Sugarplums and Sailing Ships — K.L. Noone

Character Bleed/Gingerbread Dreams crossover

It's Holiday Baking Showdown time! This year, Nate isn't a contestant. In fact, he's agreed to be a judge. But he's never had to critique someone else's baking on television before, he feels terrible about eliminating anyone, and he hates to disappoint his boyfriend Marcus, the show's executive producer. And this week's guest judges are two of the biggest names in Hollywood.

Jason and Colby both love baking, cooking, and holiday recipes, so agreeing to be guest judges on an episode of the Holiday Baking Showdown sounds perfect. It's good for Jason's new domestic image, and Colby's a huge fan of the show. But Colby's not a fan of crowds and chaos. And Jason can't help worrying about him.

But with new friends, delicious desserts, and a tacky holiday sweater or two, everyone's sugarplum dreams might just come true ...
