It’s Christmas morning in the Chewed Up kitchen—and things unravel fast.
Carla Hall delivers the ultimate Christmas morning cinnamon rolls: soft, sticky, make-ahead perfection with cream cheese glaze and orange zest. Clinton Kelly paints the coziest holiday picture imaginable… before fully melting down on camera. Michael Symon tries (and fails) to keep things on track while Clinton apologizes directly to Baby Jesus.
Along the way, the trio dives into Christmas traditions, controlled vs. chaotic gift opening styles, favorite holiday albums, bagels vs. cinnamon raisin heresies, and the power of food as love language. There’s fan mail, holiday nostalgia, a Frontgate giveaway, and one of the most unhinged endings in Chewed Up history.
This episode is warm, funny, messy, and exactly what Christmas morning should feel like.
