Every year, people go crazy for the annual release of Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes. Social media is flooded with pictures of people dropping to their knees in front of in-store displays, pushing shelves full of boxes into shopping carts, and ripping open the crinkle plastic wrapper and enjoying their first tree of the season. There are recipes and merch.
Some may argue that these delectable little sugar trees taste like any other Little Debbie item. Others would beat people with an actual Christmas tree for speaking such blasphemy. No matter where you fall on that spectrum, these little cakes are popular during the holiday season. This year, Coffee Mate is back with their coffee creamer version of this treat, hoping to cash in on some of that holiday magic. Does this creamer live up to the hype? Let’s see…
We’re big coffee drinkers here at the Hyperbole Free Global HQ. We enjoy all kinds of brands and roasts and usually enjoy it black, but we are certainly not opposed to adding a little flavor and sometimes a lot of cream and sugar to our daily cup of joe. We also don’t particularly go crazy for the Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes, but perhaps we’ll give them another go this year.
Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes Coffee Creamer is as white as the driven snow and has a viscosity a little thicker than whole milk. The aroma when first opening the bottle is of joy, Christmas, and, I guess, vanilla. Enticing.
I added about two spoonfuls of the sweet stuff into a cup of Dark Roast coffee from Death Wish Coffee. It turned the black-as-night coffee into a murky brown, but released a sweet, gentle aroma that reminded me of Christmas. Overall, Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes Coffee Creamer does not taste too dissimilar from a sweet cream coffee creamer. It’s thick, rich, and sweet and does a fair job of cutting through the rich bitterness of the dark roast coffee.
If you’re a fan of Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes and enjoy sweetening your coffee, this product is probably for you. Also, fans of Coffee Mate’s Italian Sweet Cream would probably enjoy switching to this for the holidays. I also imagine fans of the Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes may enjoy ripping open one of those tasty cakes and dipping it directly into coffee flavored with this coffee creamer. Maybe we’ll do so in an upcoming post. Three Bars.
