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.

I normally drink this product together with Internation Delight creamer. I love the smoothness, unfortunately I started realizing whenever I drink this coffee my throat tightens up I think their may be something I'm allergic to in it and can no longer drink :( Sorry Starbucks, I will try a new blend but for my own personal safety can someone email me what kind of ingredients are in this coffee.

Starbucks Holiday Blend K-Cup Coffee tastes great every day. It has its own special flavor that makes you want to drink it all day long.My grandchildren gave me a gift of this coffee for my Christmas present & i was delighted. The only thing about it that is not so great the neighbor hood stores are all out of it. I think if you try it you will love it!!

If you like a good strong cup this one is it. I look forward to the holiday blend each year. I try to buy enough of both the ground & pod type to last well into the year. Used to be a Pike Place fan, but the taste has changed and is flat compared to this blend.

This was the prize I received during my office party Dirty Santa game. My coworker had just stolen the Starbucks mug set & the next prize I unwrapped was the Holiday blend. Well the joke was on them! The next morning I tried the coffee & it is so DARN GOOD! I was in Sams & stumbled on this bad, for get this $11.00! I will definitely go buy more since it’s not available year round! This is the first year I received a great gift!

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.

One of the most delicious coffees I've tried from the Starbucks Holiday line; this smooth, medium roast blend excites your taste buds with upfront notes of sweet/spicy maple and a light herbal note ends it. Wonderful with desserts; but I think it's a great coffee for your morning wake-up, Purchased 3 more pounds of whole bean Holiday Blend after being thrilled with the 1/2 pound bag -- strongly recommend grind as you go to keep coffee at its freshest.

This coffee blend is excellent. It is smooth with a hint of sweetness just as described. If brewed extremely strong, you get spicy hints. LOVE IT. This holiday if you are in the mood to try something a little different, this will definitely compliment your coffee collection.

I'm not a big coffee drinker but I wanted to try this coffee. The first time I brewed it, it didn't smell like anything special. I tried drinking it black to see, and it tasted like cleaning chemicals mixed with a brown water color. I added sugar and French vanilla creamer to it, and it brings out the "maple" that it talks about, but it's not the greatest coffee.

I bought this blend considering it was Holiday season and I wanted to try a distinctive flavor to go along with all the seasonal food. This one has a very unique aroma reminiscent of butter and freshly baked bread, this is most noticeable when the beans are being ground. On the cup, it has a very mellow and sweet flavor, medium body and an aftertaste that´s not too bitter or dry. I'd recommend this as a breakfast coffee or to go along with desserts, specially chocolate but also with anything buttery like a cinnamon roll or cookies. It definitely met my expectations as being a seasonal coffee without the boldness/spiciness of the regular Christmas blend.
