It is amazing how many calories are in some of these drinks. It is so easy to get caught up in the holiday craze and drink almost an entire meal in one cup!

I am also a tea girl – much cheaper too!

Wow! Thanks for posting this. I knew the Holiday drinks were on the calorically dense side but I didn’t realize how high the saturated fat content is! I always stick with the Tea at Starbucks.

I love the Tazo passion tea, but I prefer it iced instead of hot. It’s the right amounts fruity and somewhat spicy. Even better: I shake a little of the powdered vanilla into the cup.

Nice to meet you Corinne! I found your blog via Coconut Crumbs. I’m also a dietetic intern completing a pediatric specialty internship at St. Louis University.

I don’t drink milk, so I usually get tea at Starbucks, too.

Hm, I’ve never heard of a short, but I like this idea! I actually just tried my Starbucks’s Holiday Tea…it was some sort of black tea mixed with a few other spices, and was definitely tasty for being on the lighter side! Merry Christmas!

Woah,,,thanks for sharing. It’s always horrifying when you hear these stats. I’ve started wondering when Sbucks will start offering organic coffee/free trade…as well as maybe a lil rice milk or almond milk??? I would be soo happy!
Happy Holidays!

I heard recently that you can order a “short” size but every time I go, I always forget about it. I do love starbucks and have gotten a couple of the holiday drinks just as a treat. Like you recommended, I always go for the tall, no whip, and non-fat. It can still add up, but once and a while, you have to indulge.
My favorite holiday drink is the gingerbread latte. My normal drink is usually a tall nonfat latte, no whip.
Thanks for the great post!
