In the season finale, the final three teams are squaring up in an epic showdown. It's nearing the time for the Scout Elves to head back to the North Pole to help Santa prepare for Christmas Eve. As they return home, they will fly over their favorite places on Earth, so host Duff Goldman challenges the sweetmakers to "elf-ify" a famous landmark in their honor. In the end, judges Kardea Brown and Ashley Holt crown their Ambassadors of Confectionery Concoctions and award them $25,000!
The Kitchen celebrates the season of lights with festive dishes for everyone. Jeff Mauro's Orange Glazed Cinnamon Rolls are the perfect holiday morning breakfast. Then, Geoffrey Zakarian makes his favorite Braised Lamb Shoulder, and Duff Goldman stops by to chat about his new show, "Elf on a Shelf: Sweet Showdown." Sunny Anderson's Easy Bean and Kale Stew is sure to keep you warm this winter, while Katie Lee Biegel's crispy, crunchy Vegetable Latke Bar is just the holiday fix you need. Finally, everyone come together to pass the Holiday Wreath Cake!
