The Great Christmas Bake Off Returns!

The Bake Off tent is getting into the Christmas spirit! This festive season, Father Christmas himself, Paul Hollywood, is joined by Prue Leith, along with their merry helpers Noel Fielding and Alison Hammond.

In the tent, stars from EastEnders, Coronation Street, and Emmerdale will face off in the hopes of earning the coveted title of Festive Star Baker. But before that, they must impress the judges with three Christmas-inspired baking challenges.

In the Signature Challenge, the bakers will put a personal twist on the classic yule log, while the Technical Challenge will test their meringue skills as they create intricate Christmas tree designs. No festive special would be complete without a dramatic Soap-inspired twist, so the bakers will bring one of their most famous soap storylines to life… in biscuit form!

Soap legends Chris Bisson, Natalie Cassidy, Dean Gaffney, Shobna Gulati, and Sheree Murphy will compete for the title of Star Baker in this special holiday episode. The Great Christmas Bake Off is back on Channel 4 this Christmas season!
