Trader Joe’s Just Confirmed the Fate of Its Beloved Vegan Holiday Roast

Trader Joe’s has confirmed that their popular Turkey-Less Stuffed Roast will not be returning for the 2026 holiday season, disappointing fans who had made it a cherished part of their traditions. The breaded seitan roast with gravy had previously been discontinued in 2023 due to poor sales but was brought back in 2024 following outcry from customers. However, the comeback appears to have been short-lived, as there are no plans to release the vegan holiday roast again this year.

While the absence of the Turkey-Less Stuffed Roast is disheartening, Trader Joe’s has introduced several new vegan products to their lineup. These include organic Greek-style dairy-free yogurt and granola butter, in addition to seasonal favorites like Halloween Joe-Joe’s Cookies and Pumpkin Overnight Oats. Although there won’t be a meatless roast for Thanksgiving, eager shoppers can look forward to more vegan holiday products from the chain.
