, Cheddar-Style, Greek-Style (a personal favourite), Wensleydale-Style with Cranberries and Blue Cheese-Style.
