Starbucks® Thanksgiving Blend

Starbucks Thanksgiving Blend is an expression of gratitude to the world’s most distinctive coffee regions. Beans from Sumatra in Indonesia, Sidama in Ethiopia, and the Antigua region of Guatemala are expertly blended and richly roasted to create a cup that’s delicately sweet. Elegantly flavorful and aromatic, this blend features notes of candied pecan, sage and dried fig.    

Starbucks Thanksgiving Blend will be the featured dark roast brewed coffee the week of Thanksgiving at participating stores in the U.S. It will also be available for purchase as whole bean throughout the holiday season while supplies last.

Starbucks® Christmas Blend  

Starbucks Christmas Blend returns as one of Starbucks most anticipated seasonal coffee blends. Introduced in 1984, when Starbucks only sold whole bean coffee, tea and spices, Christmas Blend quickly became a customer favorite as it showcased Starbucks artistry in roasting and blending with an expert combination of Latin American beans and mellow Indonesian coffees. The finishing touch was the addition of rare, spicy Sumatra beans that were aged for three to five years for a full-bodied, spicy and rich cup of coffee. This holiday season, pair Christmas Blend with the new Dark Toffee Bundt.  

Christmas Blend is also available in blonde roast, highlighting a lighter expression of Starbucks traditional roast with beans from Indonesia for herbal, maple-like sweetness and add washed and sun-dried coffees from East Africa for a burst of spiced citrus and fig notes. The coffee is lightly roasted to bring out woodsy aromas and a smooth flavor with just the right amount of seasonal spice.   Enjoy it alongside a Sugar Plum Cheese Danish for a merry holiday moment.  

Throughout most of the season, Starbucks Christmas Blend and Starbucks Christmas Blend Blonde are the featured dark and light roast brewed coffee choices in participating stores. Starbucks Christmas Blend is available for purchase as whole bean while supplies last.

Starbucks® Holiday Blend

Starbucks Holiday Blend is a balanced, sweet, and toasty blend of bright Latin American beans and rich Sumatran coffee. Specially roasted to highlight the complexity of flavors, this full-bodied, vibrant blend unfolds with layered notes of sweet maple and herbs.  To celebrate the holidays, this comforting coffee is a balanced medium roast with sweet, layered flavors that come through in the cup.  The coffee blend pairs perfectly with a tray of Cranberry Bliss Bars.  

Starbucks Holiday Blend is available for purchase as whole bean coffee in participating Starbucks stores throughout the holiday season while supplies last.
