It's a day of celebration in the MasterChef kitchen! To highlight the festivities of the holiday season, our judges welcome six well-known personalities who are passionate about cooking so that they compete behind the stove in a 90-minute episode. These special guests will have to showcase their culinary skills and creativity by completing three tests linked to the end-of-year celebrations. Only one person will take home the honors at the end of this special episode. The judges are in a festive spirit, the champagne is chilled and a check for $10,000 to be given to a charity is at stake. Who will be able to get their hands on this coveted gift?

The judges welcome sixteen amateur chefs into their kitchen. The adventure begins! To gain a major advantage, they must cook a dish that is dear to them. Important guests join the panel of judges.

The candidates are invited to a grand tournament! Only the best will triumph. Working in teams, they will have to overcome three challenges. The first is to evaluate their culinary techniques.
