Ree Drummond and Eddie Jackson host a opening night in the Christmas cookie playhouse, where four gingerbread masters craft cookie stick puppets. One puppet master receives an advantage in the next round, another baker is sent into the wings.
The hosts welcome back cookie makers who came up just short of winning their first time around. They will decorate cookies that call back to forgotten Christmas traditions and characters using a classic cookie that is hard to master, snickerdoodle.
The hosts welcome back eight former `Christmas Cookie Challenge' champions into the workshop to prove who is the best of the best. This time, the cookie makers are facing challenges so merrily massive, they will be put into teams of two.
Inspired by Warner Bros.' Christmas movie "Elf," four cookiemakers create cookies that show Buddy's magical journey, and then cobble together 3D pop-up cookie books with their favourite movie scene.
Ree Drummond and Eddie Jackson ask four far-out bakers to decorate cookies that reveal what Christmas is like on other planets. After this mission is completed, one cookie maker with the best designs will receive an astronomical advantage.
The hosts challenge four festive cookie makers to create two-sided Christmas postcards. The cookie maker who best pushes the envelope will win an advantage for the next round. The remaining cookie makers craft 360-degree Christmas camper vans.
