Holiday Is Back: Holiday 2026 Capsules and Holiday Spice Syrup Return
Holiday cold coffee season is officially here. Holiday 2026, our seasonal blend of Tanzania, Guatemala, and Sumatra, returns in a 10-pack of capsules, and Holiday Spice Syrup is back right beside it. Both are made to be enjoyed cold, and both are here for a limited run, only while holiday stock lasts.
If you've been waiting, you're not alone. Every season the reviews say some version of the same thing: "Please make this a permanent part of the lineup." We can't promise forever, but we can promise it's back for this holiday season.
Holiday flavor, always cold
Most seasonal coffees are designed for a hot mug. Cumulus has always been cold, and the holidays are no exception. Holiday 2026 was built to taste like the season over ice, through a nitro pour, or as a chilled shot of espresso, all from the Cumulus machine on your counter.

Holiday 2026 tasting notes, on every brew setting
Holiday 2026 brings together coffees from Tanzania, Guatemala, and Sumatra in a medium-bodied cup that balances bright fruit, nutty sweetness, and warm spice.
Tasting notes: caramelized fruit, praline, warm brown sugar, toffee, cedar spice.
Caramelized fruit and praline sit at the center, while brown sugar, toffee, and cedar ground the finish. It drinks rich and celebratory without tasting sweet. One longtime fan described it best: not sweet, but somehow it feels like dessert.
What does Holiday Spice Syrup taste like?
Holiday Spice Syrup is made from cane sugar and piloncillo, an unrefined cane sugar with deep, molasses-like warmth. It's layered with cinnamon, vanilla, nutmeg, and allspice, then finished with a touch of sea salt to keep the sweetness in balance.
The result tastes warm and nostalgic, like a spiced holiday cookie. And it shines cold, which surprises a lot of people. As one customer put it, they never expected these flavors to be this good over ice.
What Holiday Spice Syrup pairs with:
- Holiday 2026, especially on the nitro setting
- Any Cumulus capsule, as an everyday cold brew upgrade
- Iced lattes with whole milk or oat milk
- Espresso martinis and other holiday cocktails
- Vanilla ice cream and a chilled espresso shot, for a holiday affogato
Why is the Holiday collection a limited run?
Holiday 2026 is made for the season, not the whole year. We produce one holiday run of capsules and syrup, and when it sells through, it's gone until next winter.
That's part of what makes it worth looking forward to. It's also why the people still brewing it in January are usually the ones who stocked up early.
Make this first: Holiday Spiced Iced Latte
The first drink to make with both: Holiday 2026 brewed as chilled espresso over milk and Holiday Spice Syrup, then finished with ice. The blend's brown sugar and toffee meet the syrup's piloncillo and cinnamon, and the milk rounds it all into a cozy, dessert-like latte.

Give it, host with it
The Holiday 2026 10-pack and Holiday Spice Syrup make an easy pair for stocking stuffers, host gifts, and the coffee lover who orders iced in December.
Once it's gone, it's gone until next year.
