A time of joy, companionship, and laughter. Or a time of awkward questions and not being able to exit a room fast enough\u2026? If you\u2019re worried about being tempted by turkey or constant questions about B12, our vegan survival guide will help you make it through Christmas in one piece.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/veganuary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/man-christmas.jpg\" alt=\"Man with ugly sweater opening his mouth and looking surprised about some awesome Christmas sale\" class=\"wp-image-212368\" srcset=\"https:\/\/veganuary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/man-christmas.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/veganuary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/man-christmas-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/veganuary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/man-christmas-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/veganuary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/man-christmas-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/veganuary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/man-christmas-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image Credit: AdobeStock<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Christmas is a time for over-indulging and spending time with our nearest and dearest. But when you\u2019re vegan (especially a new vegan), you can find yourself in some uncomfortable situations throughout the holiday season, and there\u2019s potential for things to feel a little fraught.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fortunately, being vegan isn\u2019t considered as &#8220;weird&#8221; as it was in the past. But you may encounter some tricky situations over the festive season, nonetheless. Here are our tips on getting through Christmas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. STOCK UP ON VEGAN FOOD<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When you\u2019re surrounded by chocolates, cheese platters, and pigs in blankets, it can be difficult to keep your cravings at bay if you\u2019re new to veganism. Fortunately, it\u2019s easier than ever to find vegan alternatives to staple festive foods, from <a href=\"https:\/\/veganuary.com\/vegan-roast-dinner-recipes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">roasts<\/a> to <a href=\"https:\/\/veganuary.com\/en-us\/best-vegan-advent-calendars-2024\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">chocolate assortment boxes<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most supermarkets now offer vegan cheese and an array of chocolates, chips, and sweets. They&#8217;re also starting to launch\u00a0vegan Christmas ranges\u00a0full of indulgent goodies. So don\u2019t worry! Even when you\u2019re among non-vegan foods, you\u2019ll be too busy munching on your own vegan snacks to care. And if you slip up or eat non-vegan foods by accident, it\u2019s really not the end of the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. TAKE VEGAN TREATS TO WORK<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you work in an office environment, most workplaces throw a Christmas party, and the day usually involves bringing snacks to get into the holiday spirit. These situations can draw attention to different dietary requirements, meaning vegans can be bombarded with uncomfortable questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If possible, get involved in organizing your Christmas meal so you\u2019re not completely forgotten about or left with a disappointing meal (fruit salad, anyone?). Our\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/veganuary.com\/en-us\/restaurants\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">restaurant guide<\/a>\u00a0includes lots of helpful information about chains with vegan-friendly menus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bring cakes, cookies, and other treats into the office to show everyone that going vegan doesn\u2019t mean you\u2019re missing out on anything. The best way to win people over is through their stomachs! See our&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/veganuary.com\/en-us\/best-vegan-chocolate\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">vegan chocolate guide<\/a>&nbsp;for inspiration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"801\" src=\"https:\/\/veganuary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/christmas-presents.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-212415\" srcset=\"https:\/\/veganuary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/christmas-presents.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/veganuary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/christmas-presents-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/veganuary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/christmas-presents-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/veganuary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/christmas-presents-800x534.jpg 800w, https:\/\/veganuary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/christmas-presents-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image Credit: Unsplash<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. CREATE A LIST OF VEGAN CHRISTMAS GIFTS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>All vegans have been there \u2013 getting a non-vegan gift for Christmas and pretending to be thrilled, so you don\u2019t hurt grandma\u2019s feelings. To avoid this, distribute a list among your family and friends, so they know what to look out for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are plenty of&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/veganuary.com\/en-us\/vegan-christmas-gift-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">vegan Christmas gifts<\/a>&nbsp;online and at shopping malls, so it should be easy for loved ones to shop for you. If you receive a non-vegan gift, you could re-gift it or donate it to charity. If you feel comfortable, you can politely explain that it\u2019s not vegan, so they know for next year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Educating people around you takes time and patience, and it\u2019s inevitable there will be mix-ups and mistakes. We\u2019re only human, after all!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. PLAN CHRISTMAS DINNER IN ADVANCE<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re having Christmas dinner at a family member\u2019s house, let the host know you\u2019re vegan and help them arrange options for you. There are tons of&nbsp;vegan Christmas dinner&nbsp;options available in supermarkets, so finding something you like won\u2019t be difficult.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also bring dishes of your own to show people first-hand that being vegan isn\u2019t as extreme or limiting as they may think. We have a selection of&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/veganuary.com\/en-us\/recipes\/categories\/vegan-christmas-recipes-us\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">vegan Christmas recipes<\/a>&nbsp;to inspire your festive feast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you usually eat out for your Christmas lunch? Contact the restaurant to ask them what vegan dishes they can provide and give them plenty of notice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alternatively, why not host your own Christmas meal? This might take some persuading, but it gives you control over what you serve and could open people\u2019s minds to new and exciting Christmas dishes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/veganuary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Christmas-Tree-Tarts-chef-student-Ingrida-Jurkeviciute.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-212430\" srcset=\"https:\/\/veganuary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Christmas-Tree-Tarts-chef-student-Ingrida-Jurkeviciute.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/veganuary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Christmas-Tree-Tarts-chef-student-Ingrida-Jurkeviciute-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/veganuary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Christmas-Tree-Tarts-chef-student-Ingrida-Jurkeviciute-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/veganuary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Christmas-Tree-Tarts-chef-student-Ingrida-Jurkeviciute-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/veganuary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Christmas-Tree-Tarts-chef-student-Ingrida-Jurkeviciute-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image Credit: The Vegan Chef School<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Be prepared for questions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When you\u2019re new to plant-based living, being the only vegan in your family can be an isolating experience. To some people, ditching turkey and ham at Christmas is nothing short of a criminal offense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some people (hopefully a minority) will insist on giving you nutritional advice or telling you that we need meat to survive. Others will be genuinely curious and unaware of cruel farming practices or the environmental impact of animal agriculture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The key is to be patient, answer people\u2019s questions, and avoid becoming the &#8220;preachy vegan&#8221; at all costs. Most of the time, people will take the lead from you. So, if you keep things light-hearted, fun, and relaxed, then it\u2019s likely everyone else will too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are lots of resources online to help you respond to every kind of question or counterargument, from our&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/veganuary.com\/en-us\/top-ten-vegan-myths\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">vegan myths section<\/a>. You don\u2019t have to know the answers to everything on the spot, so if you\u2019re in uncomfortable territory, simply offer to pick up the discussion another time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. ENJOY YOURSELF!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Navigating Christmas Day as a vegan can be confusing and downright awkward at times, but it\u2019s your day too. So, enjoy it! Make your own traditions, have fun finding ways to veganize the usual Christmas fare, and think of it as a way to show your family that being vegan is as normal and natural as anything they\u2019ve ever known.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like a wedding day, a birthday, or any other day in your life that gets built up into something ridiculously big, Christmas Day is just one single day. And when you look at it that way, it becomes easier to navigate. You can and will get through it! And with a little planning, you can totally enjoy it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Looking for more tips for the holiday season?
