Have you ever opened Pinterest in December, searching for holiday recipes… only to close it five minutes later because every “healthy” dish includes almond flour, every “vegan” recipe calls for soy, and every “low-carb” option uses eggs?
If you’ve been there welcome. At GrubAllergy, we live where real families live: in the middle of busy kitchens, long grocery lists, and label reading that never ends.

The holiday season should feel warm and joyful, not like a puzzle where every ingredient is a potential hazard. That’s why we created this guide, a December menu that is vegan, low-carb, allergen-safe, and genuinely festive. No guesswork. No complicated substitutions. Just safe, joyful holiday eating.

 

Why Combine Vegan + Low-Carb + Allergen-Free?

Because December food tends to be:
• heavy with dairy,
• packed with sugar,
• loaded with eggs and wheat,
• often full of nuts and soy.

For allergy families, that’s a lot of navigating.

But when we combine vegan (no dairy, no eggs) + low-carb (less sugar, lighter meals) + allergen-free, something amazing happens:

— You get festive dishes that don’t cause holiday crashes
— Kids can enjoy treats without worry
— Parents get a break from complicated substitutions
— Every guest vegan, allergy-sensitive, or fully unrestricted can share the same table

Just remember our golden rule at GrubAllergy:
Vegan doesn’t automatically equal allergy-safe.
Vegan recipes often still use soy, almonds, cashews, and wheat.
That’s where allergen-free focus makes all the difference.

Making Holiday Cooking Simple & Safe

Here’s how we keep December stress-free at GrubAllergy:

Choose simple whole ingredients

Fresh veggies, clean spices, coconut milk, gluten-free flours.

Replace holiday staples smartly

  • Dairy → Coconut or oat milk

  • Eggs → Applesauce or safe egg replacers

  • Wheat → Coconut or oat flour

  • Sugar → Coconut sugar or low-glycemic alternatives (if tolerated)

Read labels with extra care

Holiday ingredients like sprinkles, chocolates, ready mixes, and frostings often hide allergens.

Stick to recipes created for allergy families

That’s what we do at GrubAllergy—recipes built for safety, not patched together with complicated hacks.
