Holiday Baking Championship

Nine bakers must create eye-catching and tantalising holiday treats for seasonal parties. They then use a holiday cocktail as sweet inspiration.

Eight bakers team up to make a dozen hand pies in a festive holiday shape. Then they create a dessert duo inspired by classic holiday flavour combinations.

The seven remaining bakers must create a Thanksgiving dessert using a mystery canned fruit. Then they make a new dish by combining two traditional desserts.

The six remaining bakers create new takes on traditional holiday baking. Inspired by an internet baking meme, they use yellow cake mix to make anything but cake.

The five remaining bakers ignite the holiday spirit with a fiery dessert. Then they take a traditional holiday cheese board and turn it into an unusual cheesecake.

The bakers celebrate two classic holiday traditions with a twist: Hanukkah jelly doughnuts with a challenging flavour combination and a revamped fruitcake.

The final three bakers grab two last-minute holiday gifts and combine them into one impressive dessert before creating a 12 Days of Christmas dessert.
