"The Great Christmas Light Fight" is a new competition series in which 20 families from across America will decorate their homes to the extreme for Christmas - in ways that would certainly make even Clark Griswold envious - with a total of $250,000 in prizing ($50,000 won each week).

In the first Christmas lights competition of its kind for television, 4 families will compete each week to transform their homes for the holidays.
