Ready, set, la! Everything you need to know about the Great Christmas Bake Off 2021.
Bake Off is back, a little sooner than we might have expected, following the conclusion of the 2021 series.
We'll get not one but two festive specials this year, with the first coming on Christmas Day itself.
The stars of It's A Sin will take to the tent to show off their baking skills to judges Prue Leith and Paul Hollywood.
The award-winning five-part drama broke streaming records for All 4 when it was released in January 2021, and followed a group of gay men living through the HIV/AIDS crisis of the 1980s.
Read on for everything we know about the Great British Bake Off 2021 Christmas special.

Which celebrities will appear on Great British Bake Off 2021 Christmas special?
The cast of It's A Sin will be swapping The Pink Palace for the Bake Off tent this year, seeing if their critically acclaimed acting skills will translate to picture-perfect mince pies and stunning seasonal showstoppers.
Years & Years frontman Olly Alexander (Ritchie), Lydia West (Jill), Nathaniel Curtis (Ash) and Shaun Dooley (Ritchie's dad Clive) will all be vying for the famous Star Baker apron, and maybe even a Hollywood handshake.
Long-time judges Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith will be overseeing their festive creations, while Noel Fielding and Matt Lucas will once again be presenting proceedings.
The special was announced on Twitter, with many of the It's A Sin cast also sharing their excitement on the social media platform.
Curtis also tweeted: "It’s beginning to look a lot like… me screaming at an oven at Christmas," while Dooley tweeted: "I had such a good time doing this!"
