Channel 4 orders Christmas Bake Off: Soap Icons
November 15, 2024

This December, Channel 4 will air a Great Christmas Bake Off: Soap Icons special.
Paul Hollywood will be joined, as always, by Prue Leith, Noel Fielding and Alison Hammond – and celebrating with them will be stars from EastEnders, Coronation Street and Emmerdale, who will battle it out to be crowned the Festive Star Baker.
The Signature Challenge asks the bakers to put their own spin on the traditional yule log, while the Technical challenges their meringue skills as they create delicate Christmas trees. No Christmas would be complete though without a dramatic Soap ending, as the bakers showcase one of their famous soap storylines – in biscuit form.
For this special episode, Soap stars Chris Bisson, Natalie Cassidy, Dean Gaffney, Shobna Gulati and Sheree Murphy will be competing for Star Baker.
The Great Christmas Bake Off also returns to Channel 4 this festive season.
