Read on to discover the perfect vegan holiday menu that we ho-ho-hope you’ll enjoy this celebratory season.
Vegan Holiday Appetizers
At any gathering, appetizers are a way to introduce your guests to the rest of your menu. Easy handheld bites and shareable dips are delicious options for vegan holiday appetizers. Make them extra festive by presenting them with seasonal plates, platters, or bowls.
Farm Boy™ Spicy Kale Eda-Yummy Dip
A customer favourite that’s fresh, zesty, and just the tiniest bit spicy, this dip is perfect with your favourite chips or crackers. It also pairs well with a cheery spread of colourful crudité!
Farm Boy™ Kimchi Dumplings
Ready in minutes, this vegan appetizer is a host’s dream! Fry or steam them for easy serving and pair with a flavourful dipping sauce for a memorable bite.
Farm Boy™ Tabouleh
This authentic Lebanese parsley salad is a flavour-packed mouthful of aromatic parsley, tomatoes, lemon, and garlic. Serve with your favourite plant-based crackers or chips.
Farm Boy™ Vegan Gluten-Free Slider Trio
Vegan and gluten-free, this slider trio comes in three varieties: black bean, falafel, and sweet potato. Dress them up with your preferred buns and toppings and let guests choose their favourite!
Plant-Based Soups
Warm up the crowd with hearty, homestyle soup. Our soups are all made from scratch in small batches by us, using only the highest quality of ingredients for the best flavour. Much more convenient than cooking up a pot yourself, simply heat and serve. We recommend these plant-based soups for extra seasonal points.
Farm Boy™ Coconut Curry Lentil Soup
If a South Asian vibe is what you’re after, this soup is sure to deliver. Sweetly spicy with coconut milk, mango chutney, and curry powder, garnish it with a swirl of coconut milk and a sprig of Thai basil (or regular basil).
Farm Boy™ Tomato Basil Soup
Bright and smooth, this classic vegan soup is just the right colour for your holiday party! Accented with fresh basil and a spritz of orange juice for brightness, serve it with fresh basil or homemade croutons for garnish.
Farm Boy™ Carrot Ginger Soup
An autumnal soup with a matching vibrant hue, our Carrot Ginger Soup is delicate and earthy. Carrot, coconut milk, and maple syrup add a natural sweetness. Serve garnished with a drizzle of coconut milk and spiced pepitas, if desired.
Vibrant Vegan Salads
Set the holiday table with a magnificent, shareable salad! Seasonal produce shines in these vegan holiday recipes. A colourful, nutritious, and flavour-packed addition to your celebration, simply swap our plant-based cheese alternatives (or omit entirely) for any of these dishes.
Winter Orange and Pomegranate Salad with Candied Pecans
This beautiful plated salad can be prepped ahead of time for easier serving. Make your candied pecans and balsamic fig dressing a day or two before so the rest of this salad comes together quickly. With its jewel-like colours and refreshing flavour, it’s a festive addition to your holiday table.
Warm Kale, Apple, and Butternut Squash Salad
Crunchy, fresh, sweet, and savoury, this salad has everything. With the beautiful colours of roasted butternut squash, fresh apple, and kale, it makes eating your veggies a lot more fun! Dressed with our Simply 6 Original Vinaigrette, it’s a bright, tangy option for your plant-based holiday meal.
Roasted Acorn Squash and Kale Salad
Squash is a staple ingredient for the holidays and salad is no exception. This vegan recipe uses acorn squash, plus seasonally inspired items like dried cranberries and pumpkin seeds for a unique twist on the usual salad course.
Vegan Parmezzalad
Elevate your salad game that turns butternut squash into savoury croutons with the help of our Original Vegan Parmezzan! Rich, crunchy, and supremely satisfying, it’s made with wholesome ingredients that can only be found at Farm Boy.
Meatless Holiday Mains
For a showstopper of a main course, either of these vegan Christmas dishes are worthy of the crown. Filling and flavourful, you can prepare one of them or both to give your guests options (depending on how many have been invited). Whatever you choose, they’re both delicious!
Glazed Holiday Tofu Roast
A savoury, plant-based centrepiece without the fuss? Count us in! Marinate your tofu for at least 24 hours to really infuse it with that sweet-and-spicy marinade. A beautiful vegan Christmas dish, it has a rich flavour, gorgeous caramelization, and a tender texture.
Moroccan Vegetable Tagine
Cut yourself a break from the holiday stress with this one-pot plant-based meal that dives deep into aromatic flavours. Seasonal veggies shine here, with squash, carrots, and eggplant in the mix. Feeling spicy? Add some extra heat with chili flakes.
Plant-Based Seasonal Sides
Ho-ho-hold the eggs and dairy for these festive vegan side dishes! While some of the below recipes aren’t written exclusively as vegan, please know that any recipe can made by substituting our plant-based cheese alternatives and plant-based butters in the place of those dairy-filled items. We promise you won’t lose out on flavour!
Festive Quinoa Pilaf
This bright and cheerful pilaf is a festive complement to your holiday table. While we love the pomegranate arils for their ruby hue, you can use dried cranberries, dates, or apricots instead if you’d prefer.
Hasselback Roasted Butternut Squash
Another elegant presentation, this squash dish blows regular old mash out of the water! Garnished with toasted pecans and pomegranate arils, we’ve ditched the blue cheese to make this vegan side dish.
Crispy Smashed Potatoes with Spicy Toum
Move over, mashed potatoes, these plant-based crispy potatoes are here to stay! An easy crowd-pleaser, we’ve served these with our Spicy Toum, a Lebanese-style garlic sauce made with just six simple ingredients.
Quinoa Stuffed Acorn Squash
