Where to watch The Great British Baking Show: Holidays 2022

Last updated:

After a turbulent Season 13 (who could forget the now-infamous “Mexican Week”?), fans of The Great British Baking Show can rejoice as the show’s two-episode holiday special comes with the promise of boozy Yule logs, edible Christmas trees, New Year breakfast buns, and a host of special appearances from British celebrities and past bakers. 

 

How is the holiday special different from the regular season?

Instead of being a full season long, the 2022 version of The Great British Baking Show: Holidays only has two episodes. 

As with previous seasons, the two-hour episodes are both holiday-themed; one is dedicated to Christmas, and the other to New Year’s Eve. They are titled The Great Christmas Baking Show and The Great Festive Baking Show, respectively. 

 

Who will the contestants be?

Episode 1: The Great Christmas Baking Show

The first episode of Season 5 of The Great British Baking Show: Holidays is a repeat of the 2021 holiday edition of the show. It features the cast of It’s a Sin—a British drama miniseries on HBO and Channel 4

Members of the cast—including Olly Alexander, Nathaniel Curtis, Lydia West, and Shaun Dooley—are tasked with creating several unconventional Christmas-inspired dishes (for example, “leftovers pie”).

 

Episode 2: The Great Festive Baking Show

The second and final episode of the series sees a number of fan favorites make their return to the tent, where they battle it out to impress the judges with New Year-themed dishes like “biscuit-based winter diorama” and a “vasilopita cake.” 

Contestants include 2018 runners-up Kim-Joy Hewlett and Jon Jenkins, and 2020 hopefuls Rowan Williams and “patisserie queen” Hermine
