One of the best parts of Christmas is sharing food, and whether you’re trying a new vegan recipe or veganising your favourite dishes this year, it’s never been easier to eat with compassion.
Try out delicious vegan recipes using Plan B Classic Slices, Ultx Soya Curd Kit, or Chetran’s Soya Taak Jeera. Karachi’s Vegan Fruit Biscuits are ideal for snacking – and all are winners of PETA India’s 2023 Vegan Food Awards.
The Baklava Box Vegan Pista Kunafa is made fresh to order and a great way to explore traditional Middle Eastern treats. Vegan meat is readily available in stores and online, including from cricketer MS Dhoni–backed Shaka Harry, which was honoured with PETA India’s Best Vegan Meat Award 2023. And why not serve up Moonglet’s Eggless Masala Omelette as a special feast for guests?
Urban Platter (another PETA India award winner), VeganMall, Amazon India, Vegan First, Vegan Dukan (which PETA India recognised with its award for Best Vegan Online Store in 2021), and Vvegano (which won our 2022 Best Vegan Online Marketplace award) have large selections of vegan milk, meat, cheese, desserts, and other vegan foods that can be delivered straight to your doorstep.
With investors including actor John Abraham, NOTO offers a delectable range of desserts, and its Mango & Raspberry frozen dessert nabbed our 2023 Best Vegan Ice Cream Award. You can top off your delicious vegan meals with Grabenord “Not a Dairy Butter” or Simplifry VE-GEE.

Take your festivities up a notch by dressing to impress in animal-friendly clothes, instead of cruelly obtained wool, leather, silk, or fur.
If you’re into athleisure, be sure to check out PETA India 2023 Vegan Fashion Awards winner Gorilla Lifestyle’s spunky, chunky, and leather-free sneakers. If you’re a saree lover, try handloom silk-free sarees by Gaurav Anand’s Swachhata Pukare Foundation, made from fibre extracted from water hyacinths. Complete your look with innovative vegan bags by Miraggio as well as stunning accessories by Anita Dongre made from the plant-based leather MIRUM®. Banofi creates beautiful, versatile vegan leather from banana crop waste, for which it won PETA India’s Best Vegan Leather award for 2023 as well as the Hult Prize. Looking for some vegan cosmetics for that final magic touch? Just look for the Beauty Without Bunnies logo while shopping. Oh, and for kids, check out cricketer Hardik Pandya–backed Aretto’s adjustable and expandable leather-free designs which accommodate the growth of the child wearing them.

Shopping for gifts is so much more enjoyable for everyone when you support fashion and accessory brands using the “PETA-Approved Vegan” logo that are good for animals, the environment, as well as human health. So Good’s Plant Based Oat Beverage and Daarzel The OG Vegan & Gluten Free Coconut Milk Chocolate make for great stocking fillers, or treat your loved ones to some pampering this year with vegan beauty and skin-care gifts from Daughter Earth or Colorbar Cosmetics. Or how about enjoying a decadent vegan meal with friends and family at Green Gujarat in Mumbai? It’s one of our favourite ways to spread festive cheer!
Make this Christmas the merriest one yet and help spread peace on Earth by choosing vegan. This way, you’ll end 2023 on a high note for animals, the environment, and your own health!
