Over the last year, Tesco has significantly expanded its plant-based offerings in order to meet the demand from UK consumers, so this holiday season it is fittingly hosting a 'Vegmas' celebration.
Tesco Vegmas is branded as a "plant-based Christmas feast" that shares dishes like scallops made from mushrooms and a vegan-friendly version of pigs in blankets over five courses. At the event, Tesco hopes to inspire people who are catering for vegan and vegetarian guests, as well as those who want to get more greens on their holiday table—this includes vegans, vegetarians and meat-eaters alike.
Naturally, Tesco will also be offering up some of the items from its free-from Christmas range, such as the Vegan Stuffed Butternut Squash.
