46 Vegan Holiday Recipes to Make this Festive Season

Going vegan definitely doesn’t mean settling for less, missing out, or bland, boring dishes. In fact, a plant-powered holiday spread can be bold and even more exciting than a traditional lineup. Your holiday spread doesn’t have to revolve around meat or dairy to be spectacular. That’s precisely what my compilation of vegan holiday recipes proves.

From festive main courses that fill the table with colour and flavour to decadent vegan desserts that rival the classics, these vegan recipes are anything but boring. Think Quinoa Crusted Tofu Parmesan that steals the spotlight, rich nut-based cheesecake jars, and high protein nachos loaded with wholesome ingredients—all 100% vegan and completely delicious.

If you are planning to go vegan and wondering where and how to start, let me show you how this holiday season can be your best chance to make the transition.

Vegan Holiday Recipes: Family Breakfast

Holidays always seem to start in the kitchen. Sleepy mornings, coffee brewing, and everyone wandering in to see what smells so good. That’s why I love kicking off my holiday mornings with wholesome, high protein breakfasts. The statement I want to make here is that even on holidays, vegan breakfasts don’t need to rely on butter, eggs, or dairy. I assure you; my vegan holiday breakfast recipes will inspire your family to savour their time around the table just a little longer.

pumpkin spice baked oats

Pumpkin Baked Oats with Cream Cheese Icing

If pumpkin pie and a cozy bowl of oatmeal had a holiday baby, I bet this baked oat recipe would be it. Pumpkin purée, pumpkin pie spice, cranberries, pecans, and that surprisingly addictive pumpkin spice PBfit powdered peanut butter are among the shining stars. The oats bake up soft and custardy, almost like a breakfast casserole, but the real star is the velvety vegan cream cheese icing that gets slathered on top once everything cools. Best of all, it keeps beautifully in the fridge so that you can enjoy a slice of holiday cheer all week long.

peppermint mocha oats

Peppermint Mocha Baked Oats

Although you totally deserve an exception to sneak in dessert for breakfast for holidays, with this peppermint mocha baked oats recipe, you can do it year-round without guilt. The oats bake up rich and chocolatey from the cacao and protein powder, while the peppermint adds that cool, refreshing bite. The texture lands somewhere between a brownie and a cozy winter bake, while the cashew icing gives it that creamy, sweet finish that ties everything together without overpowering the peppermint. And once you scatter crushed candy canes on top, the whole dish feels like a cheerful little celebration baked right into a pan.

It’s hearty, wholesome, and makes the kind of breakfast that everyone keeps coming back for on a chilly holiday morning.

carrot cake baked oat

Carrot Cake Baked Oats

This is carrot cake… disguised as breakfast, but don’t worry—I won’t mind if you have seconds before 10 a.m. Fluffy oats, grated carrot, warming cinnamon and nutmeg, sweet cranberries, and crunchy walnuts come together in a bake that’s rich in flavour and texture without feeling heavy. When you top it with a creamy, high-protein homemade vegan icing made from silken tofu and vanilla protein powder, that’s when it becomes truly festive-worthy.

I love spreading it on bagels or pancakes or even spooning a dollop over baked oats for an extra festive touch. It keeps well in the fridge so you can enjoy a high-protein, fall-inspired breakfast all holiday week.

Aside from gameday, I love serving these holiday crostini as a starter or side every Thanksgiving and Christmas.

The orange zest in the cranberries adds a bright, festive note, while the nooch in the ricotta gives a subtle savoury depth that makes every bite irresistible.
