Hot apple cider, steaming wassail, eggnog, pfefferneusen and gingerbread, panettone and candy canes! There's no doubt that the holidays are filled with seasonal foods that tempt our tastebuds as well as fill our minds with nostalgic memories of holidays past. Here's a few classic Christmas recipes for those on an egg-free or dairy-free diet. Happy holidays!
  • Vegan Holiday Fruitcake Recipe I know fruit cake always gets a bad reputation - but I LOVE the stuff and look forward to eating it every Christmas!
  • Vegan Eggnog A rich and flavorful dairy-free and egg-free recipe for vegan egg nog (or eggnog) suitable for the kids.
  • Roasted Chestnut Soup Nothing says Christmas like warm roasted chesnuts. Turn them into a soothing soup using this five-star reviewed recipe.
  • Vegan Gingerbread Cookies A vegan gingerbread cookie recipe the kids will love to decorate. Though I have to confess that I do love to eat gingerbread cookies all year round!
  • Spiced Cranberry Oatmeal Cookies This vegan recipe for spiced oatmeal cranberry cookies is thick and chewy, just the way oatmeal cookies should be.
  • Vegan Egg Nog Pancakes Made with dairy-free egg nog - either homemade or store bought.
  • Vegan Gingerbread Waffles A vegan Christmas breakfast with molasses and plenty of holiday spices.
  • Another Vegan Eggnog Recipe A vegan eggnog recipe using tofu to thicken it up - but this one's not for the kids, as it contains a healthy amount of alcohol.
  • Crockpot Christmas Wassail (Wassel) About.com's Guide to Busy Cooks says, "This spicy drink is made easily in your slow cooker, and you won't believe the wonderful aromas that will waft through your house while this recipe is cooking."
