From quiet mornings to festive gatherings, two seasonal coffees add flavor to the moments that make the holidays special
LOS ANGELES, Oct. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Don Francisco’s® Coffee, the flagship premium brand of Gaviña Coffee Company, today announced its 2026 Holiday Collection, featuring the limited-time Maple Pecan and Holiday Blend coffees.
Beginning in October, Maple Pecan and Holiday Blend will be available at donfranciscos.com and select grocery retailers in 12-ounce ground coffee bags and 12-count single-serve coffee pods compatible with Keurig® brewers. The collection will also be available on Amazon in 20-ounce bags and 24-count single-serve pods. Availability and formats may vary by retailer.
Both coffees are made with 100% Arabica beans. Don Francisco’s Maple Pecan is a smooth, medium roast that combines sweet maple and toasted pecans with smooth caramel undertones for a cozy, indulgent cup. Don Francisco’s Holiday Blend is a warm, festive medium-dark roast with a nutty aroma, creamy chocolate notes, and a delicate caramelized finish.
“The moments we cherish most often begin with the small, thoughtful things we do for one another,” said Lisette Gaviña Lopez, fourth-generation coffee roaster at Gaviña Coffee Company. “A welcoming cup of coffee, a favorite family recipe, or a handmade touch can make an everyday moment feel special. We hope this collection inspires people to make the season their own and create beautiful memories along the way.”
To offer more ways to enjoy the collection, Don Francisco’s Coffee has created two holiday recipes, one featuring Maple Pecan and the other Holiday Blend. From a creamy iced coffee topped with salted maple foam and toasted pecans to a festive coffee cocktail finished with nutmeg, the recipes offer flavorful options for holiday brunches, entertaining, and after-dinner gatherings.
