There’s no need to worry about the Grinch cancelling this holiday tradition since The Great Christmas Light Fight has already been renewed for a seventh season for December 2019. Will the network regret that decision if the ratings drop even lower than usual? Stay tuned.
An ABC holiday tradition, The Great Christmas Light Fight, follows judges Carter Oosterhouse and Taniya Nayak as they assess the creativity and decorating skills of everyday people (albeit ones with an abundance of holiday cheer). Over the course of seven episodes (including an all-stars installment), the duo considers those homes with occupants who take yuletide adornment to a whole new level. In the end, the winners are awarded a cash prize and the coveted “Light Fight” trophy.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly in the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival.
