Five aspiring food truck teams kick off the season in snowy Wolfeboro, New Hampshire. Tyler Florence challenges the contestants with naughty and nice holiday ingredients, and they compete for sales while battling the elements in a winter wonderland.

Tyler Florence challenges the three food truck teams to tree decorating and tubing down a mountain for the prize of choosing their protein for the day. Then, the teams race for sales at a Killington, Vermont, ski resort before heading to Rutland, where they vie to win and move on to the next round.
