Holiday Gingerbread Showdown Season 1 episode 3 preview

Holiday Gingerbread Showdown Season 1 is back with another epic gingerbread scene. Which baker will impress the judges and make the finale?

Holiday Gingerbread Showdown Season 1 episode 3 is bringing the sweetness to this particular episode. While last week’s episode featured naughty and nice scenes, this week’s challenge is quite different. Will the bakers find a Buddy in the kitchen or will they be put on Santa’s naughty list?

According to Food Network, Holiday Gingerbread Showdown Season 1 episode 3 will feature the following:

"Three bakers are challenged with creating a gingerbread scene inspired by the classic holiday movie “Elf.” Host Marcela Valladolid throws a wrench in the works by challenging the bakers to create quick holiday treats for the judges to sample. The contestants scramble to serve up Elf-inspired goodies but it’s not all gumdrops and candy canes when the clock is counting down and their dreams of winning $25,000 begin to crumble. The contestant that keeps their spirits high during this sweet cinematic challenge will secure a spot in the finale!"

The movie “Elf” is a favorite holiday movie. While most people don’t syrup on all their food, these gingerbread houses should be a confectionary delight. The movie has so many iconic scenes. It will be curious to see how each baker approaches the challenge.

One item is quite curious in the synopsis. There is a statement about crumble. Could one of this week’s gingerbread displays fall apart? While these catastrophes are always disappointing, there is a little moment of “schadenfreude” when disaster strikes.

Looking back at the first episode, these bakers need to be on point. Judge Kerry Vincent doesn’t hold back on the criticism. While she praises the innovation and precision, she is quick to point out the faults. No one should have an inedible garnish in this gingerbread display.

Which baker will earn a spot in the finale? You will have to watch Holiday Gingerbread Showdown Season 1 episode 3 to find out. Here’s how.
