The Great British Bake Off is back this festive season, with two special Christmas episodes with the first airing on Christmas Eve.
Judges Prue Leith and Paul Hollywood will return, with hosts Noel Fielding and Alison Hammond providing plenty of giggles.
Unlike in previous years, there won't be any celebrities taking part this time. Instead, Bake Off viewers can expect to see some familiar faces from the series' gone by returning to the tent. With all the action taking place on Channel 4 from 8.15pm, the Christmas Eve special features George (series 12), Sophie (series 8), Dan (series 9), Amelia (series 10), Linda (series 11), and Carole (series 13).

The second Bake Off special will feature Mark (series 11), Maxy (series 13), Maggie, and Jurgen (both series 12). The Great New Year's Bake Off airs on January 1 at 7.40pm.
While it's not yet known what tasks are bakers will be set, previous festive editions have seen contestants tackle baking Christmas concoctions such as a pastry wreath, and bauble cakes.
The specials come just weeks after the most recent series of Bake Off came to an end, with PE teacher Matty crowned the 2023 winner.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
