Sugar Rush Christmas

Each episode of "Sugar Rush Christmas" consists of four teams of two people making various baked items. After each round, one of the pair is eliminated and ultimately, the winners receive $10,000 and the prestige of winning.

I noticed in the review by dan_da_man-60288 that he mentioned this show and essentially said that they enjoy the show but prefer "Nailed It" and its Christmas shows. Well, I strongly agree. While I like "Sugar Rush Christmas", it does lack the fun and whimsy of its competition...and could used a bit of an infusion of silliness and fun. I think much of it is because the judges tend to be more reserved and les goofy as you'd find in "Nailed It" and a few other cooking shows. Overall, a nice cooking show but nothing much more.

I generally like the idea of this show, like the structure of it. But I don't know how to say this in the nicest possible way, the judges and the host have no personality to carry this show. Whenever they open their mouths it just seemed forced and I honestly don't want to listen to them.

Only one problem is this awful drumming over the whole show I just did not like it at all! Please please don't use it again!

Love love sugar rush Christmas gives great ideas for the holidays!

I just keep end up watching this show when new Nailed It runs out.

This has the same issues as the normal show. Hunter March is funny at times, but Candace and Zumbo could be replaced with cardboard cutouts and nobody would notice a difference. The guest judges are nothing special either, usually just some random from a show nobody's watching on Netflix. The one exception was Liza Koshy, a comedienne who had some legitimately hilarious moments in her episodes. No spoilers, but the "Christmas Spirit" episode is well worth the watch just for her.

The challenges are largely pretty vague, and even for the "Christmas" theme there's very little direction. There's still this false pretense of the contestants not knowing the challenges ahead of time. "Oh I just HAPPENED to have this obscure bottle of blackberry liqueur that's perfect for the theme of this challenge!"

So if you liked the regular version, this isn't worse, it just isn't any better.

Sugar rush Christmas edition is a fun baking competition. The contestants bring new and interesting ideas to the challenges and make some really delicious looking food! The regular and guest judges are fun to watch and have good commentary.
