Each week, new challenges bring twists and surprises, while Oliver Hudson guides the fun with warmth and humor, inviting viewers into a magical holiday world, where imagination has no limits. Judges for the series include, acclaimed pastry chef, Gale Gand, architect and professor, Michael Ford along with episodic guests, celebrity stylist Brad Goreski, chef Christina Tosi, actress D'arcy Carden and for the finale, Joanna Gaines.

"From the very first pitch, we knew Gingerbread Land would capture the magic of the holidays in a way that feels both whimsical and high-energy," said Allison Page, President, Magnolia Network. "It's festive, it's joyful, and it's the kind of show families will want to watch together year after year."
