I love all the fun holiday flavors.. peppermint, gingerbread, eggnog, mint chocolate.. love love love! Unfortunately most of the time they come in not-so-healthy mediums. Of course a cookie here, a candy cane there and perhaps a little eggnog won’t do too much harm.. but I’ve never been particularly great at moderation.. especially when it comes to such yummy treats! So I’m always looking for healthier options.
And here you have my absolutely favorite alternatives..
The holiday flavor coffees from World Market are a new favorite for me this year. I’m usually not very impressed with flavored coffees, but I’m loving these! They have great flavor that compliments the coffee and doesn’t taste fake or overwhelming.
I’d heard about Bigelow Teas holiday flavors, but this is the first time I actually found them. Starbucks Carmel Apple Cider is amazing (if you haven’t tried it, go get a tall immediatelly), but it’s soooo unhealthy, so I am loving Bigelow’s Apple Cider with a little SF English Toffee Syrup mixed in!
The Eggnogg’n flavor is pretty good to, but I still prefer my #1 all time favorite holiday tea, Sugar Cookie Sleigh Ride! I make mine by adding a little Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Breeze, a few drops of Stevia, Vanilla and a dash of Cinnamon.. amazing.
And last but not least.. craving a Candy Cane.. Candy Cane Lane to the rescue! This one’s pretty good plain, but it’s even more fantastic with a little Unsweetened Almond Milk, Stevia and Sugar-Free White Chocolate Syrup..
Enjoy!

I’ve been a little obsessed with Trader Joe’s holiday collection. Candy Cane Lane makes me a very happy girl right before bed.

They don\’t have Trader Joe\’s here in Austin, it\’s so sad! I actually asked my parents, who live up in Seattle, to send a TJ\’s care package
Awesome suggestions! I too am a sucker for peppermint mocha and gingerbread drinks. These are really great! Thanks!
Good to know about World Market coffees! I’ll make sure to check them out:)
Love Sugar Cookie Sleigh Ride!
hi! just found your site – love it!
sleighride tea has been one of my favs for a couple of years. there’s another apple cide tea brand that comes in a canister (can’t remember the brand now) that’s really tasty too.
I still have my gingerbread tea from last year-going to have to break that out!
I used to live in AZ, near a World Market. But they don’t have them here in New England!!! The closest one is New Jersey. Miss those tasty coffees.
I’m a flavored hot tea fanatic especially this time of year…it’s comfort food, isn’t it?
