Vegan Christmas food Thread

[Breathmiller]

Hi all

I thought it might be good to have a Christmas food thread so we can be inspired by all everyone's delicious vegan ideas for Christmas.

On Christmas Day we are having.

Pastries (i am also gf and my daughter is going to make me vegan gf almond croissants - i cannot wait!)
Christmas dinner
Starter- homemade mushroom and tarragon pate with lemon on melba toasts. It is sooo tasty.
Main course
Our traditional nut roast that we have had for decades. It usually has egg in it but I will put an alternative in this year to bind - any ideas?). ALL the trimmings.

Dessert - thinking of making a cashew cheesecake and I have found a vegan gf Christmas pudding.

We are also having another traditional boxing day meal so will look forward to your ideas.

Breakfast
I’m having cinnamon rolls and figs

Lunch
For starter I’m having smoked carrot lox cream cheese on homemade vegan blinis

For main I’m having Sainsbury’s no turkey crown with pigs in blankets, bread sauce, roasties, brussels carrots and parsnips

Fivemoreminutes1 I love your dedication to each meal

I might have to order that vegan cheese fondue.

Love the sound of Black Forest Bircher

These all sound amazing... I'm really stuck for what to do so does anyone else have any more of their menus?!

At my mum’s so she is doing sides and usual stuff for everyone else, I’m making my own beetroot Wellington to have in place of their salon en croute on Christmas Eve, brownies with ices cream for everyone for pud. Cinammon rolls for everyone christmas morning, and a nut roast with dates and butternut squash in place of their Turkey for the main event - chocolate Christmas spices cheesecake for pud

I do need a starter - they’re all having smoked salmon and cream cheese on cucumber, would love some ideas (though I’m not going shopping again!)
