Starbucks holiday drinks are what make the winter season feel festive in the early weeks of November all the way until Christmas. They make the snowy days of the season feel a lot more cheery and warm!

Some of these drinks are definitely better than others depending on how many calories and the price you are willing to spend on these delicious dessert drinks.

1. White Chocolate Mocha

The White Chocolate Mocha drink is definitely my favorite and most festive drink on the Starbucks menu. Not only are the flavors amazing, but the red and white holiday sprinkles give the drink that extra Christmas flare. This drink is worth the calories!

2 . The Peppermint Mocha

The Peppermint Mocha drink was one of my first holiday drinks at Starbucks and is a go to classic for those dabbling in the world of holiday drinks. It's definitely a bit on the sweet side, but for dessert lovers this drink will keep you cozy by the fire!

3. The Chestnut Praline Latte

The Chestnut Praline Latte is a drink I feared to try for many years because of my distain for nut tasting foods, but this drink is actually incredible! I usually ask for almond or coconut milk and it tastes even better!

4. The Eggnog Latte

The Egg nog Latte is a bit high in calories at a wopping 460 for their smaller grande size cup, but its tastiness is worth overlooking that small detail. It truly tastes like something you would drink on Christmas morning. This drink also has espresso shots in it so it is good for people who have early rising schedules!

5. Gingerbread Latte

I have never been a big gingerbread fan, but this seasonal drink is amazing. It is a beautiful blend of spicy, yet sweet flavors that put you in the holiday mood. This drink is only 200 calories for a grande which in comparison to the other four drinks, is not bad at all!

Starbucks is not the only place that sells holiday drinks, Dunkin Donuts and Coffee Bean also have great less pricey options and flavors that you should definitely check out! Most of these drinks can also be modified to fit dietary resctrictions and health concerns.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
