In episode 7 of season 6 of the Holiday Baking Championship, titled "Gettin' Gifty with It," the remaining bakers are challenged to create baked goods that are both delicious and festive enough to be considered perfect holiday gifts. The episode starts with a gift-wrapping challenge, where the bakers must use their creativity to decorate their baked goods in a way that makes them look like they're ready to be gifted. The judges are looking for presentation as well as taste, so the bakers must pay close attention to the smallest details.

After the gift-wrapping challenge, the bakers move on to the main challenge, which is to create a dessert that would make the perfect holiday gift. They must keep in mind the recipient of their gift and come up with flavors and decorations that would suit their tastes. The judges are looking for a variety of textures, flavors, and visual appeal, as well as the ability to make the gift-giving experience feel special. The bakers have a wide range of options to choose from, including cookies, cakes, pies, and more.

As the bakers get to work, they face several obstacles, including unexpected ingredient issues and time constraints. Some bakers struggle to come up with creative ideas, while others struggle with execution. But they all push through and manage to create some impressive confections that the judges can't wait to taste.

As the tasting begins, the judges are once again impressed by the creativity and skill of the bakers. Many of the desserts are described as "elevated" versions of classic holiday treats, with unexpected flavors and textures that make them stand out. Some bakers are praised for their attention to detail, while others are commended for their bold flavor combinations.

At the end of the episode, the judges make the difficult decision of choosing a winner and a runner-up. Both bakers have created impressive desserts, but one stands out as the clear winner. The end result is a satisfying conclusion to an exciting and challenging episode that showcases the creativity and talent of the remaining bakers.
