Don’t Walk, RUN!!!

This coffee has been my go-to for the last few years - it is my FAVORITE! I am a huge coffee drinker and this is the only coffee that consistently tastes delicious. The flavor isn’t too overbearing and is just a good basic coffee. I’m super bummed it is only out at the holiday time, but I love that Sam’s carries this huge bag. This coffee always flys off the shelves, so be sure to stock up!

Love it

I look forward to the holiday bend each year as it never disappoints. The 2018 is excellent. I had a ladies brunch recently and we made several pots of this coffee which was a suprise and many say Starbucks is to strong. As I said to them, Starbucks has many coffee's you just have to find the one that you like. I suspect more of the holiday blend will be sold after our brunch.

Compared to previous Holiday Blends, disappointing

As many others, I wait this time of the year to buy and savour Starbucks’ Holiday Blend. This year’s blend is not too special, especially if compared to past brews. It is marketed as sweet and herbal with notes of maple. It is definitely very herbal tasting but I wouldn’t describe it as sweet. Au contraire it’s quite dark and bitter. Try it first before buying, if possible.

Excellent, warm blend

I make a pot of coffee every morning... This week has been the "Holiday Blend"- which I love!! It combines so many of the warm flavors of the season that takes me back to my mom's kitchen growing up. I do wish it had been available already ground instead of only whole bean- having to get it ground and hope they do it the way i ask or like, which they never do...

Bold and tasteful

Loving this 2019 holiday blend! Bold & flavorful, exactly how I love my coffee! Got to share with family over the holidays & they all love it too! Especially my step mom who looks forward to the holiday blend each year since she used to work for Starbucks. I’ll definitely have to stock up!

I'm in the Holiday

I wait all year for this special Holiday blend & try to buy enough, that I hope it lasts through the year. My Breville coffee maker infuses & brews, which brings out all the favor. I'm not sure what else SB can do to it to make it greater, so why don't we just leave it along.

Burnt. Stay away, not what you’re expecting.

This is not the same as purchased last year. This is supposed to be a medium roast and it is almost black with an acrid scent. After brewing it smells burnt and is an unpleasant cup of coffee with zero maple notes or anything appetizing. I wish I could return this or swap it out for a proper bag. Stay away from this years offering.

Wait for it all year!

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?

Torn Between Medium And Dark

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.

Silver xmas bag

The smell of this bag is horrible. The coffee smells burnt, tastes extremely sour . I thought at first I burnt the coffee. So I made another batch. It's not me it's the coffee is smells and taste sour and burnt and disgusting. I would not suggest this coffee. There are better blends in this. The Christmas blend is disappointing
