I buy $100 of this every year but I'm struggling to get through my first bag. This is not the same this year. It's not terrible, just not the same blend, very blah. If i got a bad bag, I will review my review but as of right now, very disappointed.

While looking for Christmas blend because of the full bodied taste.I was told by the representative that took my order, that "Holiday Blend" was almost the same thing!! so I ordered 4 boxes!!! We.... Holiday Blend is not the same thing and isn't even close to Christmas Blend!! Holiday Blend was akin to a Jimmy Kimmel "Terrible present" joke because now I'm stuck with 4 boxes, 4 boxes did I mention 4 boxes of scary dimly lit gas station flavored coffee.....Oh well HAPPY HOLIDAYS BLEND!!!

Just had my first cup of the Holiday Blend coffee for the 2019 season...big fail. It lacks any flavor...it does have a bitter low quality coffee flavor, but no flavor like is advertised. The 2018 blend was leaps and bounds better. I am very disappointed. I've got 23 k-cuos to sneak into the breakroom and leave for colleagues to brew.

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.

I have never tried the Holiday blend and I now like it better than the Christmas blend. It has great flavor and rich body. The stronger you make it the bolder the flavor becomes. I like my coffee mild and I can get all the goodness without having to have a strong cup of coffee. As the saying goes "try it you'll like it!"

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 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!

I love trying new flavors so I was excited to try the Holiday blend. The herbal flavor completely overpowered the maple and even the flavor of the coffee itself. No matter how much sugar or cream I add it tastes more like a Ricola lozenge than coffee. Will not be buying this in the future.

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.
