25 Dairy-Free Gingerbread Treats to Snap Up This Holiday Season

Updated for 2020! Sarah and I are having way too much fun reveling in holiday flavors this year. First we gathered all of the Dairy-Free Pumpkin Spice Goodies (many are still available!). Then we uncovered thirty Dairy-Free Chocolate Peppermint Treats. And today, we’ve set our sites on Gingerbread! This round-up of dairy-free gingerbread items includes both classic and unique treats that you can buy in stores or online.

25 Dairy-Free Gingerbread Treats to Snap Up This Season

Honestly, we could spend weeks rounding up dairy-free gingerbread products. But this is the list of goodies that we simply couldn’t resist. Just be sure to run, run, run to the store as fast as you can. Once the holidays pass, you won’t be able to catch the gingerbread man in stores …

All of the non-dairy products mentioned below are dairy-free by ingredients. Ingredients are subject to change at any time, so always read the label! And as always, contact the manufacturer to discuss their production processes if a severe food allergy is a concern for you. There is always some degree of cross-contamination risk, and allergen labels (or lack of) should not be relied on exclusively. We cannot evaluate if a product is safe for your needs.

This dairy-free sweet potato butter is infused with brown sugar and loads of spices for a warm spread. I think you deserve this – snatch it up for the holidays!

Katz Gingerbread Donuts

These glazed donuts are sold in stores, but can also be ordered online! Katz is a dairy-free, gluten-free, nut-free bakery, so these donuts are, too. But they do contain eggs.

Bobo’s Gingerbread Oat Bars

We love Bobo’s bars. They’re simple, flavorful, gluten-free, kosher pareve, and probably the most filling baked snacks on the market. This holiday version is spiked with the warm nutmeg, ginger, cinnamon, and allspice. You can also buy it in a Holiday Variety Pack, which includes Pumpkin Spice!

Gingerbread Oreos

I usually try my best to stay away from these addictive cookies, but I might break down for this holiday flavor. They come in regular packages and snack packs.

Just grab a spoon. There’s no need to be shy around this creamy natural peanut butter sweetened with organic cane sugar and molasses and seasoned with ginger and allspice.

If you’re an avid Larabar consumer, like me, then this limited edition flavor should be on your list. It’s still free of sweeteners (no molasses) but it contains cinnamon, ginger, and allspice.

Skinny Pop Gingerbread Cookie Kettle Corn

You really can’t go wrong with this sweet popcorn. It’s tossed with cinnamon, ginger, allspice, and cloves to complete the gingerbread experience. We haven’t found it online yet, but they did confirm that it’s hitting stores again this year for the holidays.

Pillsbury Gingerbread Cookie Dough

In truth, they Pillsbury makes quite a few dairy-free cookie dough varieties. But this one only pops up for the holidays!

Amoretti Gingerbread Cookie Spread

Cookie butter fans will swoon over this creamy puree of gingerbread cookies. It just happens to be vegan, too.

Iced Gingerbread Clif Bars

These are more of a vegan sweet than a snack, in my opinion. But that doesn’t take away from their deliciousness.

Celestial Seasonings tends to pack quite a bit of flavor into their teas, and this spicy selection is no exception. It’s a perennial favorite.

The Amaze Bars from Taza are a special treat made with organic stone ground chocolate. This holiday flavor goes above and beyond with ginger cookies and an extra dose of spices. And Taza is one of the few dairy-free, kosher pareve chocolate makers.

There are quite a few gingerbread cookie mixes on the market that are made without dairy. But gfJules makes the only one (we’ve found) that is kosher pareve and has a dairy-free preparation!

Enjoy Life Gingerbread Spice Soft Baked Cookies

It isn’t that hard to find gingerbread cookies that are made without dairy – you might even spot some in the bakery section at your grocer.

Nakd Ginger Bread Bars

This UK company is now shipping their bars to the U.S., and the wholesome, 6-ingredient, vegan, ginger bread flavor is a fan favorite.

Wilton Gingerbread Kits (Select Varieties)

Sarah spotted several of these gingerbread cookie kits that are made without dairy. They include pre-baked cookies, icing, and decorations, and come in adorable scenes like a Train, Lighthouse, and Mini Village. It looks like Wilton also makes the Paw Patrol Gingerbread Kit, and perhaps this adorable Mini Gingerbread House Mug Huggers Kit. Some of these are also vegan, by ingredients.
