The Best Vegan Holiday Cookie Roundup (Including Christmas Favorites!)

There’s a debate online if this is called chocolate cake or just yellow cake with chocolate frosting.✨ This is my popular better boxed vegan cake so comment RECIPE if you want to try it. 👉🏼What do you call this combo?

Start spreading the news! 2025 seems to have been the year of pistachio and although so many Dubai chocolates and spreads contain dairy, Trader Joe’s has just dropped a new pistachio spread without it for $6.49!✨ A Reddit user posted these images the other day and although I don’t see it on their website in the “what’s new” section just yet, I’m hoping it will hit store shelves everywhere soon. You can always call or ask at your local store for the most updated info on availability. Are you excited to try?

🚨BREAKING CHEWS! Did the iconic @tastykake brand just remove dairy from their Tastykrisps snacks? I had someone send me pix of the current ingredients list on the box and it seems so! They did contain nonfat milk when first launched a few years ago but there now seems to have been a quiet update to be dairy free. There’s still a cross contamination warning but those are not ingredients. These were spotted at @giant supermarket (not sure what state) and the smaller packs have been spotted at @wawa convenience stores. Want the whole story? Comment LINK for my news post where I take a deeper dive. 🥜🍫

My viral better boxed vegan cake recipe + tasty holiday upgrades. 🎄🍰 Peppermint mocha, sugar cookie (pictured), gingerbread, orange cranberry, hot cocoa and more, all using my same foolproof base. 💬 Comment “RECIPE” to get every holiday flavor!✨

Some @aldiusa finds! 🛒 Haven’t seen the tinned vegan friendly gummies before and the almond nog is back (wasn’t sure it was coming back as I spotted it in October last year and this is quite late but could be just my stores hadn’t gotten it until now), plus other things. Use @instacart or the Aldi app to hopefully find them near you. 👍🏼

[AD] Dr. Praeger’s NEW Grillhouse Vegan Burgers are the star of my mini tater tot sliders! ✨🍔✨ Juicy, seasoned with steak-style spices, and made with real veggies and other great ingredients, they bring that grillhouse restaurant experience home. I turned them into an easy, crowd-pleasing vegan appetizer for holiday parties, game day, or whenever the mood strikes. 👉🏼 Comment “GRILLHOUSE” for a BOGO offer!

Still thinking about the midcentury gingerbread house I made last year. I drew the patterns by hand and based it off a few houses in my neighborhood in Sarasota, FL. I wish my house had this classic look but it’s still midcentury (‘57) and pretty cool. If you want my gingerbread recipe and to see how I did it, comment LINK! Otherwise, just enjoy the vibes. ✨🎄

Here are some cool finds from a great store called @amatterofhealth in Nanuet, NY (where I grew up). I know a lot of these things are harder to find but often a smaller local store might carry them. Was excited to see a lot of these and wished I could have taken some home to Florida, what about you?

Christmas vibes on a plate! 🎄🍰 My no-bake vegan raspberry & lime white chocolate cheesecake is ruby red with flecks of green, and everything delicious in between. It’s what I’m making for Christmas Eve! Comment ‘RECIPE’ below and see why it has all five star reviews! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
