The fact that Priya and Seth’s first date was this picturesque first date and Sohla and Hams was walking through a cemetery was perfect 😂😂😂😂like I expect nothing else both are great dates
I love this holiday tradition because there are no winners or losers. Just two VERY different approaches to the same set of instructions. AND this year we get the added bonus of personal questions about their relationships sprinkled in!
This gives me old Bon Appetit Test Kitchen vibes with the maturity of a NYT-style documentary, which I LOVE! I'd look forward to an annual Priya and Seth vs. Sohla and Ham competition.
I remember watching this last year. Seth’s dedication to create the FallingWater residence was breath taking. My heart hurt when the structure was not completed. I am so glad that this gingerbread building challenge is back! Thanks everyone who made this possible!
Nah it's good they balance each other out. Source I'm type A married to a type b. You need the it's OK it didn't work out let me distract you with a plan b type person for every type A or they're still trying to get the first step done perfectly and nothing ever happens.
one of the very best things about this video is seeing the behind the scenes work that goes on, like seeing how the "interviews" are in the same room, or shots of camera people in the background. gives it a more homey feel rather than just manufactured
Just like last year, we get each couple making gingerbread houses that are polar opposites so that everyone wins. They're both so perfect at their respective goals. Priya and Seth had the best structure, while Sohla and Ham had the most inspired theme. Best combination of elements of the creation? Priya and Seth. Best off-script meal? Sohla and Ham. Best diorama telling a legendary story? Priya and Seth. Most extravagant pyrotechnics show? Sohla and Ham. Best snowman? Priya. Most resourceful use of beer cans? Sohla. Most wonderfully overzealous ambition? Seth. Best take on a fast food combo? Ham. Best gingerbread house? The judges are completely tied. Most adorable couple? Again, a dead tie.
That might be putting too much pressure on them, I think it’s better when this is kept fun and light. And as long as it’s fun then why not keep it going? Maybe you could personally add a family gingerbread competition to your traditions? My family has before and it’s a blast.
@@PaigeWeso You're definitely right, they've all been pretty busy for at least the past 2 years... guess I'll just loop these 2 videos until the next one comes out XD plus a family gingerbread competition sounds fun! Merry (sweet, spicy, and tasty) Christmas :D
The Brief: Gingerbread House Showdown Ham and Sohla: Amazing savoury meal, with a fun gingerbread house on the side Seth and Priya: Every sweet baked dough except gingerbread
@@cherrymate20lite24 I agree entirely. The whole time I'm thinking - does Seth have a single gay brother who just happens to live across the street from me? :P
So glad they did another one of these! Just an fyi also about pretzels, you don't need to boil them if you're using lye, you can just dip them or brush them with a lye solution so you don't have to worry as much about wrecking the shapes
this needs to be a yearly tradition! I really want to see that Home Alone house next year kids! Put Priya and Seth in charge of the structure and Sohla and Ham in charge of the interior
Please make this an annual tradition. It's just a splendid combination of all the good things. Thoughtful, silly, fun, relatable, imaginative, creative, kind, badass people doing cool things. I genuinely laughed out loud at so many moments, and also felt inspired. Cheers to all four of them! Excellent stuff! Looking forward to their combined forces for the Home Alone home next year!
Holy Moly! My jaw just slammed into the floor after seeing Priya and Seth's finished creation. I didn't think anyone could top last year's project, but this turned out amazing.
Sohla and Ham made, if I remember correctly, a savory house. Again, they are keeping with tradition, lol! Seth is incredible with the architecture experience and his patience! Priya is just amazing! She doesn’t loose her cool and is one of my favorite chefs… actually all four are my favorite chefs ❤️
I'll never get over that one of the first introductions to Seth on the channel was Priya's fridge organization video and Seth's milk habit. "How much milk do you drink?!" "That's not important."
I don't feel so bad that four professional bakers/cooks can run into as many problems as I do, but I will say... If you want to make gingerbread houses watch Erin Jean McDowell.
I really enjoy these two couples and this setup and I hope it keeps happening annually, but I'm totally with you on EJM and gingerbread. I love her soft gingerbread cookies and her whole approach to holiday gingerbread house fun!
