Matt Roush says...

‘Tis the season. For the 12th year, a dozen skilled bakers undertake challenges to bake holiday-themed treats, with the winner receiving $25,000 and a feature in the channel’s magazine. In the premiere, host Jesse Palmer splits the group into two teams, one “Nice” and the other “Naughty,” with a member of each week’s losing team in danger of being sent home. The first preheat challenge finds the Nice team making warm and toasty desserts while the Naughty bakers deliver frosty treats. The elimination challenge involves creating an edible holiday village with a dessert from each baker. Duff Goldman, Nancy Fuller, and Kardea Brown are the judges.
