In addition to the program’s annual “10 Days of Giveaways” series airing this month, CTV’s THE MARILYN DENIS SHOW also heads into the holidays with The Little Chef: Family Edition culinary showdown. The Sparling and Bell families go head-to-head in a cook-off airing Wednesday, Dec. 20 at 10 a.m. ET on CTV and CTV GO. The top family will win the grand prize of a culinary trip to Tuscany, Italy. Valued at $15,000 and courtesy of The Little Potato Company, the trip includes airfare, accommodation, and an exciting culinary experience.

The Sparling and Bell families were chosen following three weeks of voting at Marilyn.ca. Thousands of votes were cast and along with cooking skill, presentation, and personality, the two families were selected from the previously announced 10 semi-finalists. The Sparling family cooked shepherd’s pie, while the Bell family made breakfast potatoes and curry.
