Season 6 of the Christmas Cookie Challenge returns for its yearly holiday tradition. Each week, the program will feature five cookie chefs competing in a series of tasks for a $10,000 grand prize. The show returns with an episode filled with difficulties and a snow battle. In addition, instead of the normal five candidates, there will be six contestants competing as pairs.
The episode’s summary is as follows:
“Ree Drummond and Eddie Jackson ask four cookie-making couples to create two gift tags – one for each of them; the pairs then build a fortress suitable to survive a snowball war with a ready mound of snowballs in the hopes of earning $10,000.”
Christmas Cookie Challenge Season 6 Episode 1 will premiere on Food Network on Sunday, November 6, at 9 p.m. ET.
The first episode of Christmas Cookie Challenge season 6
Christmas Cookie Challenge Season 6 Episode 1 named Christmas Couples will feature four couples competing in a variety of Christmas-themed tasks for a $10,000 grand prize. The participants must design two nametags for The Food Network’s Pioneer Woman, Ree Drummond, and Eddie Jackson. The nametags will determine which couples advance to the next round and which will go home empty-handed. The remaining couples must next construct a cookie fortress using snowballs as artillery to decide which castle is the greatest of all. In the end, just one couple will walk away with the money and the desired golden ornament to brighten their Christmas.
Three of the four couples were seen adorning their name tags in a Christmas Cookie Challenge commercial posted on social media. Joe and Danielle’s tags seemed to be gnomes; however, although Danielle’s gnome is excellent, her partner’s seems to be “he just got into a fight with someone.””
Joe said in his confessional that elaborate patterns are bad for his hands since they aren’t the strongest. Danielle said,
“Joe isn’t exactly a refined gentleman.”
Luke and Brett’s cookie is adorned with Mardi Gras beads and resembles a Louisiana Santa Alligator. Meanwhile, Aamie and Jonathan are crafting guitar-shaped gift tags and cookies. Aamie referred to her companion as her “Christmas taste tester.” “The guitar is one of the first gifts she ever gave him.
Jonathan confessed in his confessional:
“I have a deeper appreciation for what my wife does since this is one of the most difficult things I’ve ever had to do.”
