Crown Media Family Networks announced that Chadwick Boyd and Emily Hutchinson, two of American media’s top food and baking personalities, have been tapped as judges for Hallmark Drama’s first all-new series, Christmas Cookie Matchup.
The program also features cast members from Hallmark Channel’s top-rated primetime series, “When Calls the Heart”, including Jack Wagner as host, along with Erin Krakow, Pascale Hutton, Kavan Smith, Chris McNally,Kevin McGarry, Paul Greene, and Andrea Brooks, who will serve as apprentices to the contestants.
The five-part weekly series will premiere on Hallmark Drama this holiday season. There will be a pool of two-person teams. Each team will have one home baker alongside a different star from When Calls the Heart. In each episode, Boyd and Hutchinson will judge as the contestants go spatula-to-spatula in a variety of Christmas cookie and holiday dessert competitions. One team will be eliminated each week, and in the end only one pair of cookie connoisseurs will prevail, with the top home baker winning the $25,000 grand prize. What a Christmas Gift!
