A new year can bring a bevy of food resolutions. While people might be changing their eating and drinking habits, one element remains consistent. People crave bingeable food television competitions. From season finale’s of favorite shows to new seasons beginning, 2025 gets a flavorful start.
Whether it is Bravo, Food Network, or FOX, uber popular food television competitions are back on the schedule. For viewers, each episode is more than just determining the best dish, or the most chaotic failure. Even without a detailed recipe accompanying the credits, viewers can learn a trick or two along the way.
For example, Worst Cooks in America always makes home cooks feel better about their cooking techniques. Even if that holiday dinner was more burnt than expertly charred, the disasters on this Food Network classic show are far more terrible than anyone can imagine.
Premiering on Sunday, January 5, Worst Cooks in America: Celebrity Edition Heroes vs Villains looks to amplify the culinary fears. With Antonia Lofaso and Jeff Mauro helping to transform these culinary disasters, the hope is that the laughter will add some extra seasoning when the dishes go sideways.
For a more lighthearted option, Kids Baking Championship walks on the wild side with its newest season. Duff Goldman and Kardea Brown look to wrangle 12 kid bakers in the Food Network kitchen.
This season focuses on Amazing Animals. While there is an old saying about working with kids and animals, this food television show is a lighthearted adventure for all ages. Everyone can find something sweet to savor starting on Monday, January 6.
While the kids offer some baking sweetness, Gordon Ramsay looks to transform the big queasy before Super Bowl LIX comes to town. Premiering on January 7, Kitchen Nightmares: Road to Super Bowl LIX has viewers captivated by the huge transformations.
Although some moments might have people avoiding dinner while watching the episodes, the happy endings are uplifting. Gordon Ramsay has a stern hand, but it is necessary. It is time to right the restaurants, but no one said that it would be easy.
While Gordon Ramsay is strolling down Bourbon Street, Guy Fieri and family are hitting the open seasons. Premiering on January 31, Guy’s Ultimate Family Cruise takes everyone on board the Carnival Mardi Gras. As they journey from port to port, the flavor adventure is a new stop in Flavortown.
This particular Food Network show seems to follow the concept of interweaving food and travel in food television. Top Chef used its partnership with Holland America to showcase that idea in the Season 21 finale. Food Network has numerous opportunities to highlight this concept with its various chefs.
Given that food television influences people’s cooking habits, purchases, and vacation choices, these types of shows could be the new trend for 2025. Shop the episode will take on a whole new meaning.
Next Level Chef returns on February 14. While everyone will have to wait to see the next group of home cooks, social media cooks, and professional chefs in the mix, this FOX food television competition has become a huge success. It proves that culinary creativity does not require a degree, title, or experience.
These food television shows join Hell’s Kitchen, which will crown a winner this Spring. With the Black Jacket episode and finale on the horizon, it is another example that will have people booking at stay at Foxwoods Casino and Resort.
Lastly, Top Chef Season 22 will be coming to Bravo in 2025. Although the exact premiere date has yet to be announced, the season is heading to Canada, as seen in a previous social media post. Hopefully, the iconic food television show highlights the country’s culinary diversity.
