If you’re looking for classy canapés and bite-sized vegan nibbles, look no further. Get guests dipping into this luxury hummus with crudités and warm pittas. Sprinkle over sumac and smoked paprika along with fried chickpeas for extra pizzazz. Or what about our aubergine & chickpea bites for a healthy party option.
If you need more easy-to-handle finger food, treat your guests to our rainbow spring rolls which can be served with a shop-bought sweet chilli sauce. We’ve even got the perfect vegan alternative to a classic smoked salmon canapé. Simply infuse sliced carrot ribbons with smoky lapsang souchong teabags, then place them on toasted baguette along with a dollop of vegan cream cheese.

Festive vegan sides
Forget bland spuds and boiled sprouts, these side dishes are so good they could be the main event. How about vegan ‘cheesy’ leek crumble? Liven up classic roast potatoes with paprika and throw in thyme roasted vegetables for good measure. Bring another pop of colour in the form of our red cabbage with coriander seed and zingy cranberry & sweet chilli jam, while spruced up chilli-charred Brussels sprouts will add a spicy kick.

Don’t forget the pudding! It’s Christmas after all and indulgence is a tradition that shouldn’t be broken. Go traditional with a moist and fruity vegan Christmas pudding or vegan Christmas cake, both flavoured with fragrant spices and a hint of rum. For something a little lighter, bake some vegan mince pies filled with cherries and hazelnuts – and wash it all down with a mug of warming vegan eggnog.
If you prefer an alternative pud, bake our extra squidgy sticky toffee pudding rich with dates, spices and juicy poached pears – a guaranteed crowd-pleaser. For after-dinner treats to serve with coffee, make squares of vegan tiffin packed with the classic flavours of Christmas.
