Christmas food shopping can be tricky at the best of times. What with gluten-free in-laws and your own pledge to go plantbased, shopping for the festive season can seem impossible. But fear not: with nut roasts, a range of free-from party food, plus vegan turkey, gammon and beef from VBites, Holland & Barrett can ease some of your seasonal stress. Plus, there are veggie and vegan offerings from artisan chocolatiers Montezuma’s, gluten-free Christmas puds and non-alcoholic ginger wine. Chocolate coins, truffles and selection boxes are available (plus advent calendars) and, no, we didn’t forget mince pies. Look out for vegan, glutenfree versions with a rich fruit filling wrapped up in delicious shortcrust pastry. You won’t want to share them with Santa.
