Don Francisco's Coffee is expanding its seasonal lineup with a '2026 Holiday Collection' built around 'Maple Pecan' and 'Holiday Blend.' The two limited-time coffees are crafted for those who want a festive cup at home, whether brewing a mug for a quiet morning or pouring a pot for a gathering.
Both coffees use 100% Arabica beans, providing a familiar coffee-shop base before the holiday flavors take center stage. Maple Pecan leans into sweet maple and toasted pecans with caramel notes, while Holiday Blend brings a nutty aroma, chocolate, and a caramelized finish.
The collection comes in 12-ounce ground bags and 12-count single-serve pods compatible with Keurig brewers. Shoppers can also find it on Amazon in 20-ounce bags and 24-count pods, with availability starting in October.
