The Mini Holiday Baking Show
In a special feature, The Mini Holiday Baking Show, now available on the brand's YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram channels, Shaq brings his signature humor to a holiday baking competition, getting literal with his liberal use of Pepsi Zero Sugar as "baking soda." The result is a sweet and surprising twist, a gingerbread-flavored cola masterpiece that leaves his rivals grasping at (candy) straws. Known for his larger-than-life personality, Shaq takes a less-than-serious approach to the challenge, bending the rules in pursuit of his self-proclaimed title of G.B.O.A.T. (Greatest Baker of All Time). Viewers can enjoy Shaq's unique baking attempts as he crafts a "Shaqalicious" gingerbread shack, infusing the competition with his creativity, humor, and (questionable) technical skills.
