Vegan Christmas Treats: A Festive Feast for Plant-Based Palates
Christmas is a time for indulgence, and vegan treats are no exception. With a little creativity and the right ingredients, you can create a delicious spread of festive goodies that are both ethical and delicious. Here are some ideas to inspire your vegan Christmas baking:
Vegan Mince Pies
A classic Christmas treat, vegan mince pies are a delicious and festive option. You can use store-bought vegan mincemeat or make your own with a combination of dried fruits, nuts, spices, and plant-based sweeteners.
Vegan Christmas Pudding
A rich and decadent dessert, vegan Christmas pudding is a perfect way to end a festive meal. You can use a combination of dried fruits, nuts, spices, and plant-based milk to create a delicious and satisfying pudding.
Vegan Christmas Cake
A traditional Christmas cake can be easily veganised by substituting butter for vegan butter, eggs for a flax egg or Aquafaba, and dairy milk for plant-based milk. You can also use vegan marzipan and icing to decorate your cake.
Vegan Christmas Cookies
There are endless possibilities for vegan Christmas cookies. You can make classic cookies like gingerbread and shortbread, or try more creative options like chocolate chip cookies with vegan chocolate chips or cranberry and orange cookies.
Indulge in the rich and decadent taste of vegan chocolate truffles. You can use a combination of vegan chocolate, plant-based cream, and cocoa powder to create delicious truffles.

Vegan Chocolate Truffle Sprouts
Love ‘em or hate ‘em, Brussels Sprouts are a Christmas Dinner ‘must have’. We see our vegan Christmas treat truffle sprouts as the chocolate equivalent, except we think everyone will love them. It just wouldn't be Christmas without the obligatory sprouts, but, for those who aren't a fan we have the perfect alternative, our vegan chocolate truffle sprouts. Everyone will fall for these unique chocolates, made with our heavenly milk chocolate; using our unique rice and oat milk recipe, with just the right amount of cocoa. These little beauties won’t create any dining table controversy, but there might be grumblings if someone gets a little greedy and takes more than their fair share. Now you can’t say the same about their vegetable cousins can you?
Vegan Iconic Christmas Collection
A limited edition box for Christmas! A stunning collection of twenty four vegan chocolates across 12 different flavours, including a chocolate Brussels sprout....well it wouldn't be Christmas without the odd sprout!
Made using our unique recipe of rice and oat milk, the oat milk provides the chocolate with a stunning creaminess. As well as the Christmas sprout, this selection also includes two of our Great Taste Award winners; our smooth and nutty ultimate peanut butter truffle and our hazelnut rich dark side.
