Hello friends! The best time of year is upon us!
I felt it would be beneficial to get all of the holiday details in one place for easy reference, since we have so many new friends in Normal Nation. 2020 has been a wild ride, and we're so thankful for your support this year!
Holiday Blend
GUYS. It's so good. Every year we develop a holiday blend that helps to celebrate the season and give part of the proceeds to an organization we love. This year's holiday blend, Merry & Bright, gives us some serious kid on Christmas day vibes, and we're so excited that it's out in the wild already to enjoy all season long!
Many people choose to live in small communities because of the amazing quality of life. Kids can walk home from school, play basketball at the park, and great jobs are available for parents. One struggle, though, is the availability of childcare. Communities for Kids is a Nebraska non-profit helping communities build childcare centers. Part of the proceeds from this holiday blend will go towards Burwell's future center, Sandhills First Steps.
The flavor notes are chocolate, baking spice, and citrus, and it pairs amazingly with a chocolate raspberry scone in the Coffee Lab.
Holiday Hours
We will update here if things change, but so far we are planning on being closed Thanksgiving, but open the rest of the weekend, and closed Christmas Eve and Christmas, and open regular hours (Monday-Saturday 7am-2pm) other than that. Our sweet barista Morgan will be home from college, so stop by in December and say hey!
Open House
Our 2020 holiday open house is scheduled for December 5th 10am-noon. We will have free drip coffee and cocoa samples, a baked goods bar, giveaways, and sale items. Abigail's Cookies and Cakes will also be joining us with cookies for sale! It will be a fantastic time, so please plan on joining us.
Online Ordering/Shipping
The last day to order for delivery for Thanksgiving is Wednesday, November 18th by 8am. The last day to order for delivery for Christmas is Wednesday, December 16th. We recommend waiting until December to order Christmas gifts so that the coffee is fresh. If you need a large order, such as for corporate gifts, you can email us directly at hello@normalroasting.company to set up bulk ordering before December 1st.
Specials
I will update this section as they come up, but we plan to have a merch box with special pricing, stocking stuffer coffee like last year, and a holiday blend/Cup of Coa gift box. We're also crafting the perfect coffee gift guide for you, so stay tuned! What else would you like to see from us this year?
