I grew up in a house that celebrated all of these holidays. For me, holiday food is a mashup of dishes that all have one thing in common: they are total comfort food.
As an adult, I am always looking for vegan holiday recipes that aren't necessarily traditional but are definitely hearty and cozy.
Instead of dividing the list below by holiday, I'm dividing it by course to make meal planning easier. Take a gander, and build your ideal vegan holiday menu from the recipes below!
