    It's not just the season of giving and receiving and trying desperately to stay away from the onslaught of iced goodies in the office. It's also the time of year our calendars are packed full of holiday parties. As tempting as it is to splurge, there are gajillions of calories spread from the buffet to the bar. Even if you do opt to eat a delicious dessert or cannot resist a gooey appetizer, you can keep a handle on your calories by choosing your cocktails wisely.



    Many of the cocktails we raise in end-of-year toasts are packed full of calories, carbs, and fat, which many of us work very hard to curb every other month of the year. Before you order up a cup of eggnog or something strong on the rocks, take our calorie quiz to see if even one sip is worth it.



    Whether you choose to really enjoy one calorie-rich cocktail or to stick to lower calorie drinks at the next get-together, these tips will help you cheers your health while you're clinking your glass.



    Will you watch what you drink this season? Or will you splurge on a seasonal cocktail at your next party?
