I love all the Holiday blends. Thanksgiving included. I buy up extra bags and store them to make it through the winter months with my "special" coffee. For those who are leaving comments about the whole beans and wishing for ground, the store will grind them for you. My husband has this done all the time when traveling with his coffee press. Just specify your grind.

I hate writing this review but I have tried brewing this coffee several different ways - drip, press, Chemex - I just feel it is very weak tasting. I can hardly describe the flavor other than to say it is very, very mild. It is just not for me. I want a richer, bolder taste or richer, taste with notes of something. I don't notice any notes of anything. So sorry, to each his/her own and this is just not for me. I am going to try to exchange it for something else.

I enjoy Starbucks Cafe Verona year round, or at least until the holidays roll around and Holiday Blend once again becomes available. It’s my actual favorite—if only it were available year-round. It’s classified as a Medium roast, however, I drink Dark roast and would place it in that category, easily. Counting the days ‘til it’s back on the shelves!

From the very first sip of Starbucks Christmas Blend Coffee I knew I found the coffee I've been looking for. I've never found another coffee that can even compare to Starbucks Christmas Blend Coffee. The only problem is it's only available from October to January. I stock up now. I'll never run out of the Best Coffee I've ever had again.

As a neophyte to the pleasures of whole bean, I've been shopping around and gave Holiday Blend a try. It tasted "meh" to me, somehow I expected a more distinctive and memorable flavor. Maybe it's me, existentially caught between committing to a preference for medium and dark roast. This was medium in more ways than one.

If you are expecting this to taste as good as the Christmas Blend, you'll be disappointed! It has a herbal harsh aroma and is not smooth or sweet. I love the Kati-Kati, Christmas and Cave Verona blends, however, if I never purchase the Holiday blend again, it will be to soon.

This is a delicious balanced blend and definitely tastes like a holiday. It is also quite sweet and I'm confused as to why the ingredients only list 100% coffee and not any type of sweetener when clearly there is something added to it. This is required by law, and important for those with allergies, diabetics and those who prefer to avoid whatever it is they added-- sugar? corn syrup? artificial sweetener? Who knows

My usual ground coffee currently is Cafe B in the yellow package because I love deep rich flavor, but I saw this Starbucks one when I was at Sam’s and bought it because I was curious what a “holiday blend” tasted like. I must say that I was very impressed! I hate weak flavorless coffee and this one is definitely a rich flavorful cup of coffee! It does cost a little more than other brands but to be expected with some coffees, and considering you are home brewing like myself, we are still saving a ton of money vs. going to the shop and purchasing coffee. I plan to go back and buy several more bags this week to just have on hand for the next few months. Will look for this during the holidays going forward each year.

If you work in healthcare or corporate you know how important coffee is. This blend is absolutely delicious. The first sip and I’m revived. It’s like a B12 shot in a cup. CAN I HAVE AN UNLIMITED SUPPLY. This is my crack. It’s strong and perfect. That is all

I've been enjoying Holiday Blend for a couple years, and try to stock up but always run out before the year is up. It tastes great, nice and smooth and pairs greatly with a white chocolate raspberry creamer. Anybody have any suggestions on a similar Stabrucks product that is strong enough in k cup form?
