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.

Every year I buy the holiday blend I'm a decaf coffee drinker. And every year the coffee is good some years are better than others. But for some reason I haven't seen any decaf holiday blend so far this season. It would be a disappointment if they didn't have it this year.

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.

Excellent with egg nog in it, truly in the Holiday Spirit!

smells awful. tastes worse. The smell is that of a skunk .

I bought this along with some Christmas Blend but I like this Holiday Blend better. It' has just enough flavor without being too strong. Great change of pace for the holiday season. Gives "Blue" Christmas a new meaning...

This is wonderful for those who like strong coffee with a bold taste. To me it has a bit of a bitter aftertaste but I like a more mellow or bright citrus flavor. I would definitely recommend this to those who like a darker stouter coffee.

Very nice blend. Smells wonderful when brewing--I have some K-cups as well as whole bean and people make comments on the aroma in the cup. One of the most delicious blends--sweet and layered is a very good description.

I've had the Holiday Blend in the past and it's just plain delicious. I only wish it could be offered in decaf for those of us who can't have much caffeine. Please consider doing this, Starbucks!

I love the flavor of this coffee! It is smooth in my opinion and one of my favorite k cup Starbucks coffee flavors. I wish they sold it all year round!
