Costa vs Starbucks vs Pret's Christmas drinks: Who comes out on top

With Christmas just around the corner, everyone is starting to get into the festive spirit. As the weather starts to get a little cooler people are turning to coffee shops for their winter fix while out and about. I went out onto our highstreet and tried some festive themed drinks from three of the biggest coffee chains.

My first stop on this taste test was Costa for one of their Christmas hot chocolates. Being a big fan of chocolate orange, I just had to try their Terry’s Chocolate Orange hot chocolate. With a lovely thick layer of cream and a complimentary chocolate, the drink looked great. In the first sip you can taste the strong orange flavour followed by a chocolatey aftertaste.

The drink wasn’t too sweet which made it even more perfect for everyone to drink in the run up to Christmas. At a price of £4.20 for a medium hot chocolate it is on the dearer side but it’s still a great treat on a winter's day with only 327 kcal in a medium cup.
