What do vegans eat for Christmas?

Sometimes making a Christmas recipe vegan is as simple as swapping butter for oil or using maple syrup instead of honey. But often it’s better to have a specific vegan recipe so you know that the results will be great.
If you’re cooking for a crowd, try making most of the sides vegan – your meat-eating guests will never know the difference. Then include the option of a vegan main to round out the rest of your menu. It’s an easy way to make everyone at your table happy!
