Asda announces new vegan range for Christmas

From mains that have the festive wow! factor, to luxurious desserts to delectable and morish party nibbles, Asda’s new range of vegan Christmas treats means there will now be something for everyone this festive season.

Asda’s 97-product-strong range of vegan Christmas treats launches just in time for World Vegan Month this November.

Shoppers can enjoy Christmas classics such as pigs-in-blankets and a succulent turkey crown, all with a clever vegan twist.

Asda’s new vegan offering comes as part of the store’s largest Christmas range to date, with in excess of 100 vegan and free-from products and 326 new items across the store. 

A spokesman for Asda said: "No one should have to compromise at Christmas. And with Asda’s new vegan Christmas range, no one needs to.

"Coinciding with World Vegan Month and forming part of Asda’s largest Christmas offering to date, the new vegan range boasts 97 delectable items, which are ideally suitable for whatever occasion the festive season has to offer."

Are you going to host Christmas drinks and nibbles for a friend or family member who eats plant-based meals? 

Why not serve up Asda’s Breaded Vegan Brie with Sweet Chilli Dip (£3.50)? These creamy vegan cheese bites are coated in a golden paprika and herb crumb and come complete with a sweet and spicy chilli dip for dipping. So making them the perfect indulgent vegan starter to wow non-meat-eaters and carnivores alike.

For those hosting the big day itself and catering for meat-free loved ones, Asda’s Plant-Based Vegan Turkey Crown with Umami Stock (£5) will be the veritable star of the show. 

The succulent soya-based turkey crown is topped with a flavoured crumb for that crispy-skin texture and finished with an insanely savoury umami butter to stand in for those mouth-watering savoury turkey-basting juices.

Not forgetting vegan chocolate lovers, the Extra Special Vegan Chocolate Baubles (£4.50) are 100% perfect for serving up as a unique Christmas dessert. Just use a spoon to break open the Belgian dark chocolate baubles to reveal a delicious vegan chocolate mousse and cookie crumb, oozing with sweet caramel sauce.

As well as catering for vegans, Asda is also making sure that guests who need "free from" Christmas products are well catered for, Asda has an extensive range of free-from-Christmas products available this year so shoppers can enjoy festive favourites no matter what their special dietary requirements might be.

Highlights from the Asda free from range includes top Christmas classics like Asda’s Free From Mince Pies (£2) and Extra Special Free From 6-Month Matured Luxury Christmas Pudding (£2), plus treats like the Extra Special Free From Blood Orange Enrobed Cookies (£2.20).

The new range is a part of Asda’s largest Christmas range to date, with over 100 vegan and free-from products.

Many of Asda’s new vegan Christmas range will be available to buy online and in-store from 24th November, with further items released over the course of the month.
