Snow globes are one of the most popular holiday gifts of all, and the elves at Santa's Village are terribly backed up. To help Santa boost output, host Jesse Palmer asks the 10 remaining bakers to create snow globe trifles and decorate the top with a personal holiday scene that depicts a holiday memory. Judges Duff Goldman, Kardea Brown, and Molly Yeh pick the winner to receive a $1,000 Ghirardelli prize package, and the least successful baker is eliminated.

Santa wants to level up chocolate chip cookies, so host Jesse Palmer asks the nine remaining bakers to create amazing chocolate chip cookie holiday desserts using Ghirardelli chocolate chips. The best dessert is selected by judges Duff Goldman, Kardea Brown, and Molly Yeh to win a $1,000 prize package, along with Jesse's thanks for making him look good to the boss. The least successful baker is eliminated.

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.

Two tasty challenges, one never-before-seen advantage! For the preheat, Santa's Workshop is celebrating Hanukkah, and host Jesse Palmer asks the bakers to create a dessert featuring halva and decorate it for the Festival of Lights. The preheat winner will receive a one-on-one with their direct supervisor -- the judge of their choice! Then, the main heat is all about keeping the abominable snowman happy, so the bakers must include his favorite dessert component -- ice cream. Judges Duff Goldman, Kardea Brown, and Molly Yeh decide on the most successful frozen treat.

In the semifinals, six bakers are facing three challenges to prove who belongs in the finale. For the preheat, host Jesse Palmer meets the bakers one-on-one in Santa's office to talk through a key skill or deficit they need to address in Santa's performance review desserts. In the merry mail heat, bakers must create surprise package desserts based on an ingredient inside a package and decorate it like a holiday gift. Finally, in the main heat, a human resources department sponsored snowball fight inspires snowball croquembouches decorated to represent different Santa's Workshop spaces like Mrs. Claus' kitchen, the reindeer barn, or the elf break room. Judges Duff Goldman, Kardea Brown, and Molly Yeh select the bakers who will move on to the finale.
