In season one episode four, titled "Holiday Window Shop 'Til You Drop," the bakers face a new challenge to create brilliant window displays that best reflect the holiday spirit and their baking abilities.

The episode begins with the bakers entering the kitchen where they find beautiful holiday window displays created by their fellow competitors. The displays have been created using gingerbread, royal icing, and various sweets like candies, chocolates, and sugar. The bakers are in awe of each other's work, and they all hope to make a display that impresses the judges and wins them the competition.

The host Jesse Palmer informs the bakers that their challenge for this episode is to create a window display on their own. They have to use gingerbread and candy as their primary ingredients and can add other sweets to decorate. The judges, Nancy Fuller, Duff Goldman, and Lorraine Pascale, will evaluate the displays based on their creativity, technical skills, and taste. The bakers will have three hours to complete their creations.

The bakers quickly get to work, brewing their creative juices to come up with ideas that best capture the holiday spirit. Some bakers decide to stick to traditional holiday themes like Santa Claus, Christmas trees, and snowflakes, while others opt to go for a more daring and personalized approach. One baker creates a Nativity Scene, while another designs a Winter Wonderland complete with gingerbread skiers and snowmen. As time ticks by and the bakers race against the clock, they all work with great dedication, passion, and precision, creating holiday magic right before the judges' eyes.

The judges keep a close watch on all the bakers as they work, asking questions about their inspiration, the techniques they are using, and their choice of ingredients. They provide some constructive criticism along the way, pointing out the areas where they think the bakers could improve and offering suggestions on where they can tweak their designs. The bakers take their feedback into account, recalibrating their creations as necessary.

Finally, the time is up, and the bakers present their window displays to the judges. The judges' reactions are mixed, some impressed, and others a little underwhelmed. The bakers wait in suspense as the judges evaluate each display based on the criteria and announce the winner. The competition is fierce, and the judges have a tough time picking the best display, but in the end, only one baker will be declared the winner of the challenge.
