A Vegan Christmas Has Never Been Easier: Asda Unveils Its 2026 Festive Range

UK supermarket Asda has revealed its vegan Christmas lineup for 2026, and its centerpiece is a jeweled wreath of roasted butternut squash, sweet potato, chestnuts and cranberries that costs just £5.24.

Asda unveiled more than 500 Christmas products in September. Vegan Food & Living's roundup of the plant-based picks counts two centerpieces, puddings, mince pies, party food and sweet treats. The centerpieces have been available through Asda's Christmas Food to Order service since October 13, and the rest of the range is in stores and online now.

The Exceptional by ASDA Festive Roasted Butternut, Cranberry & Chestnut Jewelled Wreath (450g, about 16oz), which Vegan Food & Living lists as new for 2026, is for anyone who wants Christmas dinner without imitation meat. Asda's own 2026 Christmas lookbook describes "a vibrant festive wreath with roasted butternut squash, sweet potato, chestnuts and cranberries blended with festive fruits and seeds," finished with a jeweled garnish and a winter berry glaze. (It could double as the table decoration.)

Prefer something more traditional? The OMV! No Turkey Crown with Caramelised Onion & Herb Stuffing is back. Made from soy protein with a golden, glazed "skin," it serves four to five people for £5.24 (460g).

Dessert is covered too. The Bakery at ASDA Classic Christmas Pudding comes in 400g (£3.20) and 800g (£5.46) sizes, and the Free From range adds a gluten-free Christmas pudding (£4.00) and mince pies (£2.47), both made without eggs or dairy.

Hosting a party? Vegetable spring rolls, vegetable gyozas with a soy and ginger dip, mini hoisin bao buns, Thai red curry puffs, onion bhajis and sweetcorn fritters start at £2 a box, alongside Festive Tortilla Chip Christmas Trees (£1.25) and an OMV! Salted Caramel Fudge & Honeycomb Choc Slab (£2.50).

On November 2 Asda added a new All The Trimmings Vegan Wrap to its Christmas meal deal, filled with maple roasted vegetables, vegan stuffing, sage and onion vegan mayo, crispy onions and cranberry chutney. As Asda's announcement puts it, "So that no one is left behind this Christmas, Asda is also launching a vegan offering this year."

Linsey Taylor, Asda's Director of Own Brand, said of this year's range:

This Christmas, we're celebrating the classics, elevated. We know that when it comes to the festive season, customers want the dishes and flavours they truly look forward to, but they also want to make the occasion feel special. That's exactly what we've focused on with this year's range, taking the Christmas classics customers know and love and elevating them through exceptional ingredients, expert craftsmanship and attention to detail.

Every plant-based plate on the table counts. Oxford University researchers writing in PNAS found that shifting toward more plant-based diets could reduce global mortality by 6 to 10% and cut food-related greenhouse gas emissions by up to 70% by 2050.

The range is UK-only, but American readers have a whole crop of new vegan roasts and desserts for Thanksgiving. This week Oreo unveiled four new vegan varieties and Daring launched plant steak bites at Publix. In Britain, Lidl GB smashed its plant-based sales target with a 694% rise.

Pass the wreath. The festive season just got a whole lot kinder.
