A new Food Network show is bunny-hopping its way into our hearts just in time for Easter!

The Kitchen star Sunny Anderson is hosting a new competition show called Easter Basket Challenge, in which Easter-obsessed expert bakers will create whimsical holiday masterpieces as they battle for the "Bunny Money" prize—a golden egg filled with $25,000!

The series will premiere on Food Network and Discovery+ on March 1 at 10 p.m. EST. That's almost a month before Easter (which falls on Sunday, April 4 this year), giving us plenty of time to get in the holiday spirit.

Celebrity chefs Claudia Sandoval (whom you may remember as MasterChef's season 6 winner) and Jordan Andino will act as judges in the five one-hour episodes.

Sunny took to her Instagram on Monday to announce the exciting news, telling fans, "Join me as I host and the judges, [Claudia] and [Jordan] guide our lucky and talented bakers as they fold, sift, and fondant their way to THE BIG BUCKS—I mean BIG BASKET, filled with $25,000!"

"It's a crazy 5 week ride, there are cheers AND tears, and obviously just in time for Easter!!!" she added.

We're so excited for this show, and the challenges sound amazing. Viewers can expect the bakers to create jellybean-inspired pop art pastry tarts, museum-worthy oversized sweets, and an edible Easter Parade float featuring Peeps-themed treats.

In one episode, the contestants will even rock the runway in Easter-candy themed fashion creations. So fun!

Don't forget to mark your calendars so you don’t miss a minute. We'll be breaking out our best Easter bonnets for this one.
