All about Christmas Cookie Challenge season 6's premiere episode

Christmas Cookie Challenge Season 6, episode 1, titled, Christmas Couples will see four couples as they compete in a series of Christmas-themed challenges to win $10,000. The contestants must create two nametags for Pioneer woman, Ree Drummond and Eddie Jackson, the two household names for The Food Network.

The nametags will decide which couples will proceed to the next round and who will go home without Christmas joy. The remaining couples must then create a cookie fortress with snowballs as ammunition to determine whether their castle is the best of them all. In the end, only one couple will take home the dough along with the coveted golden ornament to make their holidays merrier.

In a Christmas Cookie Challenge promo uploaded on social media, three out of the four couples were seen decorating their name tags. Joe and Danielle’s tags looked like gnomes, while Danielle’s gnome looks outstanding, her partner’s looks like “he just got in a fight with someone."

In their confessional, Joe said that intricate designs are not good for his hands as he doesn’t have the steadiest ones. Danielle said:

"Joe isn’t exactly a finessful man."

Luke and Brett’s cookie looks like a Louisiana Santa Alligator finished with Mardi Gras beads. Meanwhile, Aamie and Jonathan are making gift tags that look like a guitar and cookies. Aamie described her partner as her “Christmas taste tester" and the guitar symbolizes one of the first gifts she ever got him.

In his confessional, Jonathan said:

"I have a newfound respect for what my wife does, because this is one of the hardest things that I’ve ever had to do."
