ABC gave fans of The Great Christmas Light Fight an early gift this year. The network has already announced that this annual event has been renewed for season 10 which will air in late 2022. Could the 10th season be the final year? Stay tuned.
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 (albeit ones with an abundance of holiday cheer). Over the course of six episodes (shot in 2020), the duo considers those homes with occupants who take yuletide adornment to a whole new level. In the end, the winners are awarded the coveted Light Fight trophy and $50,000 in cash.
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.

For comparisons: Season eight of The Great Christmas Light Fight on ABC averaged a 0.65 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 3.52 million viewers.
Note: These are the final national ratings, including all live+same day viewing and DVR playback (through 3:00 AM). Early fast affiliate ratings (estimates) are indicated with an “*”. While these numbers don’t include further delayed or streaming viewing, they are a very good indicator of how a show is performing, especially when compared to others on the same channel. There can be other economic factors involved in a show’s fate, but typically the higher-rated series are renewed and the lower-rated ones are cancelled.
What do you think? Do you like The Great Christmas Light Fight TV series on ABC? Are you glad that it’s been renewed for a 10th season?
I actually liked the show better this year compared to the past where a lot of time was spent with huge crowds welcoming the hosts, marching bands, dancers, and other distractions that had nothing to do with their display and took up time. This season is back to simple – show the display and details of how they construct it. I don’t like that they packed all 6 episodes into a 5 day period and late hours. It was much better when it was spread out over weeks.
