As some viewers might be pleased to know, Season 3 of "Holiday Wars" on Food Network launched its first episode earlier this month, exciting those who have been looking forward to seeing the delicious desserts baked by skilled chefs on the series.

Fans took to Reddit earlier this fall to discuss the show's release. One user mentioned that they didn't love the previous season and hoped that the new one would have a more harmonious vibe. They wrote, "Anything has to be better than last year's! I hate when there is drama between the contestants for holiday shows. Last year everyone haaaaaated each other and it was horrible to watch!" If Food Network's "meet the teams" post is any indication, Season 3 seems promising, with the cast full of smiling faces and talented names in the food world. These nine teams are each made up of three experienced chefs competing for the grand prize of $25,000. Here's what to know about Team Here to Sleigh, featuring Jessica Martinez-Wilson, Susana Mijares, and Sally Ontiveros.
