Food Network has timed this one carefully: Holiday Baking Championship starts its 13th season tonight at 8pm ET (7pm Central) with a two-hour episode, “Welcome to Santa’s Village”, and the afternoon is built as a runway. That is the night’s pick and the only reason to treat 8pm as an appointment.

The runway is Holiday Wars. From 3pm to 8pm ET, five episodes run back to back, S06E04 through S06E08, with the last one, “Pet, Meet Christmas Tree”, handing straight over to the baking show at 8pm. The two formats sit close together, so the logic is plain: keep the holiday audience warm, then give it the new season. It is a smart ramp, and a sensible one on the first Monday of November, when a channel can start the Christmas run without anyone blinking.

Two hours is a long first episode. A series opener at that length asks you to commit, and the competition is real: Dancing with the Stars on ABC, Below Deck on Bravo, FBI on CBS and Name That Tune on Fox. If you only want a taste, the first hour will tell you whether the season is worth the rest of your week.

After the long slot, Food Network switches to Beat Bobby Flay at 10pm ET, a 30-minute format that comes in clean after a two-hour episode. It airs four times in a row, until midnight, and the episode numbers jump between seasons 40, 40, 39 and 37, a reminder that this is a library show being run rather than a story being told. It faces Shark Tank on ABC and Watch What Happens Live on Bravo, and is better as a wind-down than as a destination.

Midnight brings Tournament of Champions: All-Star Christmas, a 2025 special that runs two hours.

Verdict: be there at 8pm, and let Beat Bobby Flay finish the night.
