During the holiday season most people worry about the amount of calories hidden in the food they consume. However, there are several high-calorie drinks that can destroy your weight loss goals faster than any calorie dense pastry. Be smart and avoid the drinks below:

1. Peppermint Mocha: 470 calories per 16-ounce serving
2. Pumpkin Spice Frappuccino: 470 calories per 16-ounce serving
3. Hot Buttered Rum: 418 calories per serving
4. Pumpkin Spice Latte: 410 calories per 16-ounce serving
5. Margarita: 408 calories per 9-ounce serving
6. White Russian: 355 calories per serving
7. Eggnog: 350 calories per serving
8. Hot Chocolate: 320 calories per 12-ounce serving
9. Mud Slide: 295 calories per 4-ounce serving
10. Brandy Alexander: 246 calories per 4-ounce serving

If you cannot resist having one of these drinks during the holiday season (I know I can’t resist a peppermint mocha!) then make sure you use skim/soy milk and say no thank you to the whipped cream. This will save you at least 150 calories per 16-ounce serving.
