Aldi UK has unveiled its vegan Christmas range, which includes vegan duck and a festive wellington among other plant-based starters and mains.

This Christmas, the budget supermarket chain is launching 136 brand new lines and changing 200 existing ones in a bid to entice vegan shoppers.

The chain’s festive range will feature a Mexican-style party pack including mini tacos filled with vegetable pibil, BBQ jackfruit tortilla rolls and chipotle tofu flauta.

A dim sum selection including mushroom bao buns, vegan duck rolls, and pumpkin dumplings, along with a tempura vegetable pack.

The brand’s frozen pastry-based mains are made with crispy flash-fried dairy-free pastry. The vegan parcels will be available in Firecracker Vegetable and BBQ Jackfruit flavours.

Aldi will also offer a cauliflower wellington with garlic, turmeric and ginger for an Indian flavor and a tearable Mushroom Roulade wrapped in flaky pastry.
