    Best and Worst Holiday Coffee Drinks

    Ho, ho, ho-ly crap are those holiday drinks at your local coffee chain bad for you. We know, we all want to indulge in a sugary-sweet holiday drink while we're out shopping for Christmas presents, and sometimes we just need an excuse to feel the holiday spirit. But with all the gingerbread cookies, peppermint bark, pies, hams, - and don't even make us count the wine and beer - the holiday drinks we've come to love and expect every holiday season are just adding onto your daily limit of calories and sugar.

    While we can't tell you that a peppermint mocha is as good for you as a carrot stick, we can tell you that at every coffee shop you visit, there is a healthier holiday option available. With fewer calories, grams of fat, and the true killer of it all, grams of sugar, these drinks can still make your holiday season sweet as can be. - Marcy Franklin, The Daily Meal

      Worst Drink at The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf: Peppermint Vanilla Ice Blended Drink or the Gingerbread Cookie Ice Blended Drink
      It's the same story over and over again: the iced, blended drinks are what will bust your diet, and fast. So Californians, beware of the iced blended drinks on the holiday menu: the Peppermint Vanilla Ice Blended drink has 480 calories, with 10 grams of fat and 81 grams of sugar. Similarly, the Gingerbread Cookie Ice Blended Drink on the menu is close behind: 480 calories, with 9 grams of fat and 91 grams of sugar. Good thing The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf offers no sugar added (NSA) chocolate and vanilla powders to dramatically cut back on the calories, sugar, and fat - a 16-ounce Peppermint Vanilla Ice Blended drink is only 260 calories, with ½ gram of fat and 36 grams of sugar.
