Food Network is sweetening the Halloween season with the return of two fan-favorite, Halloween-themed competitions: “Halloween Baking Championship” and “Halloween Wars.”
Halloween Baking Championship
The Halloween season starts on Monday, September 15 at 9 p.m. ET/PT with the two-hour, supersized premiere of “Halloween Baking Championship.” Hosted by John Henson and set in a haunted mansion, the season features a myriad of dessert challenges. The bakers are tested over seven episodes with a series of sinister challenges inspired by the haunted manor, and the most terrifying aspect of all – their own personal fears. For the first time, the bottom three bakers in most episodes will be forced to bake for their lives as judges Stephanie Boswell, Carla Hall, and Zac Young decide whose chilling displays will earn $25,000 and the title of Halloween Baking Champion!
Halloween Wars
Then, on Sunday, September 21, at 9 p.m. ET/PT, a new season of “Halloween Wars” premieres with host Jonathan Bennett presiding over this year’s mayhem, as seven teams of the best cake, sugar, and pumpkin artists in the world create daringly delicious treats. From scenes depicting childhood monsters to an inspired take on the boogeyman’s evil lair, this season’s teams make some of the spookiest and most mouthwatering displays yet. In the end, only one team will impress judges Shinmin Li and Aarti Sequeira, and walk away with the “Halloween Wars” championship and the grand prize of $25,000.
Before the action kicks off, don’t miss the “Road to Halloween Wars” special on Sunday, September 15 at 11 p.m. ET/PT, where aspiring competitors from across the country show off their skills to prove why they deserve to compete for the grand prize.
“Halloween Baking Championship and Halloween Wars kick off Food Network’s must-see, seasonal programming each year in spectacular fashion, consistently ranking among the network’s top audience drivers,” said Betsy Ayala, Head of Content, Food, Warner Bros Discovery. “This season promises more scares and heart-pounding action as the competing artists do what they do best, conjure jaw-dropping and terrifying creations from flour, sugar, and their imaginations.”
Can’t catch the outrageous challenges and spine-tingling, edible creations when they air? Episodes of both series will stream the next day on HBO Max.