I'm barely 2/3 in. Priya is overcome with mad laughter over a melting snow man, Seth somehow conjured a ship made of burnt waffles, Sohla is hoping for death, and Ham is hiding beer in the gingerbread house. Every bit of this is amazing.
Did Seth and Priya choose to make a boat because if Seth had to make a gingerbread building he would end up trying to recreate something like the Eiffel Tower due to sheer competitiveness?
priya and seth are so cute. they are like perfect example of a control freak person with a super chill supportive partner. they balance each other well.
These are two power couples, love them! And I love that this is becoming a Christmas tradition. You couldn't choose a better idea or better people. Keep up the good work guys 💪
Priya “Seth does this texture seem right.. to you?” Seth “no” *priya confused* “uhh did you add enough oil” Priya “yeah” Seth “did you add the pumpkin” *looks at pumpkin* “you did not add the pumpkin” *she looks at him😂* “its ok” *😂* Cuteness overload 🤍
« - How many do we need ? Did you say 10 ? - Total ? I’d love euuuuh like… 20 to 30. - WHAT !? » That made me laugh out loud. And made their dynamic even cuter.
Some really cool techniques for the jellyfish and coral, I would've never thought of them! The underwater scene turned out beautiful and lots of stuff looked tasty :D
Hooray! I can't believe it's been a year since the last one...time flies! Thanks so much for all of you for taking on this project. It is wonderful! Happy Holidays everyone!
I was watching the Try Guys’ Without A Recipe Gingerbread House recipe and was thinking of last year’s frankly ICONIC Gingerbread Showdown. I’m so glad to see a video for this year! You should make this video every year. Make this a tradition!
I love that this is back! I’d love to see more behind the scenes of making the actual gingerbread dough and why that chose that recipe for structure/flavor. Still so pleasant and entertaining!
I love Sohla & Ham so much!!! Leave it to them to also feed everyone. Plus, Sohla using a Stella Parks recipe 🎁 - my FAV pastry chef 💖💖💖 thank you for doing this again!!!
Please do the Home Alone house next year! Priya & Seth could do the structure and Sohla & Ham the interior, but only if there’s a caviar rug in there somewhere ;)
So glad to see them back again this year! Wish we got more money shots of the final builds though! I liked seeing closeups of all the individual elements.
This is one of my new favorite holiday traditions. The couples are so wonderfully matched and a joy to watch as they work together. And even though things didn’t turn out exactly as planned, there was nothing but support all around. And who knew Modelos could be so handy…
![ละลาย (LALALYE) - DAOU PITTAYA ต้าห์อู๋ พิทยา [OFFICIAL MV]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/wo6r9TgausI/mqdefault.jpg)
The comedic effect of ham saying "we're not architects" and then the scene moves into seth explaining their base structure
Major props to the editor for this entire video. It's an editing masterpiece
@@michaelacheong They know what theyre doing
Cuz Seth is literally an architect.
I love how Sohla and Ham just basically decided to feed the crew amazing food with a gingerbread house on the side.
Me too! She craved mojo potatoes, so she manifested them for everyone 😂
of course Sohla goes off script, as she does
right,,
The fact that Priya and Seth’s first date was this picturesque first date and Sohla and Hams was walking through a cemetery was perfect 😂😂😂😂like I expect nothing else both are great dates
I was looking for this comment. So funny.
I love this holiday tradition because there are no winners or losers. Just two VERY different approaches to the same set of instructions. AND this year we get the added bonus of personal questions about their relationships sprinkled in!
the winners are hopefully the crew that gets to eat it all!
Yes!!! I was thinking the same thing!
Hehe
same thinking :)
Who is the guy with gray apron
Shirley: 'Mindfulness!'
Sohla: **nods** 'Just pretend you're dead.'
Let's go Brandon! Excellent cooking!
My favorite line 😂😂
This got me
sohla's sense of humor is EVERYTHING, it's perfect 😂😂
I love Priya, she's the best. But she is a complete liability in this setting. Never change Priya.
Honestly that just makes her and Seth the ideal relationship dynamic.
@@vigilantcosmicpenguin8721 Someone needs to ground Seth a bit before he builds a lifesize nativity scene out of sourdough
Someone should tell her that she's Seth's beard.
