Problem
What can vegans do for Christmas? When everybody else is eating turkey, pork or other meats, or fish!
Answers
Company Gifts
Some companies give employees as Christmas gifts a vegetarian alternative. For example, a vegetarian Christmas pudding.
Shopping
Mock Turkey
I haven't yet seen a mock turkey which looks like a turkey. However, you can buy several brands of mock meat roll with stuffing in US supermarkets. Americans tend to eat turkey for thanksgiving, and don't want it again at Christmas, so the turkey substitutes will be more obviously advertised around Thanksgiving.
I saw vegetarian Christmas puddings in a kosher shop (any kind of Christmas pudding was a surprise). Later I saw vegetarian puddings in a supermarket. What do they not contain/ Surely mince pies no longer contain meat, and Christmas puddings do not contain meat? The answer is that some Christmas puddings could contain lard (animal fat) or suet (animal fat).
DIY
If you are making your own Christmas pudding, and want the solid, sticky, thick texture, supermarkets sell Vegetarian 'suet'.
Vegan recipes are provided by Jamie Oliver, the BBC and others.
Restaurants
Vegetarian restaurants will offer festive meals which are vegetarian.
India
Southen India is largely vegetarian and you may be able to stay in a vegetarian hotel or eat in a vegetarian restaurant.
Several countries celebrate Advent, the period before Christmas, by going meatless.
Bulgaria
Bulgarians have a vegetarian diet before Christmas.
Egypt
Egypt is another country which goes vegan.
