Reading: simple christmas vegetarian main dish recipes
A few weeks ago, we published a list of top Thanksgiving vegetarian main dish recipes – and the response was just wonderful!
In that post, I mentioned how I worry for vegetarian friends and relatives during the holidays, when they so often seem to be forgotten and left to pick through a few side dishes in order to piece together a meal.
We got such lovely feedback – directly in the comments on the post itself, on social media, and even personally!
We heard from vegetarians who were thrilled to have their own, special and festive vegetarian meal options … and from hostesses who were delighted to find vegetarian main dish recipes they could serve alongside their turkey, so all their guests would feel appreciated and included in the Thanksgiving meal.
Add to all that the fact that our collection of 13 best ” everyday” vegetarian meals is one of our most popular posts ever … and … well, I thought maybe you guys would also enjoy a list of holiday-themed Christmas Vegetarian Main Dish Recipes!
Festive (Star-Studded!) Vegetarian Christmas Meals
No doubt – many of the recipes I featured in the Thanksgiving list would be great at Christmas, too.
But, I wanted to feature a few new ideas that felt more perfect for winter-y holidays. Some of these are all decked out in pretty Christmas reds and greens, and some feature quintessential holiday ingredients like chestnuts. And … some even feature fun star shapes (check out the first one on our list – so cute!).
Plenty of Vegan Christmas Recipes, Too!
Incidentally, as I was sifting through my final choices for the very best-of-the-best recipes to include here, I noticed that almost all of these vegetarian main dishes also happen to be vegan main dishes! Loads of great ideas for your vegan Christmas guests, too!

If it’s not specifically indicated in each recipe name, I’ve noted for you which are vegetarian and which are vegan recipes.
Watch Out … Meat-Eaters Will Be Jealous!
Just like I warned you with our Thanksgiving list, once all your guests take a peek at your gorgeous vegetarian/vegan main dish offerings … well, your holiday ham or Christmas goose seriously might feel a bit forgotten this year!
