The holiday season means plenty of holiday baking, both in our own kitchens and on TV! Every year, we get excited to see the best holiday baking shows, whether they’re filled with delicious recipes that we could actually try to make ourselves or gourmet masterpieces to admire from behind our screens. This year, some of our favorite baking shows might not have new holiday episodes due to production delays from the coronavirus pandemic, but there are still a few planning new seasons, plus plenty of old favorite episodes to stream again for some holiday comfort watching. These six shows are our very favorite holiday baking picks – see which ones you’ve seen already and which ones you need to catch up on!

Holiday Baking Championship
Over the course of several weeks, top-tier bakers compete in a series of holiday-themed challenges. Each episode usually consists of one smaller challenge that may give the winner an advantage in the next heat, then a “main” challenge that’s much more in-depth, both in content and in presentation. Season seven began airing this year on Nov. 2.
