Buddy Valastro and his team build a life-size gingerbread house to compete against a life-size snow globe designed by Tony and Emmy Award-winning scenic designer David Gallo, his partner, Viveca Gardiner, and their team. This interactive Christmas challenge will be judged by comedian Jason Chatfield and lifestyle blogger Courtney Quinn.
Buddy Valastro and his team go up against famed glassblower Deborah Czeresko's team to make light-filled creations for judges Jason Chatfield and Courtney Quinn. Buddy's piece depicts a Christmas Eve accident that finds Santa tangled in holiday lights, and Deborah's work incorporates glass and neon into icicles, mistletoe and a mischievous glass mouse who's taken a bite out of Santa's cookie.
Four ice cream masters vie for just three spots in the finale. Host Molly Yeh welcomes Buddy Valastro and Duff Goldman to the tent, and the ice cream makers must create a flavor based on either Buddy or Duff and incorporate a cake chunk made from scratch. Judges Jet and Ali Tila choose the three competitors who make it into the finale.
