The leading coffee chains in Britain have released Christmas drink menus in early November, and they provide customers with nearly 20 choices.

With so many drinks to choose from, we wonder which one you should have if you are watching your waistline, and which one is the best alternative when cutting the calories in your diet.

Topping of the chart is Starbucks’ Chocolate fudge Frappuccino. Having been criticised for the staggering amounts of sugar in its hot chocolate, the festival drink from Starbuck still contains 34.46g of sugar in its tall size, which is relative high. And more surprisingly, the Frappuccino has an incredible 315kcal.
