Holiday Gift Guide: Vegan Christmas Desserts That Ship Nationwide

The emails start rolling in right after Thanksgiving:

“What should I send my aunt this year?”
“Do we need treats for the holiday party?”
“Can you ship to my remote team and bring donuts to the office?”

Short answer: yes.
Long answer: here’s your Southern Roots Holiday Gift Guide—for cozy family gifting, office celebrations, and everything in between.

Everything we make is dairy-free, egg-free, soy-free and nut-free, so you can send one kind of dessert to a mixed group and know more people can say yes.

Important holiday shipping dates

Let’s start with timing so you can plan without stressing:

  • Nationwide shipping – last day to order for Christmas delivery:
    Monday, December 16
  • San Antonio & surrounding areas – last day to order for local delivery:
    Monday, December 22
  • Last day to schedule a local delivery (San Antonio area):
    Tuesday, December 23 between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m.

We deliver to commercial and residential addresses—and if your celebration is at a restaurant or event space, we can deliver there too (as long as it’s within our delivery area and during our delivery hours).

Now, let’s talk gifts.

For friends & family: gifts that feel like a hug in a box

If you’re shopping for your “every year I never know what to get them” people, dessert is the move.

1. The “Everyone’s Coming Over” Gift

Party Bundle

This is your one-click answer for:

  • Christmas Eve gatherings
  • Holiday brunches
  • Friendsmas dinners
  • Church small groups

Each Party Bundle includes:

  • 1 dozen donuts
  • 1 dozen cookies
  • 1 Naked Cake

You get that photo-worthy moment when the cake comes out, plus easy-to-grab donuts and cookies for snackers and kids wandering through the kitchen.

Flavor ideas:

  • Donuts: Vanilla, Lemon, Red Velvet
  • Cookies: Chocolate Chip, Oatmeal Raisin, Double Chocolate Chip, Sugar Cookie
  • Naked Cake: Strawberry, Funfetti, Lemon, Chocolate, Red Velvet, or Carrot

Ship it nationwide to family you can’t see in person, or have it delivered locally to your door in San Antonio before everyone arrives.

2. The “We’re Not Traveling This Year” Gift

Dozens of Donuts or Cookies

Perfect for:

  • Families staying home for the holidays
  • Grandparents with lots of grandkids dropping by
  • Couples hosting a low-key Christmas at home

Donuts by the dozen are made for Christmas morning: coffee, pajamas, and a box of Vanilla, Lemon, or Red Velvet donuts on the table.

Cookies by the dozen are great for:

  • Santa plates
  • Cookie decorating stations with kids (Sugar Cookies especially)
  • Movie nights with leftover cocoa

They also freeze beautifully. Warm one up in the microwave for 10–15 seconds and you’re basically in a bakery, minus the line.

3. The “Thoughtful But Easy to Ship” Gift

Perfect Pair Bundles & Assorted Dozens

For long-distance relatives, college students, new parents, or that friend who always hosts:

  • Perfect Pair Bundle: ½ dozen donuts + ½ dozen cookies in one ready-to-gift package
  • Assorted dozens: a mix of flavors so everyone in the house finds a favorite

This is the kind of gift that says, “I know your life is full right now—here’s something sweet you don’t have to bake.

For offices & teams: holiday gifting without the headache

If you’re HR, admin, People Ops, a team lead, or an executive assistant, this is your sweet spot.

1. The office holiday party powerhouse

Corporate Bundle – 8 dozen donuts

This is the hero of office holiday parties, end-of-year town halls, and “we survived Q4” mornings.

  • What you get: 8 dozen donuts (96 donuts total)
  • Best for: 40–80 people, depending on whether folks grab 1 or 2 each
  • Flavors: we recommend our three best-sellers—Vanilla, Lemon, and Red Velvet—for broad appeal

If you’re local to San Antonio and surrounding areas:

  • Your Corporate Bundle arrives in a bakery box, ready to place straight onto your dessert table.
  • Want them individually wrapped?
    Leave a note in the “Order Notes” box in your cart and tell us you’d like individually wrapped donuts. We’ll pack them that way so you can lay out neat rows on a conference table, welcome desk, or buffet.

We can deliver to:

  • Offices
  • Co-working spaces
  • Event venues
  • Restaurants where you’re hosting your holiday dinner

As long as it’s in our delivery area and between Monday–Saturday, 9 a.m.–6 p.m., we’ll bring the bakery to you.

2. For smaller teams & departments

Party Bundle (again!)

If your department is doing its own celebration, the Party Bundle is ideal:

  • All-in-one dessert spread
  • Easy to plate for a conference room, team lounge, or boardroom
  • Feels like a real “setup” with minimal effort from you

Add a printed note from leadership—“Thank you for everything you’ve done this year”—and you’ve just created a meaningful moment with one click.

3. For remote employees & hybrid teams

Individual boxes shipped to their homes

Your in-person team might get a Corporate or Party Bundle, but your remote employees shouldn’t be left out.

Great options for remote:

  • Dozens of donuts or cookies shipped to one person’s house for their family
  • Perfect Pair Bundles for a treat that lasts beyond one day
  • Cookie-only boxes for folks who like something they can nibble on throughout the week

Pro move: time shipments so they arrive just before your virtual holiday party or end-of-year all-hands. Mention the treats in your invite so people know they’re part of the moment.

For San Antonio & nearby: Christmas dessert delivery to your door

If you’re in San Antonio, Schertz, Converse, Fair Oaks Ranch, Boerne, Live Oak, or Cibolo, you have an extra advantage: local delivery.

Local delivery details

  • Last day to order: Monday, December 22
  • Last possible delivery date: Tuesday, December 23, scheduled between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m.

We can deliver to:

  • Homes
  • Offices
  • Restaurants
  • Event centers

You set the date and window, and we show up with everything ready to serve.

Don’t forget the pies (local only)

For San Antonio and nearby only, we also offer:

  • Sweet Potato Pie
  • Pumpkin Pie
  • Apple Pie (oat crumble)

They pair beautifully with donuts and cookies for:

  • Christmas Eve dessert tables
  • Holiday potlucks
  • Big family lunches that stretch into the evening

You don’t have to choose between tradition and simplicity—you can have both.

How to choose (quick cheat sheet)

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, here’s your fast path:

  • Shopping for family out of state?
    • Party Bundle or Perfect Pair Bundle
    • Ship by December 16 for Christmas delivery.
