It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas, especially if you’re anywhere near the homes of the Laaksos, McCarty-Williamses, Hetheringtons, or Kittells. These four families are transforming their properties into winter wonderlands, vying for luminous glory (and $50,000) on the third episode of The Great Christmas Light Fight. This season, the competition is fierce, with each family bringing a unique brand of holiday cheer—and enough kilowatt-hours to illuminate a small town—to the table.
Judge Taniya Nayak has the unenviable task of discerning which display reigns supreme. Will it be the Laaksos’ synchronized light show, the McCarty-Williamses’ whimsical character creations, the Hetheringtons’ traditional tableau, or the Kittells’ technologically advanced spectacle? The criteria, as always, are a blend of design ingenuity, festive spirit, and sheer, unadulterated Christmas-y-ness. This isn’t just about stringing up a few strands of lights; it’s about creating an immersive experience that celebrates the joy of the holiday season.
In this, the twelfth season of The Great Christmas Light Fight, the stakes are high, and the pressure is on. The pursuit of the Light Fight trophy is a serious business, with families investing countless hours and resources to outshine one another. But beyond the competition, there’s a sense of community and shared passion for the holidays that makes the show a heartwarming spectacle. Viewers can expect a visual feast of twinkling lights, elaborate decorations, and festive cheer. Who will emerge victorious? Tune in to find out.
The Great Christmas Light Fight airs Thursdays at 8:00 PM on ABC.