@@fingerbottom dude no! ☠️
@@fingerbottom _ omg I thought EXACTLY the same thing!
Seth is so kind and even though you can tell it's killing him every time something goes wrong he is the most patient and lets it roll off his back.
This gives me old Bon Appetit Test Kitchen vibes with the maturity of a NYT-style documentary, which I LOVE! I'd look forward to an annual Priya and Seth vs. Sohla and Ham competition.
“Did you add the pumpkin?”
(Priya laughs)
“It’s ok”
So cuteeee!!
love how sohla and ham made a regular (but very cute) house just so they could sneak in making a whole ass feast
I remember watching this last year. Seth’s dedication to create the FallingWater residence was breath taking. My heart hurt when the structure was not completed. I am so glad that this gingerbread building challenge is back! Thanks everyone who made this possible!
And Seth hasn't lost that wonderful ambition.
Seth and Priya baking together is the Type A vs Type B chaos that I need in my life, but for both of their sakes I hope they don’t do this too often
Nah it's good they balance each other out. Source I'm type A married to a type b. You need the it's OK it didn't work out let me distract you with a plan b type person for every type A or they're still trying to get the first step done perfectly and nothing ever happens.
one of the very best things about this video is seeing the behind the scenes work that goes on, like seeing how the "interviews" are in the same room, or shots of camera people in the background. gives it a more homey feel rather than just manufactured
my favorite part of these type of videos is it’s so clear they decided on methods without testing them once. extremely relatable. I love it
Just like last year, we get each couple making gingerbread houses that are polar opposites so that everyone wins. They're both so perfect at their respective goals.
Priya and Seth had the best structure, while Sohla and Ham had the most inspired theme.
Best combination of elements of the creation? Priya and Seth.
Best off-script meal? Sohla and Ham.
Best diorama telling a legendary story? Priya and Seth.
Most extravagant pyrotechnics show? Sohla and Ham.
Best snowman? Priya.
Most resourceful use of beer cans? Sohla.
Most wonderfully overzealous ambition? Seth.
Best take on a fast food combo? Ham.
Best gingerbread house? The judges are completely tied.
Most adorable couple? Again, a dead tie.
Can we make this a Christmas tradition? I already cannot imagine a holiday season without these amazing people.
That might be putting too much pressure on them, I think it’s better when this is kept fun and light. And as long as it’s fun then why not keep it going?
Maybe you could personally add a family gingerbread competition to your traditions? My family has before and it’s a blast.

@@fionawang7296 Merry christmas to you too!
I never tire of hearing Sohla laugh. Great job everyone.
Me either. She is wonderful. She needs to wear a mask though, the omicron is here.
I loved the whole video, but Priya's saga with the snowman might be my favorite part.
The snowman was a real breakout character in this.
I laughed so much at the nougat snowman!
I hope they do this every year! What a fun bunch of people. I enjoy the chaos. Thanks to everyone involved!
Agreed but they need to a birthday cake competition in June or something. cos I can’t wait till next December till their next challenge.
I'm so glad NYTC listened and made this a tradition.
I love the Home Alone house idea. Put 'em all on one epic team next year!
NY Times Cooking: Gingerbread Rematch!
Ham: The one thing we'll have is good fried chicken
I love how they just do whatever they want in industrial quantities lol
Are we not gonna talk about how Priya and Seth didn’t use a single piece of ginger bread tho??
Priya: I wonder what Sohla and Ham's first date is
Sohla: It was romantic!
Ham: Cemetery and pizza
had me in stitches for 10 mins lmao
It's so wholesome to watch the dynamics between both teams. The most peaceful duel in history there is
I love them all! Priya's idea and Ham's saying to do it together for next year is amazing!
The Brief: Gingerbread House Showdown
Ham and Sohla: Amazing savoury meal, with a fun gingerbread house on the side
Seth and Priya: Every sweet baked dough except gingerbread
Seth is a handsome architect who bakes. Kudos, Priya. Kudos.
I'm sure Priya is a gift too but the whole time I was thinking just that, like damn he has it all
@@cherrymate20lite24 I agree entirely. The whole time I'm thinking - does Seth have a single gay brother who just happens to live across the street from me? :P
@@obhatti back of the line, Mary
@@obhatti hes the gay one lol
@@an.dr.16561 aren’t they actually a couple?
