10 Starbucks Holiday Beverages 160 Calories or Less

The first taste of a peppermint mocha or whiff of an eggnog latte signals the start of a beloved time of year with the return of Starbucks holiday beverages.

Starbucks baristas share their tips for enjoying a lighter sip of favorite seasonal beverages. They suggest three simple ways to customize holiday beverages, and recommend 10 holiday beverages that are 160 calories or less (based on a tall, 12 fluid ounce serving size).

Fewer Pumps

Ask for fewer pumps of syrup to help reduce the sweetness and calories in any beverage.

Skip the Whip

Request just a little whip or no whip to save between 80 to 110 calories, depending on the size and type of drink.

Make it Skinny

Most handcrafted espresso and Frappuccino® blended beverages can be requested “light” or “skinny,” made with nonfat milk and without whipped cream. A tall skinny latte also meets 30 percent of daily calcium needs.
