    Unfortunately, most holiday dishes weren't created with a vegan diet in mind. Fortunately, I'm here to help with that.

    Over the years I've created over 70 delicious vegan holiday recipes that are perfect for year-end holiday celebrations. We're talking every course here, and all the major year-end holidays. Vegan gingerbread men for Christmas, vegan potato latkes for Hanukkah, peanut soup for Kwanzaa, and hoppin' John for New Year's. I personally like to indulge in a dish for every holiday.

    I've left Thanksgiving off the list because I already covered it in my vegan Thanksgiving recipes post. Incidentally, there are lots of vegan Thanksgiving dishes that also work for the year-end holidays, so be sure to check out that post for even more ideas!

    Vegan Holiday Appetizers

    You'll need some delicious starters at just about any holiday celebration. These delicious dishes will keep your guests happy while they await the main attraction! For even more ideas, check out my vegan appetizers round-up!
