A family from one of Dallas-Fort Worth’s most famous Christmas-light neighborhoods is stepping into the national spotlight: Melissa and David Loder, who present a spectacular “Elf Town” display in Plano’s Deerfield subdivision, will compete on ABC’s holiday competition show The Great Christmas Light Fight on Thursday, December 18.
The Loders will be one of four U.S. families battling for a trophy, $50,000, and major holiday-light bragging rights; show co-host Taniya Nayak is the judge.
The episode will air at 9 pm on ABC stations around the country, but unfortunately for local viewers, WFAA will pre-empt it for the Dallas Mavericks basketball game. Light Fight will stream on WFAA+ channel 8.2 at 9 pm and later on WFAA / Channel 8 at 3 am. It will be available to stream on Hulu beginning Friday, December 19…
