Nothing puts us in the holiday spirit more than sipping on a festive drink from Starbucks. But did you know that a grande-size peppermint mocha can set you back almost 500 calories?
Don’t worry — you don’t have to sign off mochas and lattes just yet. Here’s how to order a lighter version of your favorite holiday drinks at Starbucks.
Pumpkin Spice Latte
If your everyday choice of drink is a PSL, one simple swap can save you almost 300 calories (without skimping on flavor).
- Order a Caffè Misto with almond milk
- Add one pump of pumpkin spice
- Add one pump of vanilla
Caramel Brulée Latte
Yes, you can save calories and money on the fan-favorite beverage.
- Order a short-size latte
- Ask for non-fat milk
- Hold the whipped cream
Iced White Peppermint Mocha
At only 100 calories, this healthy take on the legendary mocha is just as good (if not, better!).
- Order a regular ice coffee (or cold brew if you’re feeling dangerous)
- Add one pump of peppermint
- Add one pump of white mocha
- Ask for light cream
Eggnog Latte
What’s more festive than an eggnog latte? Nothing. Make a few small adjustments to your order to reduce the amount of sugar and calories in each order.
- Ask for non-fat or almond milk
- Hold the whipped cream
- Add an espresso shot (optional)
Snickerdoodle White Mocha
The next time you order this sweet drink, try customizing your own order to save at least 200 calories.

- Ask for steamed almond milk
