That's probably the Eggnog Latte.
But the basic ingredients of a latte are coffee and milk. Nothing that unhealthy there. And Starbucks now uses 2% instead of whole as their default milk.
Starbucks pioneered the latte-based coffeehouse concept across North America. For better or for worse, McDonald's isn't going to be able to hurt them. But what McDonald's might do is bring the concept to the lower class.
