First Look: ‘Great American Baking Show: Celebrity Holiday’

• The Great American Baking Show: Celebrity Holiday streams Nov. 3 on The Roku Channel for free.
• Celebrity bakers include Baron Davis, Cheri Oteri, Oliver Hudson and Janelle James.
• Judges Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith return for festive bakes and comedic holiday chaos.

The holiday spirit is heating up in the tent with The Great American Baking Show: Celebrity Holiday, available to stream this November 3 on The Roku Channel. In this festive one-episode special, hosts Casey Wilson and Andrew Rannells welcome a star-studded lineup ready to mix, knead and compete for holiday glory.

Stepping up to the challenge are two-time NBA All-Star Baron Davis (fresh off his Dancing with the Stars run), Saturday Night Live alum Cheri Oteri, Rules of Engagement and Happy Gilmore 2 star Oliver Hudson and Janelle James, who you may know from her Emmy-nominated performance in Abbott Elementary. Their screen time will be looking a bit different this season, as the four contestants face off in a trio of holiday-themed bakes under the watchful eyes of beloved judges Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith.

Roku. EatingWell design.

“I’m the Grinch, and I will be just as brutal as I normally am,” Hollywood reveals in the trailer, which EatingWell got first dibs to reveal (see above). In this trailer, James admits she is not quite sure what sifting does, Hudson whips up “time machine cookies,” Davis coaches his cookies while laying on the ground and Oteri exclaims, “I don’t know the first thing about baking.” Yep, this year’s special will be one for the books. It’s sure to take the cake—and it may even burn a few, too.

How to stream? Watch on The Roku Channel—it’s free on all Roku devices and TVs. Or watch online at TheRokuChannel.com, through the Roku Mobile app, Amazon Fire TV, Samsung TVs, Google TV and other Android TV OS devices. 

See who will win the coveted Star Baker crown this November. As James puts it, “fake it ‘til you bake it!”
