Vegan Thanksgiving 2026: where to start

Thanksgiving 2026 is November 26. Whether you are hosting, bringing a dish or skipping the kitchen, the easiest place to start is a 100% vegan bakery or restaurant, where nothing on the menu needs checking. Here is what the Vegaholic directory can point you to.

551

fully vegan kitchens

213

cities with at least one kitchen

Counted from the directory today. Fully vegan means the listing is marked 100% vegan; we have not inspected kitchens. The directory does not record holiday menus, preorders or Thanksgiving hours, so call or check a place’s own website before you count on it for the day.

Order a dessert from a vegan bakery

A fully vegan bakery uses no dairy or eggs, so a pie or cake from one is a dessert everyone can share, vegan or not. Small bakeries often take holiday orders early, so ask soon. Read our guide to vegan Thanksgiving desserts, which walks through bakeries region by region, or see who serves vegan cake.

Dishes for the table

Each link opens a dish page with the restaurants whose menus we have read and who serve it vegan or vegan on request. The count is restaurants, not dishes.

Find a vegan kitchen near you

Every 100% vegan restaurant is a call away from an answer about holiday hours or takeout. Use the map to see what is near you, or browse by state. If a vegan place near you is missing, add it.

Eating out with family

Not every town has a vegan kitchen. Most of the directory is restaurants marked Vegan Options, with plant-based dishes on the menu; see how to find vegan restaurants anywhere. Planning ahead for the new year? There is a Veganuary guide, and the World Vegan Day page has the data behind the directory.
