Thanksgiving is almost here, which means it’s time to prepare our homes for fall festivities and our stomachs for multiple servings of delicious vegan food. If you’re celebrating this year’s ThanksVegan virtually or at a socially distanced dinner table, there are plenty of ways to have your vegan pumpkin pie and eat it, too. Here are three actions to take this ThanksVegan to enjoy the holiday while social distancing!
1. Download and use the PETA Zoom background for all your virtual gatherings.
Since many friends and families are planning socially distanced gatherings over Zoom this year, we’re offering a new free ThanksVegan Zoom background.
If you want to remind people to be kind to animals this holiday, simply download the image, click the caret next to the video icon on Zoom, and select “Choose a Virtual Background.” Then, just upload the image and you’ll have a wonderful, animal-friendly conversation starter for your virtual gathering.
2. Shop at stores participating in ThanksVegan.
When you’re shopping for your vegan feast, keep in mind the stores that offer tasty vegan food. Look for vegan roasts and plenty of side dishes at stores that are participating in ThanksVegan, including Sprouts, Gelson’s Markets, King Kullen, Ingles Markets, Associated Food Stores, Met Foodmarkets, Metropolitan City Market, and Pioneer Supermarkets in the U.S. and Sobeys, Safeway, Save-On-Foods, Urban Fare, and Loblaw Companies—including Loblaws, Zehrs Markets, and Atlantic Superstore—in Canada.
3. Use the hashtag #ThanksVegan on all your holiday posts.
Snap a picture of your vegan spread and share it online with the hashtag #ThanksVegan so that everyone can see how you celebrate the holidays the vegan way!
