Most of us, as vegans, have been there. Thanksgiving comes around and we’re attending a friend or family gathering, where very few (if any) of those attending are also vegan. Cue panic ensuing! Actually, let’s hold off on pressing the panic button, because today we’re going to let you in on 5 of our best tips for enjoying a fully vegan Thanksgiving – even when those you’re enjoying it with are eating animal-derived foods.

  1. BYOVM (Bring Your Own Vegan Meal!)
    Pretty certain there won’t be any vegan dishes at the table? There’s no harm in packing your own fully vegan meal to ensure that you get to enjoy Thanksgiving dinner too! Cook your own meal or order a 100% vegan (and incredibly delicious) Thanksgiving meal from Whole Foods, crafted up by renowned chef Chloe Coscarelli.

  1. Chef up some side dishes to share!

  1. Have you talked with your fam? Maybe they’re interested in trying out a vegan Thanksgiving this year!
    You never know! Once you explain to your family how impactful the vegan diet is for the environment and your overall well-being, they may want in.

  1. Bring plantbased meat for your main course.
    If you know there will be a few vegan sides at the table, then all you’ll really need is a plantbased meat for your main course! Lucky for you, there are tons of vegan turkey alternatives on the market. Check out this list of the best ones and take your pick.

  1. Snack up before heading to the party!
    If you’re unsure of whether or not there will be vegan options for you, be sure to eat something before heading out!
