Wonderful, full taste and exceptionally smooth. Excellent in the AM or at the close of a festive dinner. Would give as a gift but am afraid I wouldn't share!

If you like medium roast, maybe you might find this ok. I find it too weak/mild. I wish they would have kept making Christmas blend pods - now those were a treat!

I really don't understand why so many get excited about this coffee. It's very mild, so much so that it has little taste. One can find comparable coffee many llaces. I'll not be buying again.

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!

This is some of the best coffee I've had in a while! The maple notes come through the coffee, which I love. Definitely is a great cold-day cup of coffee! Highly recommend this.

My only suggestion is that this coffee be offered year-round and not just as a holiday blend. You can call it something else the rest of the year: "exquisite blend"

Half pound package of "Holiday Blend" great for gifts for friends & relatives who do not celebrate "Christmas" thanks for offering the smaller size this year!

I thought the flavor on this particular roast was very, very good. Strong but not bitter. As close to an espresso taste without being an espresso. Dark, strong, bold, and smooth.

Definitely different than Christmas blend. This coffee has a rich bouquet that is both sweet as it is hearty. It finishes with a touch of chocolate. I recommend it.

I'd gotten over the mystique of Starbucks until I discovered this holiday coffee. Honestly folks, you're missing a great opportunity here. It's a terrific blend. I'd buy this year round. Now I'll have to go elsewhere in search of something similar.
