12 Vegan Christmas Recipes 🎄

[@TastyThriftyTimely]

If you were making a 12 days of Christmas list what recipes would you make?! 🍐🐢...🎄😋

[@sunnyshealthcoaching]

ALL OF THEM 🎉🎉 I'm new to your Channel and I'm so excited I found you! Thank you for all the amazing recipes, I'm going to bring many of these to holiday parties I am going to. I'm a new subscriber🎉

[@TastyThriftyTimely]

Oh wonderful! We’re so glad you found us and please keep us posted with what you try and how everyone likes them!! Happy Holidays!

[@joannrector6762]

I love all your recipes and thank you for sharing

[@TastyThriftyTimely]

We’re so glad you love them! Thank you so much for watching and letting us know 🥰

[@Raddiebaddie]

I disagree with those saying it’s not “healthy” enough or whatever. Throughout the year in my general cooking I do oil free as well but Christmas is supposed to be decadent and special! If someone wants to omit oil that’s fine but I’m glad your channel is keeping the richness in the special occasion.

[@TastyThriftyTimely]

Thank you 🤗 I’m glad you’re enjoying the recipes and appreciate having the option to indulge a little around the holidays with these fun dishes 😋

[@joannrector6762]

I would like to see some New Years Day recipes

[@TastyThriftyTimely]

This is great to know. We tend to have similar food to what we would make for Christmas. New Year’s Eve we tend to have more finger foods/appetizers. Do you have any traditions on New Year’s Day that call for more specific kinds of recipes?

Thank you! Great idea to compile a festive recipe video ❤ I love little tips you give as you explain the process. You inspire me to try and make more of the traditional recipes I grew up with into a vegan recipe. I will sure to try many of these recipes. Have a great week!

[@TastyThriftyTimely]

I’m so glad you liked this video and it’s inspired you to experiment with the recipes you grew up with! I hope you have fun cooking and baking this holiday season!

[@jilldigwood4328]

Thanks for sharing this compilation of Christmas recipes. They all look so scrumptious. I will definitely be making the wellington, quiche and peppermint patties at some point and will share them to Pinterest . Much love from Spain ❤️

[@TastyThriftyTimely]

Oh wonderful! We’re so glad you’ll be trying those recipes Jill! Thank you for sharing them and we’re excited to hear how you like them!

[@pennynolan7597]

My favorite Christmas time food was Tortierre. It was a pie made pork a ground beef flavored with sage and pepper. I'd love a vegan version.

[@TastyThriftyTimely]

Ooo yes! I had a traditional Tortierre once in Quebec and it still sticks in my mind because it was so delicious. I would think maybe a mushroom and lentil combo could work so I’ll definitely put that on my list for next year!

[@tamcon72]

What a great survey of some of your more festive recipes! I'm not ready to think about Christmas foods, yet, as I'm still coming down from Thanksgiving (there's benefit to having it sooner in the autumn, as you do!), but it will give me inspiration later this month. Thanks for posting 🙂

[@TastyThriftyTimely]

Yes having a longer separation between the two holidays helps a little! I’m glad this will be here for you when you’re ready to dive into more holiday planning 😜!

Made the Portuguese cookies this morning for a Cookie Exchange. So delish because they aren't too sweet. Will surely be making them again.

[@TastyThriftyTimely]

Oh great! Thank you so much for trying them and letting me know you liked them! It’s so fun to know they went to a cookie exchange and were probably a little different than the other types of cookies ☺️

[@sjnordell1367]

The Cookie Exchange is on Saturday and I'm The only vegan so won't be taking any home. Made a different recipe earlier this week and the squirrels really enjoyed them. Love your recipes but it's only me so I have to cut back on the amount of ingredients. As of January 1 it will be 35 years since becoming vegan. Much easier now.

