Baking It was a short-lived holiday competition series in which eight teams of two talented home bakers join Samberg & Rudolph at a winter cabin for a celebration of culinary holiday traditions. This was also a spinoff of Making It.

Premise[]

Contestant duos work together to create outstanding savory and sweet creations for themed challenges with the hopes of winning a cash prize, while Samberg (later Poehler) & Rudolph lead the festivities, also providing comedic and musical commentary in action. The bakers' holiday treats are judged by four opinionated real-life grandmothers (i.e., Leonhard, Robin, Williams & Zager) who happen to be fantastic bakers themselves!

Trivia[]

This premiered the same day as Queen of the Universe hosted by Graham Norton on Paramount Plus.
