The holiday season means spending quality time with our loved ones—including the animals who share our homes. But let’s not forget the billions of animals used for food, who will never get to raise their young or engage in anything else that’s natural and important to them. Our joyful holiday feasts shouldn’t contribute to their suffering. In fact, one of the best parts of the holidays is the delicious vegan food! Here are some of our favorite recipes:
