The Big Holiday Food Fight  — Series Premieres November 16 at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT, moving to its regular 8:00 p.m. ET/PT time slot on November 23.

Hosted by Kym Whitley, this exciting holiday-themed cooking competition series from SallyAnn Salsano and 495 Productions (“Peace of Mind with Taraji,” “The Real,” “Jersey Shore” “Martha and Snoop’s Potluck Party Challenge”) celebrates the holidays with traditions, family recipes and a side order of fierce competition. In each episode, we crown a new King or Queen of the holiday table and put a little jingle in their pocket with enough cash to tackle some fierce Christmas shopping.

Three home cooks will bust out their most beloved holiday family recipes and ‘jingle bell rock’ the kitchen in a multi-stage cook-off that will leave only one home chef standing at the end of each episode — and the winner of a $5,000 stocking stuffed with cash. Appetizers, side dishes and desserts take center stage each week as our cooks are challenged to whip up their best family-favorite recipes to wow our accomplished judges, Gina Neely, Darnell ‘SuperChef’ Ferguson and James Wright Chanel. At the end of each round, our panel of judges will decide who stays for the next round and who gets booted out in the cold.

 

A Chestnut Family Christmas – November 30 at 9pm EST/PST
Starring: Meagan Holder and Brad James

When a talented pastry chef (Holder), currently working as a live-in cook, accidentally commits to hosting her family for the holidays, she poses as the wealthy homeowner (James) in order to impress them and to remove the “black sheep” burden she has been carrying her whole life. All seems to be going well, until everyone’s secrets are exposed and relationships begin to unravel.

 

A Sisterly Christmas – December 7 at 9pm EST/PST
Starring: Deborah Joy Winans, Lisa Michelle Cornelius and Kendrick Cross

Two sisters (Winans, Cornelius), one who loves Christmas and everything that comes with it and the other who can be the scroogiest of Scrooges, receive an early Christmas gift: an inheritance that takes them on a once-in-a-lifetime luxury holiday vacation. Their Christmas proves to be more than they bargained for when they run into their childhood rival, now a Broadway star who digs in on these sisters, testing their resolve as women and their bonds of sisterhood.

 

A Christmas Stray – December 14 at 9pm EST/PST
Starring: Andra Fuller and Rhyon Nicole Brown

A tightly-wound corporate executive (Fuller), finds himself hopelessly stranded in a small mountain town on Christmas Eve, unable to shake the adorable stray dog who ran him off the road, and irresistibly drawn to the free-spirited, local veterinarian (Brown) who is sorely in need of some Christmas magic herself.

Stay Merry,
Lolly Family Signature
