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.

Aldi’s vegan range is one of the many plant-based options launched by other supermarkets and food retailers for the upcoming festive season.

Tesco shoppers will get to choose from vegan pigs in blankets, Butternut Squash, Mushroom, and Chestnut Wreath, Carrot & Thyme Tarte Tatin and a Sweet Potato & Red Cabbage Christmas Log along with delicious desserts.
