HGTV Introduces the Most Festive Holiday Home Decorating Series

Olympic gold medalist figure skater, television personality and sports broadcaster Tara Lipinski will challenge Christmas fanatics to create Yuletide magic on a dime in HGTV’s new competition series Big Bargain Holiday Showdown, premiering on HGTV Tuesday, November 10 at 9|8c.

“I’ve spent my whole life being judged on ice,” says Tara. “Now I’m trading the ice for a whole new type of winter competition to prove you don’t need a Santa-sized budget to make some serious holiday magic.”

What Is Big Bargain Holiday Showdown About?

In each episode, two teams of friends, family and neighbors will battle to prove who has the most holiday spirit without blowing their shoestring budget. With the help of DIY experts Ashley Dixon and Clinton Tharp, the teams will have just 48 hours and $500 each to transform one room in their home into a stunning winter-themed wonderland using ingenious design hacks, custom projects and smart spending. Each deck-the-halls duel will be judged by holiday artist, designer and Glitterville Studios founder Stephen Brown and interior designer and 37th Burleigh founder Pelar Fullilove. The judges will then crown a Christmas champ and award bragging rights, a cash prize and a surprise from Santa.

In the first episode, Tara will challenge two friendly design business rivals to test their design prowess and dream up their own White Christmas. They’ll go head-to-head to transform their homes into sparkling frosty dreamlands with glittering crafts, bargain finds and plenty of merry magic.

As the season continues, the teams will face-off in Christmas-themed clashes including:

• 12 Days of Christmas
• Naughty and Nice
• Santa’s Workshop
• Retro Christmas
• Tartan Christmas
