The boardroom is opening its doors once again this Christmas<\/a>, as Lord Alan Sugar, Baroness Karren Brady and Mike Soutar judge two teams of hopefuls in a festive challenge.<\/p>\n

Some famous faces will be turning their hand to a seasonal challenge in Lapland this year, raising money for BBC’s Children In Need in the process.<\/p>\n

Speaking about the task, Lord Sugar said: “I think the celebs thought they were in for an easy ride, but they were wrong! Raising money for BBC Children in Need is serious business, so the candidates really need to deliver if they want to avoid ending up on my naughty list.”<\/p>\n

The Celebrity Apprentice Christmas challenge<\/h2>\n

This year, the celebrities will have to develop their own gingerbread biscuits<\/a>, as well as creating an advert and a jingle to sell the sweet treats. These will then be pitched to retailers to secure sales and raise money for charity.<\/p>\n

For the first time ever, from Friday 14th November, shoppers can pick up the biscuits made by the celebrities, with every purchase supporting children and young people across the UK.<\/p>\n
