The empires journey to the Arctic for their biggest build yet, as host Wells Adams asks the baking teams to make towering showpieces of iconic North Pole animals. Polar bears, walrus, and even snow owls come to life through sugar, chocolate, and cake. Judges Yolanda Gampp and Jacques Torres are looking for scale, accuracy, and cozy flavors that could warm even the coldest winter's night.

The final two empires face off in a holiday showdown. Host Wells Adams gives the bakers complete creative freedom to build an entire edible world that celebrates the holiday season. Alongside their showpiece, each team must deliver a tasting element worthy of the finale for judges Yolanda Gampp and Jacques Torres. Only one empire will rise above the rest to claim the $50,000 prize and the crown of Sweet Empire.
