Holiday Baking Championship

Eight bakers have to prove their cookie baking skills in the first two challenges. The first challenge requires the bakers to use an assigned baking tool and the second challenge has the bakers using different holiday ingredients.

The seven remaining bakers take classic flavors to a new level; a swirled treat using eggnog; different versions of sugar and spice for a special dessert.

The six remaining bakers take on making pies; the first challenge has the bakers using a store-bought crust; the second challenge involves three different pies and three different crusts.

The five bakers left to compete take the fruitcake to a new level and reinvent the yule log.

The four bakers must use the classic holiday flavors of peppermint and hot chocolate in a dessert and then create a holiday breakfast complete with three sweet dishes.

The three remaining bakers face one challenge, but it's a massive one, constructing gingerbread worlds filled with all sorts of treats.
