Sweet holiday drinks to skip, and pick

Part of the holiday spirit comes in the form of seasonal beverages, whether it's a cocktail at a party or a coffee drink to warm up a cold day.

However, some of these favorite winter drinks may be packed with more fat, calories and sugar than most desserts.

So, on "The Early Show on Saturday Morning," Matt Bean, contributor to the "Eat This, Not That!" series, spelled out which ones are naughty for your waist, and which are nice for your figure and health - that is, which to pass on, and which to enjoy, and without guilt!
