Season 1

Holiday memories are special, and snow globes are the perfect way to capture them, so host Jesse Palmer challenges the teams to create holiday memory snow globe scenes in gingerbread. And because a snow globe is nothing without snow, they must also make a treat using the most common baking ingredient to represent snow -- coconut! Judges Nacho Aguirre, Kardea Brown and Breegan Jane pick the winning team.

The Abominable Snowman comes out of hiding to startle the gingerbread teams and inspire their challenge theme -- A Monster Christmas. Monsters love an oozy dessert, so host Jesse Palmer challenges the teams to make an oozing caramel dessert to go with their display. Judges Nacho Aguirre, Kardea Brown and Breegan Jane choose the winner.

The holidays cue jaw-dropping light shows in neighborhoods around the world. Why shouldn't a gingerbread build be equally dazzling? Host Jesse Palmer challenges the baking teams to create a holiday light show out of gingerbread and pair their glittering creations with the lightest of all desserts, choux pastry. Judges Nacho Aguirre, Kardea Brown and Breegan Jane choose the winning team.

The best part of shopping at the holidays is seeing all the window decorations. Host Jesse Palmer tasks the baking teams with turning their favorite holiday window scene into a gingerbread display with an animated element. Many fine stores offer champagne to their shoppers during the holidays, so teams must also create a champagne dessert to go with their display. Judges Nacho Aguirre, Kardea Brown and Breegan Jane decide which team earns the win.

Which magical creatures love a good holiday party? Gnomes! Host Jesse Palmer challenges three teams of bakers to create a gingerbread scene depicting gnomes hangin' for the holidays. To make these Scandinavian friends feel more at home, the teams also have to create a cardamom dessert to go with their scene. Judges Nacho Aguirre, Kardea Brown and Breegan Jane decide which team wins the competition.
