The vegan-friendly 'Cocoa Peppermint Flavored Almond Creamer' naturally makes a sweet companion to coffee but the dairy-free, gluten-free and lactose-free creamer also has the potential to be splashed into oatmeal, pancake batter or even hot chocolate. Just a few years ago, there were limited [plant-based alternatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alpro-barista-caramel) to holiday food and beverage products for consumers with certain sensitivities and dietary preferences but increasing demand from the mainstream has made a wide range of free-from options available. As the holidays are a time of indulgence for many people, these plant-powered, better-for-you options are also appealing to those who are looking to get an early start on any health-related resolutions. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.6/10 - Popularity: 50% | Activity: 21% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Health](https://www.trendhunter.com/health) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Plant-based Holiday Alternatives:** As demand for plant-based options grows, there is an opportunity for companies to create more holiday-themed products that cater to dietary restrictions and preferences. - **Multipurpose Non-dairy Creamers:** As consumers look for more versatile and convenient products, there is an opportunity for companies to create non-dairy creamers that can be used in a variety of ways beyond just coffee. - **Early Adopters of Health Trends:** As more people focus on health and wellness, there is an opportunity for companies to cater to early adopters by promoting plant-based and better-for-you options during the holiday season. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Food and Beverage:** Companies in the food and beverage industry can benefit from creating more plant-based holiday-themed products and versatile non-dairy creamers. - **Hospitality:** Hotels and restaurants can capitalize on health and wellness trends by offering plant-based and better-for-you options during the holiday season. - **Retail:** Retailers can benefit from offering a wider range of plant-based and non-dairy holiday-themed products to meet the increasing demand from the mainstream market. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Festive Holiday-Themed Creamers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/winter-collection.md) - [Dairy-Free Egg Nog](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trader-joes-o-nog.md) - [Versatile Cafe Drink Creamers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/organic-sweet-cream-creamer.md) - [Dairy-Free Chocolate Berry Creamers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chocolate-strawberry-almond-creamer.md) - [Decadent Dairy-Free Creamers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/califia-farms-1.md) - [Dairy-Free Coconut Milks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/organic-nondairy-coconut-beverage.md) - [Gingerbread Oatmilk Creamers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gingerbread-oatmilk-creamer.md) - [Plant-Based Eggnog](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oatnog.md) - [Heavy Whipping Cream Alternatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vegan-heavy-whipping-cream-alternative.md)
