HOLY CARP!!!
Healthy Holiday Choices
from Real Simple

Champagne or Cocktail?
Better: Champagne
From a purely caloric standpoint, Champagne is the clear winner of this contest. A flute has about 75 calories, while a mixed drink, like a whiskey sour, can have up to 240 calories.

Mixed Nuts or Olives?
Better: Olives
Olives are high in monounsaturated fats, which help lower cholesterol. Olives are also lower in calories and fat than nuts.

Red or White Wine?
Better: Red Wine
The skin of the grape contains the antioxidant resveratrol, which has beneficial properties such as anti-inflammatory, anticoagulant and cholesterol-improving effects.

Soft or Hard Cheese?
Better: Soft Cheese
Some soft cheeses (Brie, goat) are slightly lower in calories than hard cheeses (Cheddar, Gruyère). Soft cheeses have a tiny bit less fat than hard.

Candy Cane or Chocolate Kisses?
Better: Candy Cane
Granted, a candy cane is pure sugar, with no real nutritional value, but one candy cane has 55 calories and no fat, while Kisses contain fat.

Cocoa or Eggnog?
Better: Cocoa
Cocoa, even when it’s made with whole milk, has only half the calories of eggnog. Cocoa also contains antioxidants called flavonoids that help prevent arteries from clogging.
