Season 6 of "The Great Christmas Light Fight" showcases the wildest and most spectacular Christmas displays in America.

This season, as the temperature cools down, the competition heats up when families invite us to warm up from the cold inside their homes to witness their fantastic Christmas décor for the very first time. In addition to all of the stunning inside/outside displays, the first-ever "Heavyweights" episode will showcase light shows that have grown too large for any home.
