"Food Network's viewers have an insatiable appetite for holiday content, pairing that with Joanna's fans, who turned out in record numbers last April when we last had her premieres on our schedule, we knew serving up these special episodes of Magnolia Table with Joanna Gaines would be a welcome treat this time of year," said Courtney White, President, Food Network and Food Streaming Content, Discovery, Inc.

In the first episode, "Holiday Candy," Joanna shares one of her favorite holiday traditions: making candy to give as gifts to family and friends. Viewers will be inspired for their own gift-giving plans as Joanna shares her classic treat recipes like salted caramel peanut brittle, white chocolate peppermint bark, cherry mashers, peanut butter balls and caramels. Then, in "Holiday Sides," Joanna whips up her favorite side dishes to ring in the holidays. Her menu includes homemade green bean casserole, delicious sweet potato casserole, creamy macaroni and cheese, gooey pecan bars and spiced mulled cider.
