As the New Year rolls in, resolutions are everywhere. Some people aim to hit the gym, others vow to pick up a new hobby, and many are looking for ways to make a positive impact on the planet.
Enter Veganuary, the global campaign that’s encouraging people to try vegan for January (and hopefully beyond!). With 2025 shaping up to be the most exciting Veganuary yet, there’s no better time to give it a go.
Celebrities Dish Out Deliciousness
Hollywood actor Woody Harrelson and his wife Laura have shared their recipe for a cozy Creamy Potato Leek Soup. It’s the kind of bowl that makes you feel like you’re wrapped in a warm hug on a cold day.
Meanwhile, Bethany Antonia, the House of the Dragon star, is spicing things up with her Sa-Ti-Deh Jamaican Black Bean & Jackfruit Stew. This dish is the perfect way to chase away winter blues and transport your taste buds to a tropical paradise.
By signing up for Veganuary, you’ll receive the Celebrity eCookbook, featuring incredible plant-based dishes from ambassadors Joaquin Phoenix, Paul McCartney, Bryan Adams, and many more (we’ve already tried and loved the fettuccine alfredo and not meatballs).
Expert Advice and Vegan Swaps
If you’re worried about how to replace your favourite foods, Veganuary has you covered. Top culinary minds and influencers like TV chefs Ainsley Harriott and Kwoklyn Wan and Michelin-starred Alexis Gauthier offer insider tips on how to veganize almost any recipe.
Want creamy pasta without the dairy? They’ve got you. Craving a meaty texture but sticking to plants? These experts will show you the magic of jackfruit, mushrooms, and seitan. And if you’re a dessert lover, Great British Bake Off’s Freya Cox will help you whip up vegan treats that are just as indulgent as the originals.
Beyond the Kitchen
Veganuary is more than just food (though let’s be honest, the food is amazing). The campaign is bringing a star-studded lineup to your ears with new podcast episodes. Climate activist Maggie Baird and actor Richa Moorjani are sharing their insights on sustainability, animal welfare, and how small changes can make a big difference.
And if you’re feeling inspired to experiment beyond dinner, Veganuary’s website is a treasure trove of plant-based resources. From meal plans and nutrition tips to over a thousand recipes (hello, Pamela Anderson’s Green Garden Mason Jar Salad), everything you need to succeed is just a click away.
Why Veganuary?
Since its humble beginnings on a kitchen table in Yorkshire in 2014, Veganuary has grown into a global phenomenon. Millions of participants have joined the movement, helping to make plant-based living more accessible and visible. The campaign has partnered with businesses to boost vegan options in shops and restaurants, making it easier than ever to find delicious, cruelty-free meals.
But Veganuary isn’t just about eating well—it’s about doing good. By choosing vegan for a month, you’re reducing your carbon footprint, saving water, and sparing the lives of animals. It’s a small step with a big impact, and Veganuary’s supportive community makes the journey fun and rewarding.
Give Veganuary a Go
If you’ve been curious about going vegan—or even if you just want to shake up your meal routine—Veganuary is the perfect opportunity. Signing up is free, and you’ll get access to the Official Veganuary Starter Kit and Celebrity eCookbook.
Head over to Veganuary’s website to sign up, download the cookbook, and take the pledge to try vegan this January. Whether you’re in it for the recipes, the environmental benefits, or just the bragging rights of saying you cooked like Woody Harrelson, Veganuary 2025 is your ticket to a delicious and impactful start to the year.
