Christmas Cookie Challenge (2017)

Episode Overview

Each year, the magic of the holiday season shines brightly as Christmas markets spring up across the globe. Hosts Ree Drummond and Eddie Jackson invite four talented gingerbread artisans to construct impressive North Pole market scenes entirely from gingerbread. Their creations will feature delightful edible elements like ice-skating rinks, snowball slides, hot cocoa stalls, and sugary angels. Midway through, a surprise twist awaits as they must choose one festive fruit from a cart—apples, pears, blackberries, or blood oranges—to integrate into their designs. The gingerbreader who builds the most enchanting market will win $10,000 and the coveted Golden Ornament.
