Holiday memories are special, and snow globes are the perfect way to capture them, so host Jesse Palmer challenges the teams to create holiday memory snow globe scenes in gingerbread.

Judges Nacho Aguirre, Kardea Brown and Breegan Jane pick the winning team.

The best part of shopping at the holidays is seeing all the window decorations.

Judges Nacho Aguirre, Kardea Brown and Breegan Jane decide which team earns the win.

Judges Nacho Aguirre, Kardea Brown and Breegan Jane decide which team wins the competition.
Host Carla Hall challenges three teams of bakers to decide what the holidays will look like in the future ... in gingerbread form!

When Santa's away, the elves get into all sorts of mischief back at the workshop! Host Carla Hall challenges the teams to conjure up their gingerbread versions of spicy elven mayhem and pair their chaotic creations with a dessert made with a spicy pepper.
