'Home Alone' Gingerbread House (With Pranks!): Gingerbread Showdown 2022 | NYT Cooking

[@bandman7600]

"If we're being movie accurate" killed me everytime

[@vigilantcosmicpenguin8721]

That's such a mood.

[@LouiseHultcrantz]

Ham -"thank you Priya, we would have looked foolish"😂

[@ta21l]

Priya’s knowledge of Home Alone is iconique behavior

[@wm6549]

I have not even watched the movie once let alone 100 times. I may have to fix that this weekend.

[@seroun17]

I said it last year and I’ll say it again. This is the video I look forward to the most every year.

[@ramian56]

Me too!!!!

[@anibalbustosriquelme4271]

Same, and the other videos are my comfort videos for when I’m stressed or anxious

[@kellychung9169]

i hadnt heard anything about it promo wise and i got really sad thinking that it wasnt gonna happen this year. great surprise!

[@molliewatts6445]

I was getting worried we weren't getting one! So happy!

[@lisaanderson135]

Same here! I too watched the first and second episodes. That said, they inspired me to make a Victorian style gingerbread house that I still am working on! In my opinion, these two super hero couples on NYT Cooking are full of incredible ideas! I couldn’t stop laughing through each episode, which was (and still is) so incredibly important at this historic, unbelievable and terrifying time we live in! Thank you NYT Cooking! I actually changed my carrier because of all the knowledge and step by step tutorials you have provided us… in turn woke up my love of cooking and baking!😉 Thank you 🙏🏻

[@CanesToast]

It wouldn’t be a yearly gingerbread showdown without Ham leaving halfway through the day to take care of the dogs 😂

[@kelseyscianamblo810]

“A few linear actuators” 😂 Moment os appreciation for Seth! These 4 teamed up is a dream! Love the friendship

[@tiulik]

Between the on-the-nose reality TV editing, Ham & Sohla's sheer talent, Seth's quirkiness and Priya's persistence, this was the easiest 28 minute watch I've seen on KZbin all year. Keep up the great work!

[@vigilantcosmicpenguin8721]

The reality TV editing was a big part of the charm. The editors did great work.

[@lexicrank417]

priya going "it sucks" and cut to seth immediately saying "it's going okay" while sohla and ham devolve into giggly madness is exactly what i needed this holiday season. please never stop making these nyt

[@SnowfIake_s]

The editing on these videos are so good. Sohla saying that she was going to do 'Seth level of accuracy' only for him to come over, not making eye contact to tell her he had burned the hell out of the wall and if that could fix it was pure comedic gold. And also kind of akin to asking where they could hide the body LOL. Their entire dynamic and friendship is what I love about these videos and why I look forward to them every year! It's not Christmas until there's a new Gingerbread House vid with Sohla/Ham/Priya/Seth!! Seeing such competent and brilliant people at work is simply a delight.

[@vigilantcosmicpenguin8721]

You want a Seth level of accuracy, not a Seth level of cooking skill.

[@easilystartled2203]

"We'll put garlic bread Kevin up here, eating his mac-n-cheese..." "Technically, if we're being *movie accurate*, Kevin eats his mac-n-cheese in the first floor dining room." "Oh so then that would be **here**, THANK YOU, Priya, we would have looked FOOLISH."

[@DeliaLee8]

Well... they *did* appoint her the Home Alone historian. Priya's just doing her job. 😅

[@lostinlumiosecity]

i loved that moment 😭😭

[@sj-wz4ig]

"So the trunk will want to be like 6 inches long." "If we're being movie accurate, what bumps into the statue is the pizza car." "Oh sorry, this is why you're here Priya." "I feel like if there is a Reddit thread about home alone. Priya is probably the moderator."

[@ThaoNguyen-oq4vo]

Take a shot every time Priya says,”If we’re being movie accurate.” I love her 😂

[@umsami]

Congrats to Priya and Seth on getting married. Congrats to Sohla, Ham, Priya, and Seth for their amazing "Home Alone" house--which is not only an incredible concept, but looks very tasty as well. Would love to see a recipe for Ham's chicken nuggets.

