Filming and big $$$ prizes await!

Selected families will film their light displays in November 2024, ensuring ample time to capture the magic of the season. The winning episodes will then air during the 2025 Christmas season on ABC, bringing their festive spirit to millions of homes across the country.

Each episode features four families competing for the ultimate Christmas lighting glory. The winning family in each episode walks away with a life-changing prize: a whopping $50,000 and the coveted Light Fight trophy, a symbol of their lighting mastery.

The Great Christmas Light Fight has become a cherished holiday tradition for many viewers. Originally titled "Lights, Camera, Christmas!" during development, the show premiered on ABC in December 2013. The program typically airs as a seasonal miniseries, with two-hour episodes shown over three consecutive Mondays in the lead-up to Christmas. It's become a staple of ABC's "25 Days of Christmas" programming lineup, a festive block showcasing heartwarming holiday content.

After a successful 11-season run, The Great Christmas Light Fight was renewed for a twelfth season in November 2023, demonstrating its enduring popularity. The show's format is simple yet captivating. Each episode features elaborate light displays created by families and groups. Producers carefully select these contestants beforehand, ensuring a diverse range of lighting styles and themes. The displays are then judged based on three key criteria:

  1. Use of Lights: This category evaluates the creativity, scale, and overall impact of the lighting display.
  2. Overall Design: Judges assess the cohesiveness of the display, including its layout, props, and any unique elements incorporated into the design.
  3. Christmas Spirit: This category goes beyond aesthetics, focusing on the heart and warmth conveyed by the display. Does it capture the magic of the season and evoke a sense of holiday cheer?

Whether you're a maestro of twinkling lights or a sculptor of dazzling figurines, The Great Christmas Light Fight is your chance to showcase your holiday spirit and creative talent on a national stage. This is a unique opportunity to share your family's traditions with the world and potentially win a life-changing prize.
