Happy Holidays from The ChickPeeps! This week Evy, Momo, Robbie and Tylor gather to boost team morale before embarking on the holiday season, a time when many vegans feel alienated and disenchanted by the abundance of non-vegan gifts and food items at family gatherings. We discuss what we’ll be up to this holiday season, our favourite go-to vegan friendly gifts and what to do when you encounter animals being used in festive celebrations. Also on this episode…

• Guess which ChickPeep has convinced their entire family to do a vegan Christmas?!
• Tylor explains why the use of real animals such as donkeys, in festive celebrations or nativity scenes is unethical.
• How to bring up the issue with using real animals for entertainment at holiday events without being a killjoy. 
• Momo shares some tips for how to have a sustainable Christmas.
• We discuss whether or not Christmas trees are wasteful and how much space can we allow for sentimental traditions that create excess waste?
• We share some thoughts on an email from listener, Luiza, who’s partner’s family are very ‘meat-proud’ and whom she is worried may not be so accepting of her ethical lifestyle.
• Volunteer options for LA based activists, as requested by ChickPeep, Morgan: 
• LAAnimalSave.org
• Anonymous for the Voiceless
• The Gentle Barn
• Farm Sanctuary
• Stray Cat Alliance
