25 Vegan Holiday Main Dishes That Will Be The Star of the Show (2024)

As I scroll through this post, I feel like I should just be saying "tahdah!" 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 deservesthat "wow" factor at their holiday feasts. Mission totally accomplished. Whether you're celebrating Thanksgiving, Christmas, or any other holidayfeast, there is something here that is sure to please everyone (vegan or not).

Prepare for the oooh's andahhh'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.
