-Hi. -Hi, hi, hi, hi, hi.
Today, Ashley Tisdale and Brent Morin from the new Netflix Christmas series,
Merry Happy Whatever
Thank you for coming all the way out here to bake.
I hope it's worth it.
- Oh, it will be. -Yeah, yeah.
Now, your sitcom,
and in one episode, the whole family goes Christmas caroling.
So today, you guys are gonna make...
cake pop snowman carolers!
You think I could do that? I couldn't make a snowman.
Right here, we have two sweet, sweet snowmen
who are ready to knock on doors and sing their little snowman hearts out.
When I say go, you're gonna run up here
and get the snowman that you want to make, okay?
-Mm-hmm. -Go.
Go? Oh, you tricked me.
Great. I get the one with the cape.
The good news is that, today, we are giving you the cake.
So no baking.
All right, it's time to start rolling cake balls!
You got 45 minutes So I would start now
-Now, now, now! -Go?
-Yeah. -All right. I love this song.
Okay.
Two sticks of butter goes in there.
-Okay. -Ashley,
are your sleeves getting in the way?
Yeah, and my weave.
-I was not prepared. -Please don't put hair in it.
I'll try not to.
Where the hell is the sugar?
Brent, why are you screaming?
'Cause I'm a chef! That's what you do here, Jacques.
Oh, I should get gloves.
I don't need gloves. I'm an artist. Right, Jacques?
Put the gloves on!
Oui,
Is that just a small chef?
A "wee chef"?
Peppermint extract.
Found it.
Brent, are you just taking things off people's counters?
Cap's on.
-Stop laughing, chef! -Look how much he put.
-Too much? -Did you see that?
Brent, do you see this buttercream?
Yes!
Magical.
I'm a little busy right now. I don't need, like, the positive energy.
-I'm more of an aggressive guy. -Okay, you should probably start baking
and stop talking.
Oh, my God. I'll tell you this...
-If we were married... -Brent.
...that statement with that smile... divorce on Christmas.
Right on Christmas too.
-"Where's Mom?" -"She's gone."
"Now eat your snowball."
He's crazy.
You guys have 33 minutes left.
-Oh, my gosh! -All right.
Oh, my God.
Thought you saw a ghost.
Okay, form into shape.
Oh, that is hot.
That's... hot and sticky.
This one's gonna have A big head
Gonna look like It's got a seafood allergy
Yeah, I'm doing good.
Oh, no.
Then it falls apart And it burns your hands
This thing was a lot harder Than I thought
Look, his hands.
This is all ruined And I'm getting mad
Ashley, was this how Brent was during... filming?
What, talked a lot? Yes.
-No, this angry. -No, that wasn't it at all, Ashley.
Thanks for revealing that that you've been holding in.
Aggressive Brent is coming. This...
Where are the wipes? Grey tub?
-This? -Brent, do you need something?
Like, do you need anything right now?
-Almost took down the whole set. -Brent!
You guys have 15 minutes left,
so there should be a head, a torso, a bottom...
-"You're doing a bad job, Brent." -"Shut up, Mom."
-"You're really disappointing the family." -"Shut up!"
Brent, instead of a panic button, do you need a therapy button?
I need you in my sight.
How will I make your mouth, your eyes, your hat, your cape,
your weird gold thing, your bells, and your hands, and your arms?
Oh, boy.
Ashley, how is it going over there?
It's been going really good.
-No. No, no, no, no, no. -No? Never mind.
Don't put metal in the microwave.
Watch this, guys.
Watch Brent.
You get that? Do that one in slo-mo.
You guys have ten minutes left.
-Oh, my gosh, are you kidding me? -No.
They're gonna get a little bit of wood in their mouth.
How did you get the arms?
I'm not telling you.
Oh, that's a friend.
Three minutes left.
Did you just shush me?
-I'm so sorry. -Oh, man, you're in trouble.
Yep.
Just trying to finish it off real nice.
His book is on his abs.
Broke the face.
One minute left.
Finish!
-You're finished? -No.
More of these for good luck.
Ashley is... she's just chowing down on some candy.
Toothpicks?
Shoot.
You should be adding your finishing touches.
Just want this one thing to h...
It is what it is.
-Wow. -Five,
four, three, two, one...
You're done.
Thought cooking was supposed to be relaxing.
Okay, Ashley, this is the cake pop snowman caroler
you were trying to make. Let's see what you did.
Sleighed it!
You know what? This is pretty inoffensive.
I think he's very festive.
I like that you got innovative with the mittens, they're little mints.
I love the arms, very... you know, on the side like that.
-Yeah, he is muscular. -Yes, he is muscular.
It's kind of cute.
-Yeah. -I like it too.
-Thanks. -Forks!
-Ah, wow. -I wish it worked like that in real life.
All right.
Uh-oh.
Oh, you get it. Yes.
My man's gonna fall apart soon.
I think the cake pop has a pretty good texture to it.
Jacques' face is not...
What's happening?
You put the flavor in it.
-Peppermint? -The peppermint, yes.
-It's light, but... -I liked it.
I like that when it's light like that
because sometime we put a little bit too much,
-and it's like, "Oh, my God. Too much." -Okay.
-All right, thank you, Ashley. -Thank you.
-Brent, Brent, Brent. -Good job.
Let's remember what you were trying to make,
and let's see what you made.
Sleighed it!
Let's take a breath before you start judging.
Sometimes food is about the journey.
She was traveling for Christmas,
and she happened to end up in a war.
First, she had to fight off the rabid elves.
So she had the spear,
and she had to go through Red Vine Village.
You know, it got very violent.
All to protect...
To protect her baby boy.
But we could laugh.
We could laugh at her who can't see anymore.
-I think it looks kind of mad... -That was a tough battle.
...to be honest, but...
You cannot do that. You cannot judge his...
This is a conflict of interest here.
You cannot do that.
All right, well...
-All right. -Forks!
-Thank you.
-Cover your eyes. -All right.
Okay.
Not bad, huh?
-It's great. -That's a lot of peppermint.
Thank you.
I didn't think it was bad.
I do think it could've had a little bit more buttercream.
Yes, I think it's a little bit dry.
You're right. I'm sorry for that, but it's true.
Well, then thank you very much. It's gonna be a long ride home.
I'm a big boy. I can take it.
Bakers, it is now time to announce the winner.
Jacques?
The winner is...
Ashley.

-Congratulations. -Congratulations.
-What the...? -I won!
-Here you go! -Yay!
Oh, my gosh. I'm so excited!
I won. I won.
-I won. I won. -All right.
I mean, do you have to make such a "rub it in your face" hat?
-I won. -We know.
-I won. -The world knows. Everybody knows.
-I won. -Wear it proudly and in public.

Think she had too much sugar.
