Last but not least, one of the best ways you can help your vegan friends and family navigate holiday meals is by labeling the dishes that they can eat. It might sound like a small gesture, but it shows them that you've taken their dietary considerations into account. There also won't be any awkward conversations where they have to say "I can't eat that" or them having to constantly wonder and ask which dishes are okay for them to consume. It takes the stress away on both sides, so everyone can dig in happily and heartily. And isn't that what the holidays are all about?
