Starbucks has a nice array of spices selected for their Christmas Blend. The taste isn't overwhelming, but it is noticeable. It is one of the more drinkable coffee blends even for those who do not particularly like coffee. I find myself getting this quite a bit during the holiday season.

I'm a relatively new coffee drinker, and typically add a lot of sugar and milk. But with the Starbuck's Christmas coffee, it's very balanced and smooth, so I add less. It's a good boost, without being over-caffeinated and causing a jittery feeling. I'm going to miss it when it's gone this year.

This coffee is great. I get it every holiday season when it comes out. I look forward to it's arrival every year and try to stock up so the joy can last even longer. I am drinking a cup of it right now. It has a spicy and sweet flavor and does not leave a bad aftertaste. I am not usually a fan of blends but this is the one exception to the rule. It is a good blend of flavors and beans. Even if you are not a fan of blends you should try this one. I would recommend this to anyone that likes a good cup of coffee. It is even better now that it is available in K cups. I buy some to take with me to my mother in law's house so that I can have good coffee when visiting her home. It also comes in VIA so you can have a good cup of coffee anywhere you can get hot water. This makes it even easier to enjoy this coffee every year. It makes a good teacher gift with a mug or travel mug every year as well. It would make a great gift for any coffee lover on your gift list in fact.

This coffee is delicious. It has a great taste, and is always enjoyable. I usually prefer some type of flavor in my coffee, but with this I can take it with normal half and half and a few packets of sweetner. Exactly what you would want in this time of year. I look forward to it every year.

I've just read the seven prior reviews, and mine would have been similarly effusive - if I'd written it twelve months ago. This year's Christmas Blend is a shadow of its former self, and I suspect that's because they skimped on the aged Sumatra this year. It's a pity. I was very much looking forward to a couple of months of sublime coffee enjoyment.

I absolutely LOVE this coffee. However i normally can drink a pot of coffee and go straight to bed! (Thanks to my ADHD) When i drank this coffee i was able to go to sleep BUT I had horrible nightmares!! I finally figured it out after 4 days and went back to my First love Starbucks Espresso and no more nightmares. So.... Now it's just a morning time Coffee but LOVE it!

Starbucks annual holiday blends are bold and spicy enough to hold their own against the heaviest traditional meal, and the Christmas blend is no different in that regard. The Christmas blend is almost as dark as the Italian Roast, and bolder than the Sumatra. You can spike it with rum to your heart's content, and you will still be able to taste coffee in there. This is not actually my favorite Christmas blend for first thing in the morning, but for parties and get-togethers it's outstanding.

I generally love starbucks, and wait for this time of year for the Christmas blend.  Not as strong as Peets holiday blend, so makes a better gift for the general coffee lover.  Also packaged as holiday blend, for friends and coworkers who do not celebrate Christmas

I absolutely love this product of coffee. Not only is it delicious, but it really wakes me up every morning and helps jump start my day. Without this Starbucks Christmas Blend, i would be a hopeless case throughout the holidays. I am one of those "crazy early shoppers" who wakes up at ridiculous hours in the morning so as to catch the "perfect" sale. Luckily for me, a Starbucks awaits my tired eyes, located almost around every corner in Tulsa. I could never be more grateful for this Holiday blend and i would recommend this product to anyone out there with sleepy eyes and a long busy holiday list.

I tried this the other night at our PTG meeting.  I loved the flavor, it was very bold and good.  My only complaint is that since it is so bold it took a little more sugar than I would have liked to add.  Starbucks really knows coffee and I appreciate that.  The only thing I would like to see is a price reduction.  There are stores popping up all over my area and that is a good thing.
