A friend of mine served this at a Christmas dinner for dessert and it was love at first site. Though a bit expensive, it is wonderful all the same. Ione doesn't need to drink it only at Christmas. I urge anyone to serve it all year long; iced or piping hot.

My family looks so forward to tasting the santa's white christmas coffee. However last year we were unabel to find the coffee. This year the we did and received the shipment in plenty of time to enjoy throughout the month and even into the new year. Thanks

This is a must have coffee for Christmas time. It is the perfect nutty/coconut blend, the taste is indescribably delicious.

I purchased this item as a fathers day gift my dad loves it! He said it also complements the new coffee pot I got him as well. My mother who is not even a coffee drinker really enjoys the flavor as well. Great for year round enjoyment not just at Christmas time.

I used to love Santa's White Christmas but it is not as good as it use to be not sure if they changed or me!!!

The coffee was very good. I gave it to my coworker as a gift within a week she said it was gone.
Very tasteful.

Thanks

My mom's friend gave this to me after I tried hers and loved it. I absolutely love this coffee! The flavor and roast are incredible! I just can't say enough about how much I like it... I just hope I can get it year-round! It is on the pricier side, but I like to save mine for a treat, and not for every day, just to make it last longer. I love it with the coffee mate sugar free hazelnut creamer.

I usually pick up 2 bags of this coffee around Thanksgiving and ration it out through New Year's.

Caramel, vanilla and coconut... do I need to say more? Great flavors and taste that are special. Definitely not a coffee I would drink everyday but this time of the year wouldn't be the same without it.

I received a bag of Barnie's Santa's White Christmas ground coffee as a stocking stuffer this Christmas and am sipping my first cup as I write this. The flavor combination seems overdone -- "coconut, nuts, sweet caramel, and vanilla." Really? Okay, it's impossible for my taste buds to decompose the flavor concoction to discern any one of those flavor components.

What my eyes did notice on the ingredient label, however, was sugar. The second ingredient of this product (which granted, could be anywhere from, say, 3% all the way to 49%) is sugar. Given that I take my coffee black unless I'm drinking crappy stuff at IHOP or Denny's, and always unsweetened, I did a double-take at the ingredients list. But the sugar doesn't rise above the flavor concoction, which probably means the percentage is closer to 3% than 49%.

This coffee is not substantially different from most flavored coffees, meaning the actual coffee itself seems to not be especially high quality and roasted mild so the added flavor will come through. Unfortunately, I'm a COFFEE guy, meaning I like my coffee to taste like COFFEE. I'm trying not to let that stand in the way of giving as objective a review as possible -- I understand that flavored coffee is intended to taste more like the flavor and less like the coffee -- but I can't entirely get past a mediocre coffee and roast. I can't really rate this any better than a Folger's Gourmet or Millstone flavored coffee. 100% Arabica means very, very little in the coffee market anymore these days.

My conclusion is that, as with pretty much all flavored coffee, it's not really intended to be served/taken black. You've gotta add at least a little cream or milk, and then you can probably slam it down. But you might want to give it a taste test before adding too much sugar.

One of my friends introduced me to this coffee in bean form, and I fell in love with it.
