The time of festive cheer, dazzling lights and good food is here. For us, Christmas represents the spirit of giving, for company it’s the spirit of spending. Coffee companies are no exception. No coffee company raves about their Christmas specials quite like Starbucks. With new additions to their fancy festive coffee choices. If you’ve been avoiding their Christmas editions because it looks nothing like coffee, or because you’re on a strict diet, congratulations. If you’re squealing with delight, it might be horror after this.
It’s puzzling why certain items are only available in Singapore. What’s even more puzzling is why little nutrition information is available. To help you make better and informed choices, here’s a quick glance.
*The nutrition values serve only as a guide and are not absolute.
Cranberry White Chocolate Mocha
Without cranberry it’s a whopping 470 calories, with cranberry sauce topped with cranberry sugar, you do the math.
Christmas Cookie Latte
Fancy, festive and new, this deceptive drink is all you need to make your diet crumble.
Peppermint Mocha
Refreshingly sinful, drink enough of this and it will pack quite a paunch.
Toffee nut latte
In United States, they replaced the toffee nut crumbs with hazelnut syrup. But that doesn’t make it any less decadent.
Go ahead, reward yourself with one of these, but consume in moderation or you’ll be jiggling all the way into the New Year.
