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!"

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.

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.

Really disappointed in the 2020 version of this blend. It is marketed as a medium roast with herbal/maple notes. It is very dark and burnt tasting. I normally really enjoy the Holiday Blend, but something is really off this year. Would not buy again, would not recommend.

I find this Holiday blend to be the perfect balance from Starbucks - a good medium to dark blend. I always stock up with multiple boxes to get me through the year. Will be gone from most clubs by December so get it now - usually has a 6-8 month best before date.

If you work in healthcare or corporate you know how important coffee is. This blend is absolutely delicious. The first sip and I'm revived. It's like a B12 shot in a cup. CAN I HAVE AN UNLIMITED SUPPLY. This is my crack. It's strong and perfect. That is all

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.

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.

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.

This holiday season is the first time I have tried this coffee, and I am in love. It is so smooth, and goes so well with baked goods without overpowering flavors. I grind the beans just before every time I make a cup or two or more of coffee. On the average, I take 2-3 scoops of beans using a Starbucks measuring spoon, and using a burr grinder. Adding 2 1/3 cups of cold filtered wanter will do the rest in my coffeemaker. Love the smell...
