Like everybody else, we’ve covered vegan Thanksgiving<\/a>. How about the rest of the holiday season, though?

While prepping for last week’s big Holiday Extravaganza podcast episode<\/a>, Matt and I put out a call on social for holiday-themed questions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dozens rolled in, and by far the biggest topic was around how to handle and cook for the non-vegans in your family. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Holidays are all about traditions — including religious, family, and certainly food based traditions, sometimes going back many years. And when you try to buck sometimes generations-old recipe traditions, there can be push-back. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Still, our advice for handling meals around the holidays is pretty simple: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Be cool. <\/strong>It’s the holidays, and unless someone at the table is genuinely interested in learning more about your diet, now probably isn’t the time to convince your family to go plant-based. <\/li>
  2. Be prepared.<\/strong> Instead of expecting others to prepare a vegan dish for you, bring your own dish the entire party will love. If you’re visiting family for the holidays, add to the meal with sides and entrees that showcase how delicious a plant-based meal can be. <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    To help with #2 above, the team and I pulled together a list of our favorite Hanukkah, Christmas, and Kwanzaa inspired dishes from around the web. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Each perfect as an addition to any holiday party or dinner. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Holiday Entrees and Sides<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    There’s nothing better than wowing my family with a traditional holiday main dish turned vegan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    When they realize how good something they thought couldn’t possibly work without animal products actually is, it’s a big win. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    So today we’re highlighting some of our favorites veganized entrees and sides that might catch people off guard, plus a few of our favorite already vegan recipes that are bound to be a big hit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
