I love love love that time of year when Starbucks starts using their red winter cups...just lets everyone know that Christmas is coming!:heart:

But I also love some of the drinks they offer during this time of year!

My current favorite is their Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate! SOooo good. Though, not so great for the ole waistline, so I have to limit to once a week as a dessert....

What's your favorite 'Limited Time' Drink?

:drinker:

    Oh yes... I definitely get it with nonfat...and no whip...but it's still 270 calories for a short! ugh. Some things in life are just not fair. :grumble:

    My favorite was the Dolce De Leche Latte...yum!

    I used to work for a company that did promotional work for Starbucks so we would get to try all of their drinks before they came out and had the supplies to make them at work. This is probably part of the reason I have to now lose weight!

    Now, my favorite is a sugar-free vanilla soy chai.

    Me too. I do like a soy latte once in a very great while, though.

    Nope! I'm not a coffee snob, prefer filter or even instant coffee to the stuff that machine stuff. With some milk to cool it down x

    i think I’m one of the rare people who loves just plain old coffee from Starbucks. A couple times a year I’ll get a flavored latte. This weekend i had a skinny peppermint latte. First time ordering anything skinny and was pleasantly surprised at how good it was.

    I walked by one as they have a store in target and it smelled so good and I don't even drink coffee !

    If it tasted half as good as it smells I would be an addict!

    I find most of the fancy a Starbucks drinks way to sweet. But I will get a triple grande nonfat one pump gingerbread latte once or twice over the season. And maybe a skinny peppermint mocha, because they taste like Thin Mint cookies like the Girl Scouts sell.

    But usually I just make my own coffee at home...preferably with a little cinnamon. For a treat, I'll top it with whipped cream, saves calories and money.
