It’s the most wonderful time of the year! A time to see loved ones and more importantly eat everything. I’m SO excited about the massive range of Christmas products that we’re seeing this year from most supermarkets in the UK! It’s such a huge improvement from what we’ve had in the past and is just another reflection of how much veganism is growing and the positive changes that are being made!
Anyway, enough of my rambling – here is a guide to the Christmas products in all major UK supermarkets in 2019!
(Disclaimer: I haven’t included Christmas kiosk products and to-go foods as this would just be too long! Comment below if that’s something you’d like to see! A few things are yet to be announced as well, so bear with me if things aren’t included, I’ll update as I can!)