[@TastyThriftyTimely]

Oh I hope someone might surprise you with a vegan cookie so you can take something home (we both know there are lots of vegan cookie recipes that non vegans would enjoy too!) I’m glad you’ve been enjoying my recipes and have been able to modify them for yourself. Hopefully I’ll have a few more next year that are easy to portion and freeze for future meals (like lasagna for instance). Congrats on your upcoming 35 year vegan anniversary! 👏 🎉

[@normawingo5116]

Happy Holidays to you too. Thank you for sharing all your yummy food. That Wellington is gorgeous and I can’t wait to try them!

[@TastyThriftyTimely]

🤗 definitely let me know what you try! The Wellington is definitely one of our favourites 😋

[@supergenkilife]

Love a date syrup recipe ☆ So versatile, so necessary for all the whole-food desserts. Will try the stone fruit dessert this year!!

[@TastyThriftyTimely]

Oh great! That one is so pretty and delicious I hope you really enjoy it! I haven’t published a recipe for it yet but I’ve been making a thicker date syrup recently with tahini added in (if you’re looking for something closer to a caramel for any of your desserts you can give that a try!)

[@gwendolynsmith9532]

This looks and sounds wonderful! I love fruit pies, but I generally leave a lot of the crust, so this makes much more sense! Mmmm! 😋

[@TastyThriftyTimely]

Oh good! I hope you like it if you give it a try! Sounds like a crumble or a crisp with a lighter topping might be a little more down your alley too!

[@MessyVegan-g6b]

All looks so yummy! Do you have a vegan eggnog recipe? I miss eggnog!

[@TastyThriftyTimely]

I’m glad you like it! And funny you should ask 😄 so many people have been asking for one that I’ve been working on it this week. We’ll have a short come out next week with a little video and if you keep an eye on our blog or community tab I’ll link the recipe when it’s live!

[@marciedge4938]

This is my first time viewing your channel. Love the recipes. I made vegan Chili for Thankgiving. Hanukkah and Christmas are on the same day. Vegan latkas will be on the menu.

[@TastyThriftyTimely]

Ooo latkes for Hanukkah & Christmas sounds perfect! Chili is a great Thanksgiving meal too. It’s not one I would usually think about for Thanksgiving but it’s the perfect warm weather food and easily feeds a crowd! We’re so glad you found our channel and love the look of the recipes so far! 👋🏼 🤗

[@konradzuse4778]

Beet Wellington! Wow, what a great idea - thank you so much! We won’t try it for Christmas (that’s reserved for our vegan specials + Swiss cheese fondue - the one non-vegan meal of the year!), but I’ll definitely give it a go in January!

[@TastyThriftyTimely]

Oooo that sounds delicious 😊 I’m glad the Wellington caught your eye and I hope you like it when you try it in January! Enjoy your Christmas meal 🎄!

I pronounce it “aneeece” (anise) too!

[@TastyThriftyTimely]

Haha 👏 perfect 😝 I’ve always pronounced it like that and when I found out it’s also pronounced “ann-iss” like “miss”… I just couldn’t bring myself to say it that way. I’ll stick with the French influenced Canadian pronunciation lol

[@nwhitehead5996]

I just found y’all! I’m gonna try your cheese recipe for a family party full of non vegans. I’m hoping to fool them!!!😂

[@TastyThriftyTimely]

Haha circle back and let me know what they think! My guess is they will know it’s different but probably won’t be able to figure out what it’s made from 😝

[@alyssaadam6]

I need to make a family German cookie plant based for Christmas. If you could make eggnog plant Mt family would love that!

[@TastyThriftyTimely]

Oh that sounds great! What is the German cookie? I wrote down a Swiss cookie a few years ago that I haven’t tried yet but a friend of mine makes the traditional version “mailänderli”. I just went back through my recipe testing notes and remembered I have an eggnog recipe in the works so I’ll try it out again tonight and hopefully put up a short video in a few days with it!

@TastyThriftyTimely the cookie is Lekuchen

[@messymia2899]

I just found your channel and I’m really enjoying all your holiday recipes. I’ve been missing quiche but I’m allergic to soy. Can you think of anything i could substitute for the tofu to use in your quiche recipe? Thanks for any help!

