Fast-Food Holiday Drinks to Avoid

It doesn't make any difference the calories because almost all of these drinks are nasty. People are obsessed with everything tasting like something else. What about coffee that tastes like coffee??? What a concept...

I have had two throat surgeries and if I get fat off a coffee so be it just looking to enjoy the rest of my life. Don't get me wrong I am a size 10 and diabetic but there has to be some pleasures in life.

This is a lie! I work at Starbucks and we do NOT make eggnog with whole milk. You have to ask to get it with whole milk and then you only get 1/3 of whole milk. We personally mix our eggnog and the calorie count is less than the McDonald's drink. TAKE THAT!!

I'll never give up my eggnog latte, calories be damned!!!

Blah blah blah ... enjoy an indulgence every now and then. Life is dull and gray without them.

Starbucks doesn't give you whole milk unless you request it. It's always 2%. These tactics to frightening consumers immediately makes me leery of anything written by the author.

A little eggnog with your bourbon? Hell...if you can't enjoy a little over indulgence anymore at xmas time without feeling guilty, whats left? The economy sucks, the govt. sucks, my job sucks, ohhh...thats right...I'm unemployed. So...leave my holiday drinks ALONE!

It really ruins the way you enjoy things when you know how many calories are in things.

Everything is bad for you now a days! so this article is like meh.... on the contrary, it made me want to go to Starbucks.

This is why I love the holidays- I get to splurge on pretty much whatever I want. Then I get back in great shape after New Year's. This way I still get my satisfaction without packing on the pounds. The holidays are such a happy time.

We can't even enjoy holiday drinks? Stop with types of articles, it really doesn't help. A little indulgence is very good for the soul.

Do they have to ruin everything? Yes I know it has a lot of calories. Once in awhile just let me enjoy it please, without the guilt.

As long as these are a treat and not a staple what is the big deal. They do tend to only be around for a limited time anyway. I can't drink coffee or alcohol, so my winter treat is hot chocolate and the mint one from McDonald's is great.

This is one time of the year that I just throw caution to the wind and eat whatever it is I want.. I can't wait til tgiving! I am making these amazing crispy sweet potato and jalapeno balls that are amazing. I found the recipe online at this hilarious food website. It's a bit unpc, so I won't tell you the name of it, but if you want the recipe (and you can take a good joke and you don't get offended easily) just google "whipped and bea ten culinary works" and go to the "blogs and recipes" tab. there is a post called "Thanksgiving Sides".. there are about 4 great recipes including the sweet potato and jalapeno balls.. Happy Turkey Day!!!

I clicked on to see which drinks to avoid, but now I want one! Dang it!

So get the small size and ask for skim milk and no whip topping.

Really, who gets Venti size drinks with whole milk? If you want to write a calorie count article, refer to a more reasonable size like grande or medium with 2% milk. I haven't conducted a study on the issue, but I'm guessing that's what 90% of people order. Using Venti with whole milk is like saying, if you were to eat 23 Twinkies, you'd be ingesting a whole bunch calories, fat, and yellow dye #5. Well, yeah, of course you would. But who eats 23 Twinkies? Do you see my point? Use sizes and products that people actually order.

these are all large with whole milk. Who gets large with whole milk?

Well, no duh about the eggnog latte. Everyone assumes it's just a latte with milk, espresso, and some eggnog flavored syrup or something. Reality - it's at least half actual eggnog, maybe a bit more depending on your barista. This is why your barista laughs at you when you order a "skim" eggnog latte...

oh my! these are my favorites.....how can i stop craving for them?!?...
