Chewed UP

Holiday Cookie Swap | It Almost Broke Clinton

19 Dec 2025

Description

It’s six days before Christmas, the kitchen is freezing, the heater is broken, and somehow the Chewed Up crew thought this was the perfect moment for a cookie swap. Bold move.Clinton Kelly, Carla Hall, and Michael Symon dive headfirst into one of the most dangerous holiday traditions known to humankind: trading cookies. Fans submitted recipes, the hosts picked their favorites, and each brought a deeply personal cookie to the table—Michael’s nostalgic pignoli cookies, Carla’s soft-and-chewy lemon ginger crinkle cookies, and Clinton’s classic chocolate-dipped butter cookies.What follows is a masterclass in why live cooking plus cold temperatures plus piping bags equals chaos. Clinton battles frozen dough, frozen eggs, and his own sanity. Carla calmly explains technique while finishing cookies like a professional. Michael thrives in the disorder, introduces an on-the-fly Christmas Cookie edition of Chew It or Screw It, and watches Clinton unravel in real time.Along the way, the trio debates overrated Christmas movies, controversial cookie opinions, internet comments that should’ve stayed in drafts, and why cookie swaps are emotionally risky. The episode ends with a massive Goldbelly fan giveaway, proving that even when everything goes sideways, Chewed Up still delivers.Holiday spirit: present.Execution: questionable.Entertainment value: extremely high.👉 Grab the full recipe + more at: https://www.chewedupshow.com/recipes⏱️ Timestamps 00:00 – Cold open chaos & cat-on-the-counter accusations01:00 – Cookie swap explained (and immediately regretted)03:30 – Fan cookie submissions + holiday food nostalgia06:30 – Clinton starts butter cookies (mistakes begin)08:30 – Frozen egg yolk incident11:00 – Frontgate sponsor callout14:00 – Christmas Cookie Chew It or Screw It18:00 – Carla finishes lemon ginger crinkle cookies22:00 – Clinton pipes cookies under extreme stress24:00 – Chocolate dipping, sprinkles, and betrayal26:00 – Cookie tasting & swap reactions28:00 – Controversial Christmas cookie opinions30:30 – Overrated Christmas movies debate31:30 – Goldbelly fan giveaway winners33:00 – Wrap-up and holiday sendoff🙌 Special Thanks to Our SponsorsFrontgate → Premium home, kitchen, and entertaining essentials — including Michael Symon’s collection featured on the show.https://www.frontgate.comCasamara Club → Botanical leisure sodas for mindful sipping without the booze.https://www.casamaraclub.comFreshDirect → Fresh groceries delivered straight to your door.https://www.freshdirect.comCanopy by Hilton → A lifestyle hotel brand by Hilton that delivers a local-first experience.https://www.hilton.com/en/canopy🏡 Production CreditsKitchen Designed by Anthony Carrino → https://anthonycarrino.comProduced by Simple Alien → https://www.simplealien.com/Camera, Audio and Crew provided by TV Boy → https://tvboynyc.com/🎙️ About Chewed UpThree lifestyle icons reunite with zero filter, strong opinions, and even stronger flavors.
