‘Project Runway’: Watch Christian Siriano Surprise Designers With an Unconventional Gift [EXCLUSIVE]

Project Runway has been stunting hard in Season 18. ICYMI, the first two episodes have had a double elimination, a health scare, a designer literally hiding from Christian’s critiques, and—as if all that ain’t enough—a Cats tie-in. But nothing from those first two episodes comes close to what’s coming in tonight’s installment. Bravo got all of us viewers a gift, and that gift is the unconventional materials challenge!

It’s the challenge that designers either loathe or love, and in Season 18 it is holly, it is jolly, and it is here. In this exclusive look at tonight’s Project Runway episodes, the designers receive their unconventional challenge in an unconventional way after being woken up by the sound of… sleigh bells?? Y’all, this clip has to be seen to be believed!

The unconventional challenge is a treat every single season, all the way back to Season 1 when the designers had to make elegant looks out of grocery store materials. Never forget Austin Scarlett’s corn husk dress! What kind of looks will the designers be able to pull out with only Christmas trees, menorahs, and various holiday-related items? You’ll find out tonight when Project Runway’s “Very Unconventional Holiday” airs on Bravo (yes, I made up that title, but it really works).

Project Runway airs on Thursday, December 19 at 9:30 p.m. on Bravo.