[@anibalbustosriquelme4271]

“This Ham and this Sohla, they don’t know how to cook” in an exaggerated French accent gives me life

[@aloveoflibraries]

we need more of Ham's french accent asap

[@chrisdockum1189]

This has been a holiday delight for three years now, and I love the increased interaction between the four. Make these every year!

[@evilmissmunchkin]

Priya being obsessed with home alone and having the floor plan memorized is truly just. Like she said it and I was like “yeah, that tracks”

[@vigilantcosmicpenguin8721]

I aspire to have that level of obsession of something.

[@sweetcaroline1313]

"The Office" style commentary from everyone throughout the video is so cute. Best annual video series - brava NYT! ❤

[@ninasis]

I would watch a series with these two couples all day long, seven days a week, every day of the year. These four humans are THE BEST.

[@meginpoland]

Love these videos each year! Next year obviously has to be Nakatomi Tower with all of the Die Hard hijinks depicted.

[@Minnie_Stronni]

100%! I was going to suggest the same thing!

[@arloahart]

YES!!!!!!

[@vigilantcosmicpenguin8721]

Yes. We need gingerbread explosives.

[@ruth649]

Loved the reunion when Ham got back from checking on the dogs - Sohla's slightly awkward 'they want us to reunite' and then they just have a very mundane conversation because Ham has only been gone for an hour

[@teadrinker214]

"i wanted to give you an activity you would thrive at" is literally me assigning myself organizing work so i dont have to do my actual job

[@tallky]

I love how Ham is opening up more and showing how funny he is

[@reneeong5146]

these once-a-year christmas showdowns are on the top of my list of what makes me excited for christmas - please dont stop!

[@adammarier3909]

There are no family holiday traditions I love more than watching these 4 do this every year. This is now #1.

[@mackenzie-deltadurocher]

So great Priya's roommate could make it.

[@vigilantcosmicpenguin8721]

Former roommate.

[@Lotusblessings816]

I cant believe its already been three years! This series has been a highlight and a delight; and i wish I had Seths amazing attention to detail and discipline lollll

[@RegstarRogstar]

i love that the couples are at different ends of a spectrum of chill to serious bc its so funny to see. seth pulling up a fully light up base for the house was gold. there are no other couples suited for this series more

[@ebick77]

Been waiting for this, and it didn’t disappoint! A great combination of all their strengths - Seth’s engineering/design precision, Priya’s “movie accurate” film expertise, and Sohla and Ham making on-theme, AND delicious, food. Please do this every year.

[@FelipeAkira42]

I wish I was as thorough with anything in my life as Seth is about planning these gingerbread houses

[@PHILAM26]

Watching Seth's beautiful mind and face at work is something I look forward to every holiday season

[@TamarLitvot]

So as soon as I saw this up, I ran over to my streaming service to re-watch Home Alone. I had forgotten how unpleasant most of the characters are, unlike Sohla, Ham, Priya and Seth! Fantastic gingerbread house and so much better with all 4 of you working together rather than competing. I only wish I could have been there to applaud. And then snack. And I want Ham’s chicken nugget recipe!

[@Noah-kl8wn]

I'm looking forward to this years gingerbread extravaganza so much! I wish there were extended cuts of these videos like a short and a long video.

[@alisgray]

OMG please The Addams Family house next year! This vid made me laugh and cry.

[@milkispolitics]

I would love the Addams family house so so much, but is it very christmassy? Maybe we could have a Halloween building video as well? Please NYT 😊

[@alisgray]

@@milkispolitics it CAN be...

[@TracyOn]

Patiently waiting to see if there's going to be one this year!!

[@yishkabob]

Awww man. No iteration this year?

[@melsyoutube]

i love that priya and sohla are still getting booked 💕

[@faureamour]

So much fun! I liked them a little less stressed working together. Also, knowing this was shot in October makes so much more sense why they were watching the movie outside and not freezing or covered in snow.

[@puccaleo]

Just discovered Sohla from The Big Brunch. Found and watched the last 2 years of this challenge. So happy to see this one! Don't stop!

[@IzumisChild]

Sohla's shifty look behind the camera "they want us to reunite" and the crew laughing as they hesitatingly hug. XD

[@marniejane11]

The best repeated line of the episode... "If we're being movie accurate..." 😄 Love you all!!

