Marshmallows
View this page for statistics about the various Campfire Ceremonies.

Marshmallows are food items handed out by Chris in Campfire Ceremonies to represent safety from elimination in Total Drama Island, Total Drama: Revenge of the Island, Total Drama All-Stars, and Total Drama: Pahkitew Island. They are the counterparts of the Gilded Chris Awards that are present in Total Drama Action and the barf bags in Total Drama World Tour. At the Campfire Ceremony, Chris will typically hand out marshmallows to everyone present, minus the eliminated contestant. The contestant who does not receive a marshmallow must then exit the competition.

Total Drama Island[]

LastMarshmallowEver!

Owen holding the last marshmallow of Total Drama Island, symbolizing his victory, moments before swallowing it whole.

The marshmallows are introduced at the campfire ceremony in Not So Happy Campers—Part 2. In every ceremony this season except No Pain, No Game, Chris stands behind an oil drum with a plate full of marshmallows and hands them out to the safe campers.

In The Very Last Episode, Really!, the final marshmallow is given as a symbol of ultimate survival to Gwen or Owen, depending on the ending. In Owen's ending, he claims he will treasure the final marshmallow for the rest of his life before deciding to eat it, insisting that he can buy all the marshmallows he wants now.

Total Drama Action[]

009

Harold and Lindsay fighting with marshmallows as their boxing gloves.

Marshmallows are not given out as a sign of safety (having been replaced by the Gilded Chris Award) but make an appearance as boxing gloves used by Harold and Lindsay during the boxing match in Million Dollar Babies. During their match, Lindsay eats a part of Harold's marshmallow. The marshmallows are later used by Duncan to fight the bear in Mutiny on the Soundstage.

Total Drama World Tour[]

As a tribute to season one, Chris decides to hand out marshmallows during the elimination ceremony in Awwwwww, Drumheller.

Total Drama: Revenge of the Island[]

The marshmallows once again reappear as the symbol of safety this season, with a toxic marshmallow being given to the eliminated camper. The marshmallow is also seen at the start of Bigger! Badder! Brutal-er! inside a space satellite.

Total Drama All-Stars[]

Marshmallows are used as the symbol of safety at the elimination ceremonies in the first four episodes this season. From No One Eggspects the Spanish Opposition and onwards, Chris simply reveals who has been eliminated.

Total Drama: Pahkitew Island[]

Marshmallows reappear this season as the symbol of safety during elimination ceremonies. In Scarlett Fever, however, Chris pelts Scarlett with the marshmallows instead of handing them to the safe contestants. Moments after, Max is disqualified and shoved into the Cannon of Shame with Scarlett, his mouth gagged with marshmallows.

Total Drama Island (2023)[]

Priyahasthefinalmarshmallow

Priya receives the final marshmallow.

Marshmallows are used as a symbol of safety again at the elimination ceremony of every episode. However, in Caved by the Bell, Chris simply reads out the votes without giving anything to the final four since Chef accidentally left the marshmallows in the sun for too long, leading them to become a sticky sugary ball.

In Magma Cum Laude, the final marshmallow is used again as a symbol of ultimate survival. Priya receives it, thanks Chris, eats it, and cheers to everyone.
