Christmas Cookie Challenge (2017)

Episode Overview

Santa and Mrs. Claus are soaking up the holiday spirit on a beach getaway, where cheerful mermaids and stocking-filling sharks bring festive cheer. Hosts Ree Drummond and Eddie Jackson challenge four talented cookie bakers to showcase how ocean creatures celebrate the holidays. The cookie maker who struggles will be eliminated, while one will gain a special advantage for the next round. The fun continues as the bakers construct 3D Christmas sandcastles using crushed cookie "sand." To add a tropical twist, they'll incorporate ingredients like papaya, mango, coconut, or guava. The baker who creates the most delightful sandcastle will take home $10,000 and the coveted Golden Ornament.
