Vegetarian Christmas Recipes

You won’t be left out in the cold with these vegetarian Christmas recipes, I promise. Even though Thanksgiving and Christmas both conjure up images of big roasted birds and sweet glazed hams, these vegetarian dishes are equally belly-warming and satisfying. (And please, hold the tofurkey.)

Nowadays it seems like more and more people are catching on to what this “whole vegetarian thing” means but occasionally you’ll still run into someone who thinks you’re crazy. There are lots of misconceptions floating around out there, like the notion that we only eat salad.

Well I don’t know about you but I would like to eat salad, but especially on a festive occasion like Christmas, I would also enjoy stuffing my face with stick-to-the-ribs kinds of dishes like the rest of them.

6 Vegetarian Christmas Recipes

There’s no need to feel left out. Here are dishes crafted to meet your vegetarian needs and if you have meat-eaters in the family, well they just might be reaching back for seconds too. I suppose we can share ;).

Winter salad recipe - a few seasonal lettuces to help you stay balanced before overindulging.

Roasted root vegetables recipe - the best way to use up all those tubers sitting around.

Homemade scalloped potatoes recipe - my family polished this dish clean when we were only halfway done with the meal!

Holiday punch recipe - Wondering what (non-alcoholic) drink to serve for Christmas? Add this to the rotation!

Fresh green bean casserole recipe - a fresh take on a winter-time classic that no dinner table can go without.

Short bread cookie recipe - who can say no to these delectable, buttery, winter classics? Make them fun with cookie cutters or go old school by cutting them into little bars. Either way they're delicious.

Pardone, si vous plait, vegan chocolate peanut butter cups coming your way.

Christmas Morning

After the air clears of sparkles, snow flakes and torn wrapping paper you’ll probably hear your stomach grumbling.

Early mornings full of festivities and excitement can only be topped off by munching on this cinnamon raisin bread recipe. It’s definitely a crowd pleaser and a tradition in my family since before my parents were married. We make ours on Christmas Eve so there’s really no work to be done in the morning except for diggin’ in. Make enough for the whole family to enjoy and you’ll be liked almost as much as Santa.

Homemade Cakes as Gifts

Go forth and enjoy the holiday season! And if you’re looking for a wonderful homemade gift to give these are some great and easy cakes recipes to try. My friend Anita is an expert at making these cakes from scratch but without going overboard and taking 5 days to make one dessert.

If you’re looking for the perfect gesture that conveys homemade cheer and yet is still simple enough to pull off, these recipes are for you. And if somebody drops by for a visit they won’t leave with an empty stomach!

Well I hope you feel prepared for the holidays with these Vegetarian Christmas Recipes. For more holiday feast ideas check out this vegetarian Thanksgiving menu!
