## Synopsis

Holiday Baking Championship (2014-present) is an American reality baking competition series created for Food Network. Hosted by Bobby Deen and Jesse Palmer, the show follows amateur bakers who arrive in the kitchen eager to share their family traditions and superb baking skills. Week after week they face themed challenges where a single misstep can send them home, and the rotating panel of judges, including Duff Goldman, Nancy Fuller, Lorraine Pascale, Carla Hall, Kardea Brown and Molly Yeh, delivers tough but encouraging critiques. Each episode is built around the pressure of a timed bake and the drama of elimination, while the seasons, now twelve and still running, follow the same structure of contestants competing for the crown of the greatest holiday baker. The atmosphere is cheerful, cozy and festive, with a warm focus on heirloom recipes, seasonal desserts and the holiday spirit. Fans of The Great British Baking Show and Cupcake Wars will find the same mix of kitchen nerves, friendly rivalry and sweet rewards in this family friendly, feel good competition.
