We propose an efficient method for the numerical solution of a general class of two dimensional semilinear parabolic problems on polygonal meshes. The proposed approach takes advantage of the properties of the serendipity version of the Virtual Element Method (VEM), which not only significantly reduces the number of degrees of freedom compared to the classical VEM but also, under certain conditions on the mesh allows to approximate the nonlinear term with an interpolant in the Serendipity VEM space; which substantially improves the efficiency of the method. An error analysis for the semi discrete formulation is carried out, and an optimal estimate for the error in the L_2-norm is obtained. The accuracy and efficiency of the proposed method when combined with a second order Strang operator splitting time discretization is illustrated in our numerical experiments, with high order approximations up to order 6.
