Sugar Rush Christmas

Only one problem is this awful drumming over the whole show I just did not like it at all! Please please don't use it again!

Love love sugar rush Christmas gives great ideas for the holidays!

I also don't like the upbeat background music every episode (it's annoying). In every episode all Hunter's lines are the same. For me personally he's just too abrasive to watch, annoying and above all: Not authentic.

The rest of the show is okay. I like the regular Sugar Rush more because i feel like there is more creativity. Literally in every episode of this season there were cupcakes and cakes with peppermint. It gets repetitive, same for christmas colours red and green. Candice and Zumbo are great as always and the interviews are also great to get to know the contestants a little bit better!

I generally like the idea of this show, like the structure of it. But I don't know how to say this in the nicest possible way, the judges and the host have no personality to carry this show. Whenever they open their mouths it just seemed forced and I honestly don't want to listen to them.

I just keep end up watching this show when new Nailed It runs out.

This has the same issues as the normal show. Hunter March is funny at times, but Candace and Zumbo could be replaced with cardboard cutouts and nobody would notice a difference. The guest judges are nothing special either, usually just some random from a show nobody's watching on Netflix. The one exception was Liza Koshy, a comedienne who had some legitimately hilarious moments in her episodes. No spoilers, but the "Christmas Spirit" episode is well worth the watch just for her.

The challenges are largely pretty vague, and even for the "Christmas" theme there's very little direction. There's still this false pretense of the contestants not knowing the challenges ahead of time. "Oh I just HAPPENED to have this obscure bottle of blackberry liqueur that's perfect for the theme of this challenge!"

So if you liked the regular version, this isn't worse, it just isn't any better.

I don't mind Zumbo or Candace like the other reviewers--I appreciated their feedback to the bakers and their clear expertise. On the other hand, Hunter and Liza drove me crazy. Everything they said felt forced and over the top, like they were trying to shove Christmas spirit down our throats. I loved the bakers and the challenges, but I felt a lot of the things added to the show were totally unnecessary.
