Picture the scene: you’re in your nearest town doing your Christmas shopping. You’re laden down with bags, sick of hearing All I Want For Christmas Is You and your feet hurt. Time for a pit stop at one of the high street’s chain coffee shops, and you want a festive lunch, because who are you to let the Christmas spirit die?
You don’t want to completely let go of your self-restraint, because it’s not Christmas just yet and you need to fit into your Christmas jumper for at least another few weeks. You need to go in prepared, with your MyFitnessPal app fully clued up. Along with our guide to Starbucks and Costa’s Christmas drinks, this guide to all the new festive food menus at Starbucks and Costa is all you need to keep those cals in check.