Seth seems so much more natural on camera now. Glad he’s more comfy and letting his personality shine.
"This is *VERY* squid game." - Sohla, not lying about cutting gingerbread as it hardens.
Priya at 17:01 : Squid game level 1000 final boss cookie.
I thought I couldn't love Sohla and Ham any more than I already did, and then I heard about their first date.
This needs to be an annual thing!! Always love seeing what they bake and cook up
So glad they did another one of these!
Just an fyi also about pretzels, you don't need to boil them if you're using lye, you can just dip them or brush them with a lye solution so you don't have to worry as much about wrecking the shapes
Ah thats very useful to know!
Ham needs to do a video on how to make all the food in the episode.
I need to know how to make Mo-Jo's b/c the nearest Shakey's is two hours away.
It's almost December, so I'm here to remind Ham, Sohla, Priya and Seth about their home alone ginger bread house.
I would love to see a Seth vs. Claire Saffitz video. Imagine the amount of neurosis and anxiety in the video 😂😂😂
This brings together so much of my interests- Baking, Architecture, the New York Times, TH-cam, Solha and all of you. Watching while 3D modeling!
this needs to be a yearly tradition! I really want to see that Home Alone house next year kids! Put Priya and Seth in charge of the structure and Sohla and Ham in charge of the interior

"How much milk do you drink?!"
"That's not important."
Ham & Sohla's first date!! So quirky, weird, and cute. I love it.
I don't feel so bad that four professional bakers/cooks can run into as many problems as I do, but I will say... If you want to make gingerbread houses watch Erin Jean McDowell.
I really enjoy these two couples and this setup and I hope it keeps happening annually, but I'm totally with you on EJM and gingerbread. I love her soft gingerbread cookies and her whole approach to holiday gingerbread house fun!
Take a look at Ann Reardon's annual gingerbread house on How To Cook That, she is amazing.
Sohla using beer cans to support the walls of the house… that’s absolutely something my dad would do
If we get another gingerbread showdown this year I really want to see Sohla and Priya team up against Ham and Seth!!!!
OMG Genius!🤯
Next year I just want to see architect vs architect. Give them some gingerbread and icing, no planning in advance, see what they come up with.
I'm barely 2/3 in. Priya is overcome with mad laughter over a melting snow man, Seth somehow conjured a ship made of burnt waffles, Sohla is hoping for death, and Ham is hiding beer in the gingerbread house. Every bit of this is amazing.
And now the house is on fire. Gold.
Did Seth and Priya choose to make a boat because if Seth had to make a gingerbread building he would end up trying to recreate something like the Eiffel Tower due to sheer competitiveness?
I imagine that's why the idea of the Home Alone house was nixed. Seth would probably be too focused on making sure the building is up to code.
The bottom line is wear a mask people!! You put us at risk bc you want to show your faces on TH-cam??!?
Life size Eiffel Tower.
@@vigilantcosmicpenguin8721 Lol, I can imagine him just measuring the distance between the candycane "studs" and the pitch of the stairs.
Is it competitiveness if Sohla and Ham DGAF? Or is it just perfectionism?
This is so much fun to watch. I am amazed at how calm everyone is.
LOVED hearing the first date stories lol all of them are so cute
Priya's laugh when her snowman starts melting is priceless! Thank you for entertaining me and inspiring me - I love you all!!!
Someone grant Seth his own baking show asap
Everything he makes is based off of architectural integrity 😂😂
priya and seth are so cute. they are like perfect example of a control freak person with a super chill supportive partner. they balance each other well.
Ham is absolutely right...The 4 of them should team up and make something inconceivable.
YESSS TO THEM MAKING THE HOME ALONE HOUSE ALL TOGETHER NEXT YEAR PLSSS
They absolutely have to do this now. It's the only worthy follow-up.
THANK YOU! I have been waiting all year for this!! This has to be an Annual tradition, right??
Please say yes!
These are two power couples, love them! And I love that this is becoming a Christmas tradition. You couldn't choose a better idea or better people. Keep up the good work guys 💪
I’m the nougat snowman, deteriorating more every time we see it
Yeah, same. Completely falling apart but still adorable.
Priya “Seth does this texture seem right.. to you?”
Seth “no” *priya confused* “uhh did you add enough oil”
Priya “yeah”
Seth “did you add the pumpkin”
*looks at pumpkin* “you did not add the pumpkin” *she looks at him😂* “its ok” *😂*
Cuteness overload 🤍
This video is wonderful because it’s not really a competition, it’s just watching professionals do what they’re good at
I cannot wait for the home alone house next year. NYT Cooking, make it happen please!!! These 2 couples are so endlessly charismatic and entertaining
« - How many do we need ? Did you say 10 ?
- Total ? I’d love euuuuh like… 20 to 30.
- WHAT !? »
That made me laugh out loud. And made their dynamic even cuter.
This is the greatest new holiday tradition, I love all four of them
the hubbies are totes adorable in exactly diametrically opposed ways.
20:12 the nougat snowman slowly sinking and "melting" is so cute!!
I’m so glad they did a sequel! This series is honestly some of my favorite TH-cam videos for the whole year!
Some really cool techniques for the jellyfish and coral, I would've never thought of them! The underwater scene turned out beautiful and lots of stuff looked tasty :D
Hooray! I can't believe it's been a year since the last one...time flies! Thanks so much for all of you for taking on this project. It is wonderful! Happy Holidays everyone!
Modelo being a merry Christmas piñata was genius.
Love everyone's strengths and personalities coming through on this annual tradition.
I love watching these four work together and have fun. I can't wait till next year's home alone Collab.
This is my new favorite holiday tradition and these people are all magnificent in different, amazing ways.
I just completely LOST IT when the house was on fire at the end
Always love to see Priya and Sohla in the same video
I was watching the Try Guys’ Without A Recipe Gingerbread House recipe and was thinking of last year’s frankly ICONIC Gingerbread Showdown. I’m so glad to see a video for this year! You should make this video every year. Make this a tradition!
Sohla's striking optimism is giving me life! Thank you, Sohla!
I love that this is back! I’d love to see more behind the scenes of making the actual gingerbread dough and why that chose that recipe for structure/flavor. Still so pleasant and entertaining!
I was just thinking about this the other day wondering if there would be a rematch! Thanks NYT, Sohla, Ham, Priya and Seth!
I am so happy you did this again this year! Please do the home alone house with the 4 of you next year! So much fun.
Loved Sohla’s saved by the bell vibe gingerbread house, that plus the fried chicken, pizza, and potatoes was 💯
SO glad to see the rematch! I love this! Hope to see this next year too!
Hope to see a new episode of this one this year! Can’t wait! ❤
Yes! The four of you doing the, "Home Alone House," would be AMAZING! This was so fun. I enjoyed last year's as well. 😁
I can't believe it's been a year since the last one! I love these so much
I love Sohla & Ham so much!!! Leave it to them to also feed everyone. Plus, Sohla using a Stella Parks recipe 🎁 - my FAV pastry chef 💖💖💖 thank you for doing this again!!!
Never stop doing/filming these. Please and thank you.
I love them both! Home Alone!!! I can't wait for next year.
Please do the Home Alone house next year! Priya & Seth could do the structure and Sohla & Ham the interior, but only if there’s a caviar rug in there somewhere ;)
So glad to see them back again this year! Wish we got more money shots of the final builds though! I liked seeing closeups of all the individual elements.
Sohla coming through with the Shakey's nostalgia 😭💗
Sohla: "It is very very squid game, but you dont die, you just get embarrassed at the end."
The cemetery story is so on brand
They're back!!!!! I would love more of them!
This is one of my new favorite holiday traditions. The couples are so wonderfully matched and a joy to watch as they work together. And even though things didn’t turn out exactly as planned, there was nothing but support all around. And who knew Modelos could be so handy…
I genuinely look forward to this every year. Love, love, love them. ❤
here rewatching in early Dec 2023 in hopes of getting another soon 😊🫶
I love watching these 4 throughout the year on Instagram and TH-cam, so this combo is always epic!
"Just pretend you're dead" is the most Sohla statement. I love it.
Priya's melty snowman sums up 2021 perfectly.
This video was wonderful. Proper holiday cheer.
I seriously loved this. Hope they do it again.
Luv when Ham is in the mix!
