Hot mulled cider. We all know eggnog is loaded with calories ‑- 340 per cup. Offer spicy hot mulled cider at about 115 calories per cup at your holiday gatherings instead. Not only will you save hundreds of calories, you'll infuse your entire house with the wonderful holiday scent of mulled cider.

Citrus. We've all heard the stories of how our ancestors were thrilled with holiday gifts of oranges or grapefruit; these once-exotic fruit were never routinely available or affordable for most people. Branch out from the expected and offer your guests tangelos, clementines, pomelos or even ugli fruit. Piled high in a festive bowl for a quick snack or tossed into colorful and healthy fruit salads, you can't go wrong with the flavors, colors and less than 100 calories per cup of citrus!
