There is how much sugar in the Christmas Tree Frappuccino from Starbucks?
A friend of mine once said if you don’t put on a few pounds during the holiday season, you’re probably not enjoying yourself. I’ve “suffered” from this most years, but in 2017 Starbucks is making it even easier to do so with its Christmas Frappuccino. The limited edition beverage packs a whopping 420 calories and 50 grams of sugar – that’s 1/4 cup of sugar in a 16 fluid ounce beverage. No wonder it goes down easy peasy, but then again “a moment on the lips, forever on the hips” means this holiday beverage and ones like it will keep our Fattening of the Population investing theme in vogue over the coming quarters.
The month of December is purely dedicated to holiday preparation. With all the tree-decorating, ugly-sweater-wearing, and carol-singing moments, it should come as no surprise that Starbucks jumped in on the holiday fun with the release of the new Christmas Tree Frappuccino. But before you spit out your almond-based eggnog for this delightful holiday drink, we’re here to present you with the nutrition facts.
The drink is unquestionably pretty, and we’re all about indulging during the holidays, but if you’re watching your sugar intake, the Christmas Tree Frappuccino might be on your naughty list. The frozen Winter drink starts with a Peppermint Mocha Crème Frappuccino base and is topped with matcha whipped cream, caramel drizzle, candied cranberries, and a festive strawberry tree topper.

But don’t write it off just yet! While the drink is only available from Dec. 7 through Dec. 11, a Starbucks spokesperson has clued in POPSUGAR on some ways to customize the festive drink for the calorie-conscious caffeine fiends out there.
