An Ashburn family has just taken the holiday spotlight by winning ABC’s The Great Christmas Light Fight, bringing home the $50,000 grand prize and the coveted Light Fight trophy for their dazzling Christmas display.
The Horn family, residents of 21260 Rosetta Place in Ashburn, out-lit competitors from across the country with a show that featured nearly 90,000 pixel lights synchronized to an original musical score created by the family — a first in the show’s history and a key element that impressed the judges.
Judge Carter Oosterhouse praised the creative display and soundtrack, saying the combination of light and music was “unbelievable — music to my ears and to my eyes,” reported PrimeTimer. The Ashburn home’s exterior came alive with vibrant graphics, animated sequences, and a nostalgic backyard section filled with
traditional warm lights that added emotional depth to the spectacle.
Local residents and visitors have flocked to see the winning display in person. The Horns are encouraging
folks to park on the main street and walk in to help ease neighborhood traffic, with the show running nightly through December 30.
What’s more, the family is using their newfound fame as a force for good — collecting donations for several local organizations, including Loudoun Hunger Relief and the Loudoun Abused Women’s Shelter.
This win puts Ashburn on the national holiday map and highlights the creativity, community spirit, and
festive innovation happening right here in Northern Virginia. Readers can listen to the Horn Family by
ABC7 News – WJLA on their YouTube channel.
