For the first time ever, the 12 competing bakers are split into teams of Naughty vs. Nice as host Jesse Palmer welcomes them to an adorable, immersive holiday village with a working coffee shop, general store, and town hall. In this joyful world, the teams take on tasks like Snow Day Desserts, Chrismukkah Platters, and of course, Naughty Elf Desserts -- complete with advantages that lean either mischievous or merry! Judges Duff Goldman, Nancy Fuller, and Kardea Brown bring the tough love as they determine which amazing baker will earn the title of Holiday Baking Champion, a feature in Food Network magazine, and the grand prize of $25,000.