[@TastyThriftyTimely]

Welcome 👋🏼 I’m glad you’re enjoying our holiday recipes! I actually have a note in the recipe card on the blog for the quiche about making it soy-free! You can try replacing the tofu with 1 1/4 cup unsweetened plant milk and increasing the chickpea flour in the recipe to 2/3 cup. I haven’t tried that version in awhile but other than using a product like “just egg” chickpea flour seems to be the most commonly used ingredient for soy-free vegan quiche. I hope this helps and let me know if you try it!

[@messymia2899]

@ Thank you so much for answering back. I’m definitely going to try it! I’ve ordered the chickpea flour. So I’ll let you know.😊

[@TastyThriftyTimely]

Ok great! It’s typically pretty inexpensive for me so hopefully you found the same!

[@AThirstyPhilosopher]

Thanks for this video! Do you think the French toast and quiche would work with gluten-free bread/crust options?

[@TastyThriftyTimely]

Definitely! Gluten free bread should certainly work for the French toast. I haven’t tried it myself so I’m not sure if it might take a little less or a little more time in the oven to get crispy so just keep a closer eye on it but otherwise I think it should be fine! I also think a 1:1 gluten free flour blend should work well for the crust. Just add the water 1 tbsp at a time so you can get the right hydration for the dough to just come together. Keep me posted if you give them a try!

[@AThirstyPhilosopher]

Thank you! I will let you know! 🙂

[@TastyThriftyTimely]

@AThirstyPhilosopher perfect!

[@reneewhite8255]

Your recipes look great, but I dont eat butter. Is there an alternative for your French toast and cookies, especially?

[@reneewhite8255]

Plus gravy, mashed potatoes and party mix. Butter substitutes? Do you have an egg nog recipe?😊

[@TastyThriftyTimely]

Hmm for the French toast there is only butter in the drizzle so you could make the custard as is. The drizzle helps the toast to brown more and get crispier but you could probably achieve that by just mixing some maple syrup or even a granulated sugar with those extra spices and drizzling that overtop. The sugar should help the toast to caramelize enough in the oven. The cookies might be a little tougher to achieve the right texture without the butter but you could try using aquafaba (the brine in a can of chickpeas). If the dough is too dry you might just have to add a tablespoon more or so. Let me know if you give either of these a try!

[@TastyThriftyTimely]

I don’t have an egg nog recipe unfortunately! That’s a good one to put on my list though so I’ll keep that in mind for next year! For the gravy the butter contributes to the “roux” which thickens the gravy. I would probably try just omitting the butter and flour and instead combine the broth with the other seasonings and increase the amount of starch (arrowroot or cornstarch). I would think you’ll need at least 1.5 tbsps for the 2 cups of broth. Make sure to whisk the starch with just a bit of broth in a separate bowl until the starch is dissolved and then slowly add that into the gravy, bring to a low boil, simmer for 5 min or so and hopefully it thickens up enough for you. For the mashed potatoes the butter really just contributes to the richness of the flavour so you could use a bit of olive oil if you’d like or just use broth or milk (the flavour won’t be quite as rich but will still be great).

[@reneewhite8255]

@TastyThriftyTimely Thank you for all your alternate suggestions. Dr told me no oil or butter for health reasons. Think I could use aquafaba in the party mix? I'll definitely let you know how the recipes turn out with your suggestions. Love your videos. Keep them coming, please!

[@TastyThriftyTimely]

Oh right the party mix I’m sorry I forgot that one! I think you could use some aquafaba to mostly just help the other seasonings coat the cereal etc. I think 1/2 cup would probably be too much though. I wouldn’t want the water content in the aquafaba to make the cereal too soggy. I probably would try 1/4 cup max. You could just add dry seasonings to the mix and toast everything in the oven but I think you should be ok to use some aquafaba with the other seasonings. I’m sorry I haven’t tried it myself! I do hope some of these work arounds turn out well for you!

[@TastyThriftyTimely]

❤️ thanks for watching!! 🤗

[@blofeld39]

Those turtles... mon dieu! 😀Out of curiosity, have the cost of ingredients for any of these recipes gone either up or down since you initially made these videos? Can imagine the passage of time and economic factors can affect things, a little...

