It’s all about celebrating the holidays in Rachael Ray’s new A&e series, Rachael Ray’s Holidays. The six-episode season premieres on December 8, 2024, with new episodes airing on Sundays at 10am Et/Pt during the Home.Made.Nation programming block.

“Cooking and entertaining are both central parts of my life, but around the holidays it takes on an especially significant role for myself, my family and many others,” stated Ray. “It’s a time where we all gather to celebrate, and the joy of food and cooking is so unifying, so I’m especially excited to invite audiences into my home to share the familial traditions and recipes that make this time so meaningful.”

Rachael Ray, Brian Flanagan, Anthony Amoia, Sean Lee, Teri Kennedy, and Jordan Harman serve as executive producers. The series is produced by Free Food Studios for A&e Network.

Syndicated daytime talk show “Rachael Ray” will conclude with one final season after 17 years of cooking lessons, celebrity interviews and life advice.

CBS announced the news Friday in a press release.

“In my more than 20 plus years in television I have had 17 wonderful seasons working in daytime television with ‘Rachael.’ However I’ve made the decision that’s it’s time for me to move on to the next exciting chapter in my broadcast career,” Ray said. “My passions have evolved from the talk show format production and syndication model to a platform unencumbered by the traditional rules of distribution.”
