Best Vegan Christmas Food 2025: UK Supermarket Launches & Festive Treats to Try

From peta.org.uk

The 2025 festive season has brought us some of the best vegan supermarket Christmas food yet. Festive feasting has come a long way – from classic nut roasts to showstopping vegan roast beef and turkey and indulgent Christmas pudding – all without the cruelty. Enjoying a traditional vegan Christmas dinner doesn’t require any unnecessary effort, either. All it takes is a trip to your local Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Aldi, M&S, Morrisons, or Asda.

From “turkey” crowns to shimmery chocolate snowflakes, here are the best vegan festive foods to try in 2025.

Best Vegan Christmas Food to Try in 2025 – Supermarket Round-Up

Supermarkets have stepped up their game when it comes to plant-based Christmas food this year, offering a diverse range of options for every cruelty-free eater. Whether you’re a vegan meat fanatic or prefer to keep it old school with a plate of tasty vegetable-led dishes, there really is something for everyone. We’re calling it: this year’s Christmas vegan food line-up might be our best yet!

Please note: all products are available while stocks last, and items may not be available at all supermarkets. 

Tesco Vegan Christmas Range 2025

Tesco

This colourful wellington will brighten up your Christmas table

For traditional Christmas dinner enthusiasts, Tesco has relaunched its Plant Chef No-Turkey Crown with Sage and Onion Stuffing for the 2025 festive season.

Each year, millions of turkeys are killed for Christmas dinner in the UK. But there’s nothing festive about plopping a dead bird on the table. Here’s a better idea: Tesco’s cruelty-free turkey is made from pea and wheat protein and comes complete with a sage melt and herb crumb. It serves four and makes for an excellent centrepiece – with no animals harmed.

Elsewhere at Tesco, you’ll find the Finest Roasted Vegetable and Cranberry Star, a gorgeous main that will instantly make your table more festive. It features roasted butternut squash, roasted parsnip, dried cranberries, and chestnuts, all wrapped up in a star-shaped puff pastry. Veg fans will also enjoy the Finest Roasted Butternut Squash Wellington, a colourful mix of layered vegetables in a pastry crust.

No Christmas dinner is complete without vegan pigs in blankets, and Plant Chef’s Meat-Free Bangers in Blankets offer all the taste without the cruelty that comes with eating pig flesh.

For dessert, opt for the Finest Free From Dark Chocolate and Cherry Festive Wreath.

Morrisons Vegan Christmas Range 2025

Morrisons

Morrisons is offering a shimmery vegan chocolate snowflake as part of its Christmas range

If you’d rather skip the vegan turkey and indulge in a table full of cruelty-free Christmas desserts this festive period, Morrisons may just be your best bet. The supermarket’s Free From Honeycomb Snowflake is truly a showstopper. It consists of a hefty chunk of tiffin made with dark chocolate, honeycomb, and shortbread, finished with a bronze shimmer that’ll have your Christmas dinner table sparkling.

You’ll also find all the usual contenders at Morrisons: including No-Pigs in Blankets, a No-Turkey Joint with Onion and Herb Stuffing, Mushroom Chestnut and Parsnip Wellington, and even some Maple Roasted Chestnut, Cranberry, and Orange Stuffing Baubles that go perfectly with vegan turkey.

Top tip: for nut roast enthusiasts, the Butternut Squash, Chestnut, and Cranberry Wreath makes for a beautiful and tasty centrepiece.

Marks & Spencer Vegan Christmas Food 2025

Marks & Spencer

These Bubble & Squeak Vegetable Stacks are new for 2025

For those who like splashing out for Christmas Day, Marks and Spencer’s Christmas line-up is the stuff of legend. The supermarket was one of the first major retailers to introduce a meat-free turkey option in its Christmas range with its now iconic “No Turkey” Christmas sandwich.

The following year, it announced a vegan turkey roast, which it still offers today in the form of the Plant Kitchen No Turkey Crown. Pigs in Blankets and Chocolate Tortes are also on offer, as well as brand-new Bubble & Squeak Vegetable Stacks featuring red onion marmalade, butternut squash, and a pumpkin seed crumb.

