The judges are Duff Goldman, Nancy Fuller, and Lorraine Pascale. The Season 2 marathon includes the full eight episodes. They are “We’re Nuts for the Holidays, “Holiday Craftiness,” “Stuffing is the Best Part,” “Thanksgiving’s Just Around the Corner,” “Ginger and Spice and Everything Nice,” “World Class Classics,” “Re-Gifting” and “Holiday Hoopla.” The Season 3 premiere episode is “Signs of the Season.” Season 3 consists of seven episodes. The episodes are as follows: “Signs of the Season,” “Grandma’s Thanksgiving Favorites,” “Thanksgiving Joy,” “Heart and Home,” “Sweet Surprises,” “Christmas Morning,” and “Live From the North Pole.”

Holiday Baking Championship is a family friendly show that everyone can enjoy. Not only does the program get you into the holiday spirit but the official website includes plenty of recipes and tips for those embarking on their holiday cooking endeavors. Whether young or old, everyone can take the baking fun into their own kitchens and watch as they improve and develop their own holiday skills. The website has general holiday baking tips and recipes, but you’ll also find recipes specific to each episode. Here are some super easy recipes from the site and infographics for those making their own holiday classics this year, as well as a link to all recipes from the show.

The premiere episode “Signs of the Season” featured one recipe that is shared on the official site. Duff Goldman provides the recipes for Holiday Baking Championship Season 3. The featured recipe for the episode “Signs of Season” is Rompope-Filled Churros. The second episode will be “Grandmother’s Thanksgiving Favorites” and features the recipe Decorated Pumpkin Pie. The pumpkin pie is beautifully decorated and instead of a straight lattice design, features an intricately detailed pumpkin vine that swirls over the top of the pie. There is no question that any baker who masters this recipe will wow friends and family with their finished pies. The recipes are all free and the finished baked goods make wonderful holiday gifts.

There are three recipes included with the third episode “Thanksgiving Joy.” These recipes include Bacon Cornbread Cupcakes with Honey Butter, Stuffing Cupcakes and Spinach Cupcakes. The episode “Hearth and Home” features one recipe: S’mores Through the Roof.

“Sweet Surprises” includes the recipe Entremet Giftbox. This is a beautiful chocolate mousse and cookie enclosed in a gorgeous entremet box. You can save time and work buying an already made box, or you can make it yourself. There will be four contestants left in the “Christmas Morning” episode and there are two recipes featured. They are Pate-a-Choux Waffles and Pate-a-Choux Breakfast Sliders. The final episode is “Live From the North Pole” and during this episode, the $50,000 grand-prize winner will be revealed. There is one recipe from this episode and it is Yellow Cake with Swiss Buttercream.

The Food Network has several holiday-themed shows, but none have a comprehensive approach like Holiday Baking Championship. Cake Wars: Christmas focuses solely on cakes and Cupcake Wars is about cupcakes. With Holiday Baking Championship, contestants face a wide array of differing challenges.
