Expert bakers elevate desserts with next-level ideas and epic execution. Now the battle is on to win over clients in need of very special sweets.

This holiday season, host Duff Goldman is blending a favorite tradition with scrumptious, beautiful baked goods! Over five magical episodes, six teams of dessert wizards participate in the first-ever competition put on by Santa Claus himself and his faithful Scout Elves from the wildly popular "The Elf on the Shelf." In this "elf-stravaganza," the sweetmakers must create jaw-dropping edible showpieces that bring life the wonderment of Christmas magic for judges Kardea Brown and Ashley Holt. The winning team will be crowned the Ambassadors of Confectionery Concoctions for the North Pole and walk away with a grand prize of $25,000!