Sainsbury’s Vegan Christmas Range 2025

Sainsbury's

The Sainsbury’s vegan turkey comes wrapped in a plant-based bacon lattice

Vegan cheese fans will be delighted to learn that Sainsbury’s is offering Leek and Walnut Tarts complete with dairy-free cheddar. They’re perfect as a side dish or Boxing Day meal. For Sainsbury’s vegan Christmas mains, you can choose from the No Turkey Crown or Festive Nut Roast.

The vegan turkey offered by Sainsbury’s is a definite contender for one of the best of the bunch, as it comes wrapped in a plant-based bacon lattice.

Elsewhere at Sainsbury’s, you can find the Vegan Trimmings Selection, complete with 10 plant-based pigs in blankets and 12 mushroom stuffing balls.

For dessert, you can – of course – count on the trusty Dark Chocolate Torte.

Aldi Vegan Christmas Range 2025

Aldi

Who said cheese boards need dairy?

Aldi’s vegan range is nothing short of iconic in the animal-friendly community – and the supermarket’s Christmas food offering is no different.

As well as classic No Pigs in Blankets and Sage and Onion Stuffed Tofu Roasting Joint, you can get the Vegan Cheese Selection Pack – complete with White Style with Cranberries, Jalapeño and Chilli, Mature Style, and Mature Style with Black Pepper. The budget retailer also includes a Specially Selected No Beef Fillet Roasting Joint in its line-up – perfect for vegan meat fans who want something a little bit different.

Asda Vegan Christmas Range 2025

Asda

Asda’s Butternut, Cranberry & Chestnut Roast makes for a gorgeous vegetable-led centrepiece

We may just have saved the best for last. Asda has been knocking it out of the park with its vegan Christmas food for years, and it has expanded its already impressive collection for 2025.

In addition to the No Turkey Crown with Caramelised Onion and Herb Stuffing and Mushroom Wellington, you can opt for the Exceptional Roasted Butternut, Cranberry and Chestnut Roast. This veggie-heavy centrepiece is bursting with festive flavours. It’s the perfect addition to any Christmas meal.

And, in what is probably the most exciting vegan Christmas launch since M&S’s No Turkey sandwich, Asda has introduced Choc Malt Balls in its plant-based OMV! Range this year. If you haven’t already guessed, these crunchy chocolate treats are distinctly reminiscent of Maltesers, and they look like little festive baubles. Fill up your trolley: they’re the perfect stocking filler.

Other Supermarket Vegan Highlights

Waitrose

These Waitrose Polar Bear Bao Buns are perfect for Christmas parties

There is a wide range of vegan options at all major supermarkets, so you should be able to find something wherever you do your weekly shop. If you’re a Waitrose fan, you’ll find the Plant-Based Turkey Roast with Trimmings, No.1 Festive 5 Nut Roast, Apple and Cranberry Cocktail Sausages, Balsamic Beetroot and Walnut Tarts, and even some adorable Polar Bear Bao Buns.

And don’t skip a trip to Co-op, either, as you’ll find tasty vegan options, such as the Irresistible Vegetable Fritter Slider Bao Buns Kit with Soy Dip – the ideal canapé for your Christmas party – as well as Merry Mince Pies.

Lidl has significantly expanded its vegan range in recent years, and its 2025 plant-based Christmas food offering includes a Vegan Sausage and Cranberry Wreath.

Vegan Supermarket Christmas Food FAQs:

Marks & Spencer

It couldn’t be easier to enjoy a traditional Christmas dinner without eating animals

Which Supermarkets Offer the Best Vegan Christmas food in 2025?

Asda is one of the top supermarkets for vegan Christmas food in 2025, thanks to its wide range of innovative mains, sides, and desserts. However, Tesco, Sainsbury’s, M&S, Morrisons, and Aldi also offer excellent plant‑based festive ranges. The best approach is to shop around, as every UK supermarket has standout vegan Christmas products this year.

What is the Best Vegan Christmas Main in 2025?

The Sainsbury’s Taste the Difference No Turkey Crown wrapped in vegan bacon is one of the best vegan Christmas mains in 2025, offering a plant-based turkey with sage and onion stuffing and loads of festive flavour. For a vegetable‑focused centrepiece, the Tesco Finest Roasted Vegetable and Cranberry Star is a delicious option that looks and tastes perfect for the Christmas table.

What’s the Best Vegan Christmas Dessert for 2025?

The dairy‑free chocolate torte remains a festive favourite across supermarkets, but for a true showstopper, the Morrisons Free From Honeycomb Snowflake is one of the best vegan Christmas desserts in 2025. It’s indulgent, eye‑catching, and ideal for impressing guests.

