You may think of the Holidays as a vegan as that awful time where your not-so-close relatives question your life choices and you are forced to endure a miserable evening on cold side salads as the only vegan options. Hopefully, this post will cheer you up a bit and have you enjoy these dreadful days more than you used to.
Events in Belgium:
Dec 9 - Le Noël des Animaux au Rêve d'Aby
Get your gifts, decoration and animal hugs at this beautiful animal sanctuary in Namur. Why not adopt a saved animal for your vegan cousin or grumpy uncle?
Dec 9 - Vegan Christmas Market Antwerp
Antwerp's FIRST vegan Christmas in... an old meatpacker warehouse! Now, Meatpack is an artistic location and perfect to get inspired about vegan lifestyle.
Dec 12 & 15 - Veganizer vos fêtes - workshop at Le Flexitarien
We are collaborating with Le Flexitarien to bring you a vegan workshop with two different menus for Christmas eve, to learn and to enjoy! A package with ingredients to prepare the menus at home will be available for order as well as varies catering options.
December - Rouge Markt.
As far as we know there's only one vegan stand on the traditional Christmas Market (La Papille Verte!), so we highly recommend you to check out this alternative market next to the newly opened Pompidou-Knal.
Order-in Vegan menu:
In case (like us) you don't feel like slaving away in the kitchen or need to bring something for your family gathering that shows of veganism in the best way.
Tofurkey - Voodoo Vegan
This marvellously seasoned 'tofurkey' is stuffed with a ground up of vegan sausage, chestnuts and levain Bread + Christmas spices and a touch of Cognac! Order yours before December 10th: it makes the perfect centrepiece of your Christmas dinner.
Vegan bûche - La Grainerie
These good-looking fellas are prepared by the kind and amazingly good chefs at La Grainerie. Keep an eye on their page for when orders go online. Warning: these might be too good to share with your family.
