Three finalists create their biggest Ultimate Holiday Celebration scene; the competitor that wows the judges the most will win the grand prize and be featured in Food Network Magazine as the first Holiday Gingerbread Showdown Champion.

Holiday Gingerbread Showdown

Ultimate Holiday Celebration

Three bakers race to create their take on a gingerbread North Pole; the judges hand out some high praise and some cold critiques while trying to decide whose gingerbread masterpiece is good enough to give its creator a trip to the grand finale.

Santa's Most Incredible Workshop

Three bakers are challenged with creating a gingerbread scene inspired by the classic holiday movie "Elf"; host Marcela Valladolid throws a wrench in the works by challenging the bakers to create quick holiday treats for the judges to sample.

Bakers vie to create the definitive gingerbread showpiece; they receive a competition curveball mid-challenge that requires them to switch gears from assembling gingerbread to creating holiday treats to act as functional parts of their final pieces.