Are Vegan Christmas Puddings Available in 2025?

Yes, vegan Christmas puddings are widely available in 2025. Supermarkets including Asda, Tesco, Sainsbury’s, and Aldi all stock plant‑based Christmas puddings, including a gluten‑free option. That means no one will miss out on this traditional festive dessert.

Can You Buy Vegan Mince Pies?

Absolutely. Vegan mince pies are easy to find in 2025. While it’s always a good idea to check the ingredients, many supermarket options are plant-based as standard, while others are clearly aimed at the vegan market. Even Greggs’ mince pies are vegan-friendly.

Can You Get Budget‑Friendly Vegan Christmas Food in UK Supermarkets?

Yes. Aldi and Lidl are the best supermarkets for budget‑friendly vegan Christmas food in 2025, offering mains, sides, and dairy-free desserts at lower prices. Tesco and Asda also provide affordable vegan festive options without compromising on taste.

Where Can I Buy Vegan Christmas Food?

You can buy vegan Christmas food both in‑store and online at all major supermarkets, including Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Asda, Morrisons, Aldi, Lidl, M&S, and Waitrose. Popular products often sell out quickly, so pre‑ordering or shopping early is recommended.

The Margherita Pizzetta is a single-serving pizza made with hand-stretched sourdough and topped with tomato sauce, vegan cheese, and Italian herbs. The Cheezy Garlic Flatbread is also made from hand-stretched sourdough, and is topped with garlic oil, vegan cheese, and parsley.

Retail success

One Planet Pizza gained its first major retail listing in 2022 as part of Asda’s incubator program. The trial proved successful, and the brand became permanently available at Asda the following year.

One Planet Pizza’s range currently includes four full-size pizzas — Veg Tex Mex, Peppernomi, Hawaiian, and Margherita — as well as the two new products.

“You can count on us to keep pushing plant-based pizzas out to mainstream consumers, educating and empowering as many people as possible, and helping them eat and live more sustainably,” One Planet Pizza told vegconomist in 2023.

Confectionery brand Galaxy has launched two soft-centred dairy-free bars in two new festive flavours: Orange and Caramelised Biscuit.

Part of the brand’s Galaxy Dairy Free Gift for You line, each bar is shaped like a miniature Christmas present, complete with a bow, making them ideal stocking fillers or small festive treats. Beneath their smooth, dairy-free chocolate shell lies a soft, indulgent centre that delivers all the pleasure of Galaxy, without the milk.

The Orange variety combines the classic festive pairing of chocolate and citrus in a snack-sized bar, while Caramelised Biscuit offers a rich, spiced sweetness for those who prefer something a little cosier.

Both new vegan chocolate bars are crafted with hazelnut paste for that signature silky Galaxy texture, and are produced in a completely dairy- and gluten-free environment. They’re also registered with The Vegan Society, so everyone can enjoy them with confidence.

The bars will be available from Tesco on 13 October 2025 and Morrisons on 1 November, priced at £1.50 each.

Inside the new vegan selection box from Galaxy are two Salted Caramel bars filled with silky vegan caramel and two Honeycomb bars studded with crunchy honeycomb pieces. Like the rest of the range, each one is made with smooth hazelnut paste to create that signature Galaxy melt.

The Selection Box will be available exclusively at Tesco from 16 October 2025, with an RRP of £5.50.

Meatless Farm launches ‘restaurant quality’ vegan sourdough pizzas

From veganfoodandliving.com

Meatless Farm has launched two new vegan sourdough pizzas, offering a healthier, meat-free alternative to takeaways

Plant-based brand Meatless Farm has added two exciting new vegan pizzas to its range, aiming to offer a healthier, plant-based option for pizza lovers.

With the new Ham & Mushroom Style and Spicy Pepperoni Style Sourdough Pizzas, Meatless Farm promises a convenient, satisfying solution for those seeking a quick, plant-based treat.

Now available in Sainsbury’s, these new additions aim to deliver “restaurant-quality” flavour and texture, making them an appealing choice for anyone looking to cut back on meat without compromising on taste.

Priced at £5 each, the vegan pizzas feature hand-shaped sourdough bases, rich tomato sauce, and toppings inspired by popular meaty flavours but with less saturated fat than their non-vegan counterparts.

