'Tis the season for a special holiday edition of The Great American Baking Show.

The Great American Baking Show: Celebrity Holiday will be back on Roku this winter, PEOPLE can exclusively reveal, with Happy Endings alum and Bitch Sesh star Casey Wilson stepping into the show's iconic tent as a new co-host, alongside returning co-host Zach Cherry.

Both will oversee a culinary showdown between six celebrity bakers — who have yet to be announced — in a holiday-themed edition of the U.S. adaptation of the iconic British baking competition series.

The stars will don their aprons, fire up their ovens and compete for the coveted Star Baker crown while trying to impress celebrity chef Paul Hollywood and restauranteur Prue Leith, who are both judges on The Great British Baking Show (known in the U.K. as The Great British Bake Off).

An exclusive first look at The Great American Baking Show: Celebrity Holiday — set to premiere on The Roku Channel on Nov. 10 — reveals the baking tent festively decorated for the occasion with wreaths, twinkle lights, tinsel, Christmas trees, boughs of holly, gingerbread houses and more.

Hollywood, Leith, Wilson and Cherry also all sit together with plates of celebrity-baked goods in front of them, seemingly discussing the week's challenge.

The U.S. adaptation premiered on Roku in May, with six hourlong episodes featuring nine amateur bakers from across the country. Cherry hosted together with The Office star Ellie Kemper.

Five seasons of the U.S. series had previously aired on ABC, the last being in 2019.

"Our adaptation of the iconic series will continue to dish out the enduring warmth and humor that fans of the Baking Show universe love, with a twist that we know Ellie and Zach will deliver," Brian Tannenbaum, head of alternative originals at Roku, said in a statement at the time.

"The passion that fans have for this franchise is unmatched," he added, citing the enduring popularity of the franchise, which first debuted in England back in 2010.

In a trailer for the show, Leith said she was excited to see the American competitors at work. "I'm hoping that these bakers will bring something new to the tent," she said. "America genuinely is the great melting pot of the world."

While Baking Show fans tune in religiously each week, Leith recently revealed that she can't bear to watch the long-running show. “The trouble with our job as judges is you're looking down all the time and all your chins are on view. Then, to have a gob full of cake…,” she told the Daily Mail’s Weekend Magazine last month.

“I never watch Bake Off, and the truth is not that I don't think it's a wonderful show, I do,” she added. “I'm so vain, I cannot bear seeing my wobbly bits on view all the time.”
