SHOWDOWN 2021

 “There are so many holiday cookie options out there, but which holiday cookie is the best of the best ?”

We wanted to find the answer to this question, but we didn’t want to just settle it in one quick meeting. No, we took it seriously.

Over the course of eight days, we set up our first annual Holiday Cookie Tournament Showdown – a head to head seeded tournament, NCAA March Madness style, complete with pre-tournament rankings and live voting. It took eight days to crown a champion – check out the entire bracket and tournament rules in this week’s edition of The Column.

Who is coming for the crown next year?
