A festive Christmas feast without the meat

Kristen Wood offers plant-based recipes for festive mains, sides, drinks, and desserts that reduce environmental impact by 30%, promoting sustainable holiday traditions.

  • This holiday season, hosts can follow Kristen Wood, award-winning photographer, food writer, recipe developer and certified functional nutrition expert, who outlines festive mains, sides, drinks and desserts for a meatless Christmas feast.
  • Because animal-source foods have large emissions, hosts and guests considering environmental impacts prefer vegetarian mains since eating less meat can reduce your environmental impact by 30%, while plant-based foods provide fiber and essential vitamins.
  • On the side, swap traditional stuffing for vegetable stock versions, serve mushroom or miso gravy, roasted root vegetables, wild rice salad, mulled wine, spiced apple cider, creamy vegan eggnog, and edible gifts like German rum balls.
  • Hosts will find a meat-free Christmas offers flavor and creativity, and they can create shareable experiences with edible gifts, sparkling holiday punch, and international desserts.
  • While tradition suggests skipping the traditional meat-centered Christmas turkey may feel bold, a well-planned vegetarian feast prioritizes color, texture and aroma, highlighting global dessert influences and seasonal traditions.
