Do you love to whisk, measure, mix, roll, cut, and craft holiday treats for your friends and family? Is coming up with imaginative recipes your calling? Most importantly: Do you love Christmas? Then you definitely need to apply for Hallmark’s new competition series.

The network known for its impressive slate of holly jolly programming announced earlier this year that they will debut Christmas Cookie Countdown in 2019. The 5-episode show reportedly follows home cooks as they battle it out to make the best delicious desserts. A panel of “well-known” pastry chefs and Hallmark stars will judge, meaning this is basically the best thing to happen to us since Nailed It.

Scratch that-this news is even better: Hallmark is now casting amateur bakers for their latest project. According to several posts, company Wyldside Media is on the hunt for Southern California residents who think they’ve got what it takes to be the ultimate Christmas cookie champ. Oh, and there’s allegedly a $25,000 cash prize, too.

The requirements are simple. Basically you have to answer an enthusiastic “yes” to the below questions, and be available to film from July 29-August 4 in Los Angeles:

  • Do your friends and family tell you your Christmas cookies are the very BEST?

  • Are people always asking you for your cookie recipes?

  • Are you confident in your creative abilities in the kitchen?

If the above sounds like you, then be prepared that the challenges span “everything from visual and decorative, to taste and overall presentation.” Even more exciting, you’ll apparently get to “partner up with some of your favorite Hallmark Television stars” if you make the cut.

So, what are you waiting for!? Get baking!