[@jeffreywalker5300]

Hello, how are you feeling today?

[@dimafriday]

Where is this year showdown?😢

[@aarondaniel2380]

Sohla’s laugh is so heartwarming

[@Noah-kl8wn]

Im devastated that you guys didn't do one this year! So sad 😢 💔

[@brennhhh]

same 😔

[@Rs-rq9fd]

maybe cuz sohla recently gave birth, launched her book and book tour? i hope so, and i hope they get back to it next year

[@brennhhh]

@@Rs-rq9fd oh my gosh i actually didn't know that! i can see why now and hopefully the showdown will continue!

[@wakeupitskelsey]

I love this series. You can really tell how tired Sohla is at the end 😂. This is the most amazing gingerbread house ever

[@opmaus]

I hope this tradition continues for a good long time - definitely some of my favorite Christmas-themed content every year!

[@daniellegarlington]

I love these people! NYT cooking has really produced something unique here! They got us in a choke hold year after year!

[@hectorrobertocontrerasmiranda]

marriage has mellowed Seth, good job Priya!👍 Sohla, can´t wait for the cookbook how ever is this going to be topped next year?

[@mandanal2232]

I haven't lost hope for this year's version

[@nelliephiri9077]

I relate with Ham on spending 40mins to make a guilty pleasure 🙌🤣

[@eviestudies]

4 days till the end of 2023 IT CAN BE A NEW YEAR'S GINGERBREAD SHOWDOWN

[@brennhhh]

i still have hope!!!

[@janinabaezakottirsch9546]

I was so looking forward for this. Thank you so much for making it possible you guys!!!

[@alisgray]

Ya filthy animals!

[@paulinetayag9758]

Rewatching this series as I await 2023 Gingerbread showdown!

[@Shostakovich33]

Never stop having these four cook together. This is a top three videos of the year for me, and a non-holiday video would be icing on the gingerbread house 😉.

[@eltaninD]

At this point, what I want is a whole TV show starring these four together as a team creating incredible edible masterpieces from different shows. With Priya's insane knowledge, Seth's technical know-how and baking skills, and Sohla and Ham's cooking expertise, they really could do anything.

[@The_Mashupman]

The shadow play worked so well through the 'windows'.. Well played, guys. More cooperative projects, please. this was great!

[@amberlewis9333]

"It's just nuggets, mac & cheese, and caviar".... I need this embroidered on a tote bag.

[@secretforreddit]

Next year can you livestream the entire day? I don't think you understand how much me love this!!!

[@tyburnard6663]

Her reaction to "Priya.. are you using floor fondant?" 😂😂😂

[@vigilantcosmicpenguin8721]

We've all had moments like that.

[@kitkat7615]

"the first sound lady thought we were going to get divorced" HAHA

[@timng81]

The annual NYT gingerbread house bake off with Solar, Ham, Prius, and Seth has become my favorite new Christmas tradition.

[@melsyoutube]

this deserves so many more views, i hope they come back again next year 🥺💕

[@ndxxmx2416]

i love that they also include other things than just sweets

[@cathrinagroiss604]

I've a Sola and Priya fan for a while, but I am now SOLIDLY on the Ham camp. Those Dad jokes, and total dedication to Garlic.... gotta love him!

[@tweetthang96]

Love these four working together! Sure the competition is great but together they made a MASTERPIECE

[@mariapizzaa]

Priya worried about her place in things, but she brings the best ✨vibes✨ that would be missing without her!

[@phoebepunla1627]

Priya drinking water from a quart container just before they start is iconic lol

[@hungquach7797]

Im looking forward to this year video ❤ Excited for the couples new context

[@xingcat]

Honestly, I didn't realize how much I was looking forward to this until I saw it show up in my feed this morning, and it's absolutely one of my favorite Christmas traditions now. Please keep doing this challenge!

[@bballerryday]

I was JUST thinking about this series and just binged the other two and poof! Year 3!