Meat Free-zer Fillers in Morrisons

In addition to the new plant-based sourdough pizzas, Meatless Farm is refreshing its range of frozen meat alternatives, with its updated Meat Free-zer Fillers available in Morrisons from 7th October.

Priced at £3 per pack, this revamped collection includes Beef Style Meatballs, Pork Style Sausages, Quarter Pounders, and Beef Style Mince, offering versatile, allergen-free options for quick and nutritious meals.

In a statement sent to Vegan Food & Living, Meatless Farm’s Brand Manager Lydia Brook emphasised that the brand has focused on using high-quality, plant-based ingredients to meet the demand for “flavoursome, plant-based foods that replicate the taste, texture, and nutritional content of meat.”

“With quality a priority, we’ve focussed a lot of time on perfecting our ingredients, for example, using high protein meat substitutes with less saturated fat, but no less flavour,” Brook said.

The brand is particularly proud of the improved Beef Style Meatballs, which Meatless Farm says now offer a more realistic texture and taste that it believes could rival real meat.

With eye-catching new packaging, the upgraded range also benefits from larger product sizes, providing even more value for money.

A fresh start for Meatless Farm

Founded in 2016, Meatless Farm remains committed to offering delicious, environmentally friendly options for vegans, vegetarians, and flexitarians alike.

After being rescued from administration by VFC in 2023, Meatless Farm joined VFC under Vegan Food Group, a collective of plant-based brands aiming to revolutionise the market.

Now part of a growing movement towards plant-based eating, Meatless Farm continues to offer products that replicate the flavour and nutritional benefits of meat, while being kinder to the planet.

The brand’s recent innovations and product expansions demonstrate its dedication to encouraging more people to switch to plant-based diets.

As Lydia Brook put it, the versatile ranges offer “an environmentally friendly solution that tastes great,” helping more Brits make the switch for both health and environmental benefits.

Meatless Farm Launches Two New ‘Meaty’ Sourdough Pizzas

From plantbasednews.org

Meatless Farm is expanding its line of plant-based pizzas 

Meatless Farm has announced the release of two vegan meat pizzas in UK supermarkets.

The British plant-based brand, which was saved from administration by the Vegan Food Group (VFG) last year, offers a wide range of popular meat-free meals and products.

Now, it’s added Ham & Mushroom Style and Spicy Pepperoni Style Sourdough Pizzas, which it says is in response to skyrocketing demand for plant-based pizza. (Google searches for “vegan pizza toppings” have grown by 70 percent in the last 60 days, according to the brand).

As well as the pizzas, Meatless Farm has also revamped its frozen range, including Beef Style Meatballs, Pork Style Sausages, and Quarter Pounders. The meatballs have a new recipe, and the sausages and quarter pounders have increased in size.

“Our new Meatless Farm product ranges have been created to cater for the growing demand for flavoursome, plant-based foods that replicate the taste, texture, and nutritional content of meat,” Lydia Brook, Brand Manager at Meatless Farm, said in a statement. “With quality a priority, we’ve focussed a lot of time on perfecting our ingredients, for example, using high protein meat substitutes with less saturated fat, but no less flavour. We’re especially proud of our Beef Style Meatballs, which we believe are not only the best tasting meatballs in the plant-based-sphere, but also the meat-sphere!”

The pizzas are available from Sainsbury’s stores, while the upgraded frozen items are in Morrisons.

Meatless Farm saved from administration

In June 2023, Meatless Farm made headlines after it was announced that the company had entered administration. In an email to investors at the time, founder Morten Toft Bech said he was “devastated and heartbroken over the situation.” He explained that the company was “doing well,” but that some investors had decided not to invest further.

Later that month, however, VFG (which was then just VFC) confirmed that it had acquired the brand.

“We firmly believe that this development will yield considerable benefits for our valued customers, suppliers, and consumers,” VFC CEO Dave Sparrow said at the time. “Please rest assured that our collective leadership and all team members are wholly committed to maintaining business as usual.”

A few months later, VFC became part of the newly-formed VFG. The group, headed by VFC founder Matthew Glover, owns vegan brands including Clive’s and TOFUTOWN, as well as Meatless Farm.

“VFG is poised to be a leading force in the plant-based sector,” Glover previously told Plant Based News. “We’re not just participating in the market; we’re leading the movement.”
