Chocolate lovers, it’s that time of year again! December is nearly here which means we are going to unwrap a list of the vegan advent calendars you can enjoy this festive season.
In this final week of World Vegan Month, we are looking ahead to the festive season and celebrating the range of advent calendars we have certified with the Vegan Trademark. Pick one (or a couple) up in time for the start of December, because the joy of an advent calendar is for everyone, and dodging dairy isn’t a reason to miss out! As with all our recommendations, the products featured are registered with the Vegan Trademark – our specialist team have done the hard work checking that there are no animal ingredients in these products, so you can enjoy these chocolatey treats in peace!
