Default Jones Xmas Sodas at Target

Found all 3. 1 is rerelease and 2 are new. The 2 new ones are Pear Tree and Mele Kalimakliki (sp?). Anyway, Pear Tree tastes like pears and Mali whatever (Christmas in Hawaiian) tastes like a Pina Colada. Definately try them!

It's obvious that the financial issues over at Jones have effected their usually over-the-top holiday collections. I mean, talk about downsizing. No special Christmas Pack this year, or even a secondary pack. (You can buy last year's Chanukah Pack online, however). No Turkey & Gravy or Christmas Ham. As ScottyLibido noted, all Jones rolled out this season is three 4-Pack flavors at Target.

I was able to pick these up and gave them the "review and a tree photo" treatment


Candy Cane is a rerun from last year, tastes the same with the cane sugar sweetener. It's still much better than when it first appeared '06 with HFCS, however, it's still too minty/mouthwashy for my tastes.

Pear Tree had potential, but I found it to be lacking in actual flavor. It was subtle and bubbly, but could have used far more of a pear taste. Not bad, but underperforming.

Mele Kalikimaka is the standout when it comes to a non-alcoholic piņa colada clone. Nice use of coconut and pineapple flavorings. Scent is attractive, aftertaste was clean. Overall, a solid entry and probably the flavor to seek out in this year's Jones holiday offerings.
