With the qualifying rounds complete, the six remaining teams of talented cake and sugar artists face off against one another for the first time! Host Jeff Mauro tasks the teams with envisioning a new hobby for Santa's reindeer to enjoy when they aren't busy pulling the sleigh, and Judges Shinmin Li and Aarti Sequeira evaluate the designs before flying one team home.

Host Jeff Mauro gets a little help from the Holiday Wars time machine to send our remaining four teams back in time! Each team of cake and sugar artists must create a Santa from a specific period in history before judges Shinmin Li and Aarti Sequeira decide who will move forward and who will be out of time.
