If you’re someone who enjoys hearing the phrase “no soggy bottoms” or watching renowned baker Paul Hollywood issue one of his highly sought-after handshakes to an amateur baker, then you’ll be glad to know The Great American Baking Show: Celebrity Holiday 2023 is on the way. 

Like last year, the special spinoff series of The Great British Bake Off once again welcomes novice celebrity bakers as they compete under the now legendary big white tent.
