The Biggest Vegan Christmas Food Launches For 2025

With less than two months to go until Christmas, supermarkets are ramping up their festive plant-based ranges ahead of the holiday season. Here’s everything yule need to know about the biggest vegan Christmas food launches for 2025, which includes both new treats and some returning holiday favorites from previous years.

Will the UK be having a plant-based Christmas this year?

A report published by the Good Food Institute (GFI) in June found that “double-digit growth” of increasingly affordable private label products has driven an increase in plant-based sales in Europe, particularly in France, Germany, Italy, and Spain. In contrast, GFI noted that innovative new products were now the main drivers of sales in the UK, with premium meat-free brands showing “strong” growth.

In 2024, UK customers purchased 35.8 million kg of plant-based meat and 11.9 million kg of tofu, tempeh, seitan, and vegetable-based products like bean burgers. Research by Tesco found that more than 25 percent of British households specifically planned to include plant-based mains in their 2024 Christmas meals.

“We know that a number of customers are choosing plant-based diets and we’re seeing an increase in desire for Christmas centerpieces that are meat-free,” Breige Donaghy, Tesco product development and innovation director, said in a statement.

While the plant-based market has gone through a lot of changes over the last year, supermarkets are still catering to vegans, flexitarians, and vegetarians this Christmas. Just the Big Four – Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Morrisons, and Asda – are rolling out a huge variety of mains, sides, and free-from desserts, such as the No-Turkey Crown & Sage Melt from Tesco and a giant chocolate snowflake from Morrisons.

The Biggest Vegan Christmas Food Launches For 2025

Here are the biggest vegan Christmas food launches of 2025 so far.

The Tesco vegan Christmas range

Tesco has already launched two frozen mains ahead of the holiday season: the Plant Chef Seasonal Seeded Roasts with Port Gravy and the Plant Chef No Turkey Crown with Sage and Onion Stuffing, a returning favorite first launched in 2020.

The company is also offering two vegan-friendly chilled mains: the Tesco Plant Chef No-Turkey Crown & Sage Melt, and the Tesco Finest Roasted Butternut Squash Wellington. In an email to Plant Based News (PBN), Tesco confirmed that its Finest No-Beef Bourguignon Pie is suitable for vegans. (However, the plant-based version is not to be confused with the similarly-named Tesco Finest Beef Bourguignon Pie, which does contain meat.)

Tesco also stocks some other main-style options, such as the Finest Butternut Squash, Chickpea & Chili Parcels, which are not listed as vegan but appear to be free from animal-derived ingredients. (Make sure to check the label carefully before buying.)

Festive vegan sides for 2025 include meat-free mini pasties, Bombay potato toasties, and Plant Chef Laksa Cones, which feature green-striped pastry filled with seasoned vegetables. For dessert, Tesco has launched the new Finest Free From Dark Chocolate & Cherry Festive Wreath.
