Ep 3. Thanksgiving Joy

It's all things Thanksgiving on this episode of Holiday Baking Championship. Host Jesse Palmer is joined by guest judge Amanda Freitag to taste the creations of the remaining contestants as they compete for the grand prize of $25,000 and the title of Holiday Baking Champion.

The episode kicks off with a preheat challenge that challenges the bakers to create individual desserts that capture the flavors and essence of Thanksgiving dinner. From cranberry sauce to pumpkin pie, the bakers have to get creative to capture all the elements of the traditional Thanksgiving meal in a single dessert. As always, time is of the essence, and the bakers must push themselves to complete their desserts within the tight time constraints.

Once the preheat challenge is finished, the bakers move on to the main heat of the competition, which challenges them to create a Thanksgiving dessert showstopper. This is where the bakers are really allowed to let their creativity shine, as they're given free rein to come up with any dessert they think best captures the spirit of Thanksgiving.

Throughout the competition, the judges keep a close eye on the bakers, critiquing their technique, flavor combinations, and overall execution of the challenge. But it's not just the judges who will be weighing in on the bakers' creations – this episode also features a special guest judge who offers their insights on the bakers' work and helps decide who will be sent home at the end of the episode.

As always, the stakes are high on Holiday Baking Championship, and the bakers must bring their best to every challenge if they hope to make it to the end. With Thanksgiving as the theme of this episode, emotions are high and the competition is tough. Will one baker rise to the top and claim the grand prize, or will they all fall short in the face of this holiday challenge?
