Santa’s gone vegan

This year, I’m embracing the spirit of giving in a new way—I’ve gone vegan! After centuries of milk and cookies, I’ve decided it’s time to swap dairy for creamy oat or almond milk and enjoy plant-based cookies. My decision is about more than snacks. I’m also retiring my reindeer and upgrading to an eco-friendly electric sled to reduce my carbon footprint and give my hardworking friends the peaceful life they deserve.

Going vegan improves my health, helps fight climate change, and saves thousands of animals each year. It’s a gift to myself, the planet, and all living beings. If I can make this change, anyone can!

This Christmas, I’ll be spreading compassion along with cheer—and I hope you’ll join me in creating a kinder world. It’s easier than ever to go vegan.

Warm wishes for a joyful and compassionate season!

Yours truly, Ol' St. Nick
