Whether using the signature Baileys Original Irish Cream liqueur, or the limited-edition Baileys Red Velvet, baking with Baileys evokes those timeless Holiday traditions that so many crave this time of year.

Tune in each week as the celebrities mix, measure and make a mess of their kitchens – having fun along the way.
