Finally, if you live in a city where you’re lucky enough to have a selection of vegetarian restaurants or vegan cafes, check with them to see if they have any holiday vegan dishes. Even if you buy your vegan dessert from them, you’re still helping to support local plant-based businesses.
We hope this has given you some ideas on where you can order your vegetarian Thanksgiving to-go. Outside of Thanksgiving, I’m sure some will be offering Christmas dinners as well, so be sure to check them out and support local stores and restaurants where you can!
