In aid of BBC Children in Need, there will be two celebrity Christmas specials with 12 famous faces taking to the boardroom.
Viewers can expect Lord Sugar to call upon Santa Claus for help. The celebrity candidates are split into two groups and sent to Lapland, the official home of Santa, to develop their own gingerbread biscuits.
The celebrities will have to create the own biscuit and market their product by making an advert and a jingle.
Both teams will then have to pitch their creations to retailers to help secure those all-important sales.

“I think the celebs thought they were in for an easy ride, but they were wrong! Raising money for BBC Children in Need is serious business, so the candidates really need to deliver if they want to avoid ending up on my naughty list.”
