Spring holiday menus

What is everyone cooking/eating for St. Patrick's/Easter/Passover/Ramadan/spring?

I had hoped to have vegan corned beef from Unreal Deli but the company had fulfillment issues and could not fill my order. So now I'm making colcannon for St. Patrick's. 

Still haven't figured out what to make for Easter. I was thinking of lentil shepherd's pie. In the winter holidays I made one of those fake meat roasts and it did not agree with me. It was the second brand I'd tried that had this problem so I think those roasts are just not for me. Is shepherd's pie too heavy? Maybe a pasta primavera? I already ordered vegan chocolates so I'm set for chocolate bunnies. 

Please share your meal/cooking ideas for a festive spring menu!

I visited family (who are non-vegan) over St Pat's. They made corned beef & cabbage, and boiled some cabbage, potatoes and carrots separately for me. I was surprised how good the plain boiled cabbage tasted and how nice and soft it got. I wouldn't have thought of cooking something special for St Pat's. I don't celebrate Easter but did order vegan chocolates last year.