[@Mgingerbread]

This was the best yet! Especially, where they each give an insight on how they're really feeling lol. Though I could watch a longer un-cut version any day. Maybe next time they can do a life sized version? 🧐 congrats to Priya & Seth 🔔

[@got2bjosh]

Strong Community vibes. The study group endlessly making dioramas. Shirley's baking know-how, Abed's extensive film and tv knowledge, Annie's perfectionism, Britta's veganism and ethical food sourcing, and Troy happy to celebrate because he wasn't allowed to as a child. Jeff trying to get out of doing any work, but then getting just as obsessed as everyone else. The Dean showing up in a themed outfit and then opportunistically brushing powdered sugar off Jeff's chest. Pierce using his wealth to cheat and have it professionally done which then saves the group from Chang who tried to sabotage their efforts. #sixseasonsandabakedown

[@jessica4656]

I come back to this video every Christmas. So good!

[@sailormari_]

came here looking for this year gingerbread showdown 😭😭

[@yvetteguigueno2063]

This is now a holiday tradition. Watching you all create is a joy!

[@wandererking]

Love. This is now a family Christmas tradition.

[@coralambert4571]

Love watching this every year!! Thanks for continuing the tradition!

[@ThatTubaGuy]

This is so great, you gotta make this into a tradition every year!

[@MayoKM]

These Christmas videos are always delightful. Nice twist with them teaming up this year.

[@zavs350]

Priya the home alone historian lmao. This is the most hilarious showdown yet

[@DeliaLee8]

I was so excited when this showed up in my feed! Loved it! So many cool ideas, fun mechanics, yummy food. Really appreciated the mellow vibe and calm, slow camera/video filming.

[@graceb8659]

HE PULLED OUT A FULL MODEL OF THE HOUSE

[@secretscarlet8249]

I really love that this is truly a Christmas tradition for all four now. 😇

[@hypnauticasleepsounds9329]

Sohla has an upcoming cook book!!!! Yes please

[@christophereric4]

omg. 🥰 thank you sohla, ham, priya, seth, and NYT Cooking. i waited to watch this until i was wrapping presents on chritmas eve and this was perfect. So fun! please continue to do these every year! 🙏❤

[@actan5]

Chills! Looking forward to the gingerbread showdown this year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Wenipoo]

Imagine, ghibli themed Gingerbread houses. Howls Moving Castle, the Spirited Away’s Bathhouse. Laputa castle in the sky

[@brennhhh]

omg yes

[@erikakrause3044]

Please keep doing this! Such a great holiday tradition!

[@lorassorkin]

This series is my favorite holiday tradition.

[@MissViVega]

id love to see a no time limit version of this. just endless detailing lol

[@vigilantcosmicpenguin8721]

This is probably the first time anyone has said the sentence, "This will be hot fudge, this will be caviar." These people have completely redefined what it means to be a gingerbread house. The world will never be the same.

[@pinkpinsofpain]

I love the collab gingerbread house! I would be all over that caviar room.

[@KRF439]

for all of the times priya said "movie accurate" you think they would have gotten the staircase right. it goes straight out the front door, producing the iconic sledding scene.

[@seanahoneywell2821]

Yaaaaay! Just yesterday, I was searching for this year’s gingerbread house and was disappointed that there wasn’t one yet. I’m so excited!

[@enba1011]

I was so looking forward to this and it did not disappoint! The chill vibes were very strong throughout and I loved the final result. Already looking forward to next years! Favourite bit: everyone going "so good" to Ham's chicken nuggets 🤣

[@cynhanrahan4012]

I have loved all of the gingerbread house competitions, but I gotta say I like this non competitive vibe even better.

[@EyeGlassTrainofMind]

I love each of these humans so darn much!

[@Genny-Zee]

Priya cooking like me raised my appreciation of her to a whole new level

[@Londonlady159]

My favourite holiday tradition ever!

[@JoeyKlu]

They did it! The madlads did it!

[@fevereddreams3805]

It gets better every single year. The best New holiday tradition IMO. Thank you so much.

[@brittaleffler]

“We have only eight hours to do this so I did a little bit of advance planning. This is our structure, complete with integrated lighting systems, a few linear actuators, some synchronous motors, and, um, some dry ice.”

[@poetdrowned]

I am so SO glad that the tradition has continued!! ❤
