We may not get snow or a change in the color of our leaves, but that doesn’t mean we don’t get to enjoy all that the change in seasons has to offer! Along with the undeniably perfect weather, one thing to look forward to is the yummy seasonal Holiday drink specials at Starbucks. While you’re sipping on your mint hot chocolate or other delicious refreshment, you may want to know just how many calories you’re consuming.
The Starbucks Holiday drink specials are finally here! At Starbucks, you will find a large selection of yummy holiday specials. Although these drinks are deadly delicious, you will find they all contain a high level of calories. They may be something you might want to use as your special treat rather than your morning pick-me-up.
Here’s the low down on the tasty Holiday drink you’ve been craving all year:
