The leading coffee chains in Britain have released Christmas drink menus in early November, and they provide customers with nearly 20 choices.<\/p>\n

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. After we dissected the drink reports <\/a>from Caff\u00e8 Nero, Costa and Starbucks, we found out the top five most calorific Christmas drinks and the healthiest one.<\/p>\n

Topping of the chart is Starbucks\u2019 Chocolate fudge Frappuccino<\/a>. 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.<\/p>\n
