As I scroll through this post, I feel like I should just be saying "tah dah!" over and over again! I bopped around the net searching for gorgeous vegan holiday main dishes because as much as side dishes are good, everyone deserves that "wow" factor at their holiday feasts. Mission totally accomplished. Whether you're celebrating Thanksgiving, Christmas, or any other holiday feast, there is something here that is sure to please everyone (vegan or not).
Prepare for the oooh's and ahhh's, I've collected lentil loaves, stuffed squash, pot pies, shepherd's pie, tarts, wellingtons, and all things totally centerpiece worthy....
See what I mean!? "Tah Dah!" Is totally the right word for these dishes.
If you are looking for side dishes, check out my collection of 8 Traditional Thanksgiving and Christmas Sides Made Vegan. If this is your first holiday as a vegan, you might fin my tips on How to Survive the Holidays as a Vegan helpful.
