Pillsbury Bake-Off Contest 2024: Win $50000 Cash for Free!

The holidays are all about family, tradition, and of course, delicious food. This year, Pillsbury invites you to share the holiday dishes that make your celebrations unforgettable. Join hosts Mama Kelce and the Pillsbury Doughboy in the Pillsbury Bake-Off™: Holiday Family Favorites Contest and showcase your very best holiday staples for a chance to fill your pocket with an extra $50,000 in cash.

The contest is searching for cherished family recipes that bring everyone together—dishes that take less than 30 minutes to prepare, use 10 or fewer ingredients (including Pillsbury products), and most importantly, create lasting holiday memories.

What are you waiting for? Share your best recipe along with a heartfelt story about what makes your dish special to you and your family, and you could win the Grand Prize of $50,000. This is your opportunity to share your beloved holiday tradition with the world—and maybe even start a new one. Enter today!
