1. Plan a Delicious Vegan Holiday Menu

• Appetizers: Start with crowd-pleasers like stuffed mushrooms, vegan cheese platters, and roasted chickpeas.

• Incorporate natural elements like pine cones, cranberries, and eucalyptus for a seasonal touch.
• Our bamboo platters and serving utensils are a great place to start!

3. Offer a Variety of Drinks

• Serve a selection of vegan wines, craft beers, and non-alcoholic options like sparkling water with fruit.
• Consider making a signature holiday cocktail with seasonal flavors like cranberry or cinnamon.

4. Engage Guests with Fun Activities

5. Share the Vegan Message
