Best vegan advent calendars: Dairy free treats to countdown to Christmas

From hearty turkey to decadent chocolates, the festive season wasn't exactly designed with vegans in mind.

But thankfully, the rise in veganism in the UK has meant supermarkets are stocking endless possibilities of free-from foods in the run-up to Christmas.

There are now plenty of dairy-free advent calendars to choose from, which means you don't have to miss out on all the chocolatel-y excitement.

Here are our favourite totally vegan advent calendars:
