Overview
- VOX aired the Christmas edition on December 15 at 20:15, with early streaming access available on RTL+.
- Producers reversed last year’s roles to create a new pairing of Tim Mälzer with Roland Trettl opposite Tim Raue with Sepp Schellhorn.
- Mälzer and Trettl cooked in Lech am Arlberg, while Raue and Schellhorn took on challenges in Schlanders in South Tyrol.
- Original chefs set the tasks via the show’s signature black box, featuring precise regional dishes such as venison liver terrine and brioche.
- Standout moments included Raue’s tussle with a runaway kitchen machine and a reported psychological ploy by Mälzer involving a quietly discarded ingredient.
