This week Evy, Momo, Robbie and Tylor gather to boost team morale before embarking on the holiday season, a time when many vegans feel alienated and disenchanted by the abundance of non-vegan gifts and food items at family gatherings. We discuss what we’ll be up to this holiday season, our favourite go-to vegan friendly gifts and what to do when you encounter animals being used in festive celebrations. Also on this episode… Guess which ChickPeep has convinced their entire family to do a vegan Christmas?! Tylor explains why the use of real animals such as donkeys, in festive celebrations or nativity scenes is unethical. How to bring up the issue with using real animals for entertainment at holiday events without being a killjoy.  Momo shares some tips for how to have a sustainable Christmas. We discuss whether or not Christmas trees are wasteful and how much space can we allow for sentimental traditions that create excess waste? We share some thoughts on an email from listener, Luiza, who’s partner’s family are very ‘meat-proud’ and whom she is worried may not be so accepting of her ethical lifestyle.
