Rudy Giuliani’s Christmas Coffee Craze: Ho Ho Ho or Oh No No?
Find out if Rudy’s holiday brew is a festive hit or a major miss.
Rudy Giuliani has certainly kept things interesting in his post-mayoral life, and his latest marketing stunt is no exception. In a bizarre holiday-themed video, Rudy dressed as Santa Claus to promote his coffee brand, Rudy Coffee—and let’s just say, it’s hard to focus on the product when the antics are this wild.
In the clip, Rudy greets a woman sitting on his lap with a cheery “Ho, ho, ho! Merry Christmas!” He asks what she wants for Christmas, and she replies, “Rudy Coffee!” Rudy, still in character, looks delighted, as two men dressed as elves deliver coffee to the woman. It’s a cringeworthy scene that leaves viewers wondering if this is a Christmas special or a marketing nightmare.

Rudy, who’s facing hefty legal bills from defamation lawsuits, has turned to selling coffee to make ends meet. The coffee comes in three flavors: bold, decaf, and “morning coffee” – all priced at $29.99 for two pounds. Rudy’s pitch? By buying his coffee, you’re supporting “truth, justice, and American democracy.”
While some fans have supported the ad, calling it hilarious or heartfelt, others have raised eyebrows, with critics calling the whole thing a bizarre stunt. One thing’s for sure: Rudy’s coffee campaign is anything but traditional.
So, if you’re in the market for a cup of coffee with a side of awkwardness and controversy, Rudy Coffee might be just what you need. But for the rest of us, it’s another example of Rudy Giuliani’s unique brand of marketing—part coffee, part cringe.
