The kid cooks give new life to Thanksgiving leftovers, beginning in round one with a puree that the preteens haven't eaten in years. Two classics must be repurposed in the entree round, and cranberry sauce desserts are in store for guest judge Alanna Masterson as the last two junior chefs finish out the competition.

Young chefs celebrate the holidays with guest judge Corey Fogelmanis and a wrapped present in each round. Along with their seasonal surprises, the kids get cooking with duck in the first round, a popular protein in the entree basket and Santa Claus melon for dessert.
