Holiday Baking Championship

S11E01 Holiday Open House

To start the festivities, host Jesse Palmer embraces the tradition of whipping up delightful treats for loved ones during a holiday open house. In the preheat challenge, he tasks the 12 bakers with crafting festive cheese ball desserts that incorporate a specific cheese along with nuts or dried fruit. Next, the focus shifts to host gifts, prompting the bakers to design creative and oversized holiday bark-inspired desserts to wow judges Carla Hall, Duff Goldman, and Nancy Fuller.
