The official synopsis for LEGO Masters: Celebrity Holiday Bricktacular reads,

It continues,
"Fan-favorite builders from past seasons will pair up with the celebrity guests to form teams, all working together to compete in jaw-dropping holiday-themed challenges that will make the contestants’ faces redder than Rudolph’s nose."
Episode 2 of LEGO Masters: Celebrity Holiday Bricktacular showcased the teams competing against each other to bag a $10,000 cash prize for a charity of their choice. The challenge for this episode was titled Sleigh It! Each team had to build a massive sleigh that would hold the most weight while balancing between two holiday homes.
This episode was a hit among fans since it was a redemption challenge for Mel Brown. Two years ago, when Mel appeared on LEGO Masters, the same challenge sent him home after his sleigh held the lowest amount of weight. He was in it to win in this episode alongside Leslie Jordan, his teammate.
Luckily, his sleigh held up to 320 pounds before falling apart. This made him emotional. Mel claimed that this challenge had haunted him since his last elimination, and he was glad he got the redemption he was yearning for.
