Christmas is filled with tempting treats. Everything from fudge to homemade cookies is calling your name, but your newly slimmed down body is a reminder of how hard you've worked. Luckily, you can still enjoy some Christmas treats without expanding your waistband. Many of these treats are fat free, while still containing the Christmas flavors you're looking for.

Guilt Free Christmas Candy: Candy Canes

Candy canes are completely fat free. This is a great way to get the taste of Christmas, without all the fat and calories. While peppermint is the most popular choice, you can now find candy canes in several different flavors including Chocolate Mint, Pina Colada, as well as several other unique flavors.

Guilt Free Christmas Candy: Peppermint Jelly Belly Beans

Peppermint Jelly Belly Beans are fat free and contain one calorie per bean. This is a Christmas candy that you can snack on without feeling any guilt. If you're not crazy about peppermint, Jelly Belly also makes other Christmas flavors such as cinnamon and French vanilla.

Guilt Free Christmas Candy: Ribbon Candy

Ribbon candy is a very traditional Christmas treat. But, it's also a guilt free treat because it's fat free. Take your time and enjoy this treat instead of giving over to temptation. Your hips and thighs will thank you.

Guilt Free Christmas Candy: Dark Chocolate Dipped Fruit

Who said chocolate couldn't be guilt free? While everyone else is enjoying fudge or truffles, dip some dried cherries, apricots, or even dried pineapple into some dark chocolate. This is a snack you can honestly feel good about because dark chocolate is good for you.

Guilt Free Christmas Candy: Peppermint Discs

Another type of guilt free Christmas candy is peppermint discs. Peppermint discs are fat free and last a long time. Peppermint also makes most other flavors taste horrible. So, the next time you feel like popping down three sugar cookies, pop a peppermint instead. Plus, you'll have great breath incase you get caught under the mistletoe.
