Synopsis

There's a vending machine in the elf break room that needs something jollier than "healthy snacks," so host Jesse Palmer asks the bakers to fill the vending machine with exciting holiday snacks fit for hungry working elves. Then, in the main heat, a senior elf is retiring, and the bakers must create a farewell dessert that honors the elf's specific position in Santa's workshop, such as gift wrapper or reindeer stable hand. Each baker receives a different retiring elf's resume to interpret in dessert form. Guest judge Stephanie Boswell joins Duff Goldman and Kardea Brown to select the winner and send one baker home.
