Hello everyone,
A TV presenter and a guest are cooking on a TV show.
SADIE: Okay, good I have to warn you though, I can't even wrap a Christmas present.
JULIEANNA: I can't either and it doesn't have to be pretty as long as it tastes good
SADIE: Oh, well then, **you're on** sister.
JULIEANNA: That's gonna look so pretty, it's gonna be fine, okay,
Thank you.

if person A challenges person B to do something, and person B accepts the challenge, they can say "you're on" = "the challenge is on" = "let's do this".

I accept the bet.
In the USA, when one person says, "You're on" it is usually preceded by some sort of bet. What this term means here is, I accept the bet and let us now see who wins.
I assume the previous conversation had to do with who could cook the best Christmas cookies or some such.
