    As we prepare to welcome in the New Year, four returning bakers are back to whip up some delightful dishes to take us in to 2024.

Paul and Prue are ready with their tasting forks and Noel and Alison are on hand to deliver the New Year's spirit. So join Sarah, Jane, Howard and Dan as they discuss The Great New Year Bake Off and reveal the first winner of 2024.

Sophie, Carole, Amelia, George, Linda and our very own Dan all return to face three challenges set by Paul 'Scrooge' Hollywood and Prue 'Festive Cheer' Leith. A mince pie signature, snowflake puff pastry technical and a redemption cake showstopper are all that stand between one returning baker and the Festive Bake Off cake stand prize. Join Sarah, Dan, Jane and Howard as they discuss this year's Christmas episode and find out about our podcasters' personal baking rituals.

Amazing

I love listening to this podcast after the show. I highly recommended it to anyone who loves Bake Off!❤️

Deliabattie ,

Fun

It’s fun to listen to a podcast after watching the show, like chatting it over with your friends. The host Josh Landy is friendly and pleasant to listen to. It’s unfortunate that more recent episodes seem to be featuring Dan Beasley Harlingen more frequently, because he comes off as very judgemental and superior and adds a bad taste to an otherwise enjoyable podcast. Jane and Howard can be critical, but usually in a balanced, constructive way. Dan just seems mean.

Show with Former GBBO hosts! Great chat

Wonderful show, excellent guests from former seasons.
