Holiday Coffee Ratings

Holiday Drinks To Try (Or Avoid)

One of the largest money making industries of the holiday season is the coffee industry. From Starbucks to Scooter's to Caribou Coffee, the coffee industry is endless with options. People out and about Christmas shopping can't help but stop in for a cup of joe. As a coffee industry employee, I have made my list of the best holiday drinks.

7. Eggnog Latte

Eggnog itself is a very unusual drink. It has an acquired taste, so making it into a latte only pleases a small population of people. If you love Eggnog, you will love the Eggnog latte.

6. Gingerbread Cookie Latte

The Gingerbread Cookie Latte is a very mild holiday drink, which is probably why it is so low on the ratings.

5. Hot Cinnamon Roll Latte

The Hot Cinnamon Roll is a hidden drink on the Scooter's menu and is one that any coffee lover will fall in love with. Pair this with a cinnamon roll

4. Peppermint Mocha

Many of you may be surprised at how low on the ratings this holiday favorite is. However, I believe the Peppermint Mocha is almost too rich. I can barely drink a cup of it because it is so sweet.

3. Cranberry White Mocha

This new holiday drink is a lot better than it sounds. It is a white mocha with a sweet cranberry aftertaste that will refresh your holiday experience.

2. Pumpkin Spice Latte

Call me basic, but you have to be crazy to not like the pumpkin spice. The pumpkin spice latte is so good and addicting. I am a die hard fan and I have no idea what it is that makes it so good and delicious. If you are lucky enough to have a coffee shop still serving the pumpkin spice, go and treat yo' self.

1. Peppermint White Mocha

Peppermint White Mocha is absolutely amazing. If you are a fan of Ghiradelli's Peppermint Bark, you will love the Peppermint White Mocha. It will make any Grinch smile.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf: Your Spirit Animal

Who wouldn't wanna be Queen B?

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo
