The Seattle's Best Coffee x XO Marshmallow Coffee Roast Mallows have been created as a limited-edition product created in collaboration between the brands that's sure to catch attention this summer.
The marshmallows are being launched as part of a variety pack with four coffee roast-inspired flavors as the inspiration including Light Roast, Medium Roast, Dark Roast and S'mores. The variety pack also comes with a bag of Seattle's Best Coffee Campfire S'mores Flavored Ground Coffee. Priced at $20, the variety pack will be offered through four online launches taking place on July 17, 24 and 31, and August 7 at 12pm.
