Once again, we don’t have to wonder if The Great Christmas Light Fight will be cancelled since the show’s already been renewed for a 12th season which will debut in late 2024. How long will this ABC holiday tradition continue? Stay tuned. *Status Update Below.
A holiday competition series, The Great Christmas Light Fight follows two judges — lifestyle expert Carter Oosterhouse and interior designer Taniya Nayak — as they assess the creativity and decorating skills of everyday people who have an abundance of holiday cheer. Throughout the six episodes (filmed in 2021), the duo considers those homes with occupants who take yuletide adornment to a whole new level. In each merry and bright episode, the Christmas classic takes viewers across the country to the most elaborate and awe-inspiring holiday displays as viewers will once again see four families face off in each episode and compete to win $50,000 and the coveted Light Fight Trophy.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s chances of staying on the air. The higher the ratings, the better the chances of survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available.

What do you think? Do you like the The Great Christmas Light Fight TV series on ABC? Should it have been renewed for a 12th season?
I enjoy watching this show, and look forward to it airing each year. I also enjoyed watching the Halloween version, which did not air this year. Let’s hope they bring it back too for 2025! Thanks to ABC for renewing the Christmas show for next year!!
