Returning Champs (2021)
Five former Christmas Cookie Challenge champions return to the workshop for another round of competition, and hosts Ree Drummond and Eddie Jackson have devised their toughest cookie tasks for the occasion. First, the cookie makers have to create an entire Christmas village puzzle out of six perfectly interlocking cookies. Then they craft the tallest cookie displays ever seen, making massive Christmas mantels complete with realistic fireplaces. The heat is on as they infuse their cookies with warm spices like coriander, cloves, chile powder and paprika, but only one champion will win for the second time and claim the "Best of the Best" title.
Self-Portraits (2021)
Five fantastic cookie makers recreate the feel of a cup of hot cocoa on a frosty Christmas morn by crafting holiday mugs out of cookies! Then, hosts Ree Drummond and Eddie Jackson turn the workshop into a merry art museum as they ask the cookiers to create cookie self-portraits. To give their artwork an extra splash of color, they have to incorporate vibrant ingredients like beets, butterfly pea tea or saffron. One cookie Caravaggio earns some serious "Monet" -- the $10,000 prize!
Christmas Cookie Games (2021)
It's all fun and games in the workshop as five of the most-talented cookie makers around play a game of Christmas opposites by flipping the cookie script on classic Christmas designs. Then the games continue as hosts Ree Drummond and Eddie Jackson ask for edible 3-D board games that they can actually play ... and then eat! Holiday cocktails go perfect with game night, so the bakers must incorporate boozy flavors into their cookies, too. One cookie gamer leaves with the ultimate party favor -- $10,000!
A Very Retro Christmas (2021)
Hosts Ree Drummond and Eddie Jackson are feeling nostalgic as five top cookie makers create Christmas cookies that reflect decades past. Then, the merry trip down memory lane continues as the cookiers craft 3-D edible snow globes with 360-degree shine. They draw flavor inspiration from globe-shaped ingredients like blood oranges, golden berries and grapes, and the most-dazzling dome earns one competitor the $10,000 prize!
Christmas Chandeliers (2021)
Hosts Ree Drummond and Eddie Jackson are shaking things up in the Christmas cookie workshop as they ask five talented cookie makers to take on the fault line dessert trend and create cookies decorated to reveal surprises beneath the icing. Then the competitors must defy gravity by building giant, hanging cookie chandeliers worthy of the finest Christmas dinner table. Their cookie flavors must be reminiscent of classic holiday candles like apple cider, mulled wine or peppermint, and one lucky cookie maker will be dancing on the ceiling with the $10,000 prize.