[@TastyThriftyTimely]

Haha ya those are pretty delicious! And yes the costs do fluctuate of course but at least the cost of the store-bought or traditional versions of these things also increases so the spread stays about the same. I’ve also found that some ingredients end up decreasing a bit and others increase so most haven’t had huge swings in price.

[@blofeld39]

@@TastyThriftyTimely Have you got a list made of what has and hasn't gone up? Like, I suppose, from "most-increased" to "no increase", or something like that? Just to keep things as thrifty as possible.🙂 Hope this is a "good-busy" week, by the way, even if you are working away from home a bit. I know a lot's getting shot in Vancouver, right now, and I'm looking forward to seeing which of them will be featuring your work! But I'm sure you can't say, just yet. ;-)

[@TastyThriftyTimely]

I do have a list but I also use cookkeepbook which is free online and you can input all your groceries (change the prices as they change) and input your recipes and calculate the cost 👍🏼 it’s super handy. And yes busy week this week. Feels like we’re in a crunch before Christmas to get things done. Some of the work I’ve done this year will definitely be released before spring next year 👍🏼

[@blofeld39]

@@TastyThriftyTimely I'll look up cookkeepbook, then! 🙂 Thought you might've wanted visitors to TTT to check back in about any price changes, so thank you so much, for that. Not even sure where in Vancouver it'd be shooting, but I know your old co-star is busy there on an Osgood Perkins joint. Wasn't sure if it was in the realm of possibility you'd bump into her, though -- from what I've been able to read, it's just a week of reshoots, apparently. 🙂

Oh cool ya I haven’t heard. I’m sure it’s a busy schedule. I’ll be there in a few days so you never know.

[@agnessztojka4496]

So many bad harmful ingredients ...all of them a no for me !Starchy , sugary , gluten , etc ...

[@TastyThriftyTimely]

These holiday recipes are certainly more indulgent than our regular weekly meals as they are not foods we eat all the time. We do eat gluten as we are not intolerant to it and we do have starches and less refined sugars. There may be some here that you can alter to fit your diet and if you have any questions about any particular recipe I can try to offer suggestions.

[@anavik9535]

Unfortunately I don't make your recipes even they look good! You are using way to much oil, butter and coconut milk!!!

[@TastyThriftyTimely]

That’s fair. These holiday recipes are certainly more indulgent and not the recipes we make on a weekly basis. We have a lot of oil-free recipes you might like if you haven’t seen the videos for those. You might love my seed cracker recipes which are great for platters around the holidays. We have a sweet potato bread that is oil-free, refined sugar-free and made with whole wheat flour! I have plenty more sauces, dips, cookies, granola, soups, and even main dishes that are oil-free or very easy to adapt by just sautéing with water or broth instead of a dash of oil for instance. I’ll put together an oil-free and very WFPB friendly playlist in the new year so that those recipes don’t get lost in the mix. I certainly strive to limit all those things in my day to day cooking so hopefully you’ll be able to find some recipes you’ll want to try. 🙂

[@blofeld39]

@@TastyThriftyTimely That's a really great way to respond, I think. 🙂I know some people would get mad at that. I really appreciate your addressing them and informing them like that.

[@1auntievenom]

I am oil free and will try some of these recipes while supplementing some of the ingredients to fit my diet. I went vegetarian 35 years ago and then vegan 9 years ago. I am gluten free and oil free. I have learned to make substitutions! If I were making this for family though, I would likely use the more indulgent foods. It is hard to impress my non plant based friends and family and I want them to see how delicious and effortless it is to be vegan. I can be more indulgent once or twice a year. The content on this channel is amazing! You truly have something to learn here and shouldn't dismiss it so quickly.

[@TastyThriftyTimely]

Thank you so much for adding your own experience here. I agree that there’s some value to indulging a bit when hosting non plant forward eaters and demonstrating that it can be easy and delicious! Once you’ve switched your eating habits it’s easier to not miss oil or extra sugar etc but I found that it does take a little bit of time to get there.
