Like the North Star itself, the Hazard Gingerbread House in Highlands Ranch has attracted a lot of attention over the years. It has been featured in local, national and international news articles and broadcasts (including The Denver Post). Now it takes the spotlight on network TV.

The house, at 10221 Fairgate Way, will compete on ABC’s primetime holiday special “The Great Christmas Light Fight,” with hosts Taniya Nayak and Carter Oosterhouse, on Sunday Dec. 3.

“The series features four families each week as they transform their homes for the holidays, in hopes of winning the $50,000 prize and the coveted Light Fight trophy,” ABC said.

House owner Walt Hazard has been decorating his home with 20,000 red, white and green lights, twinkling stars and snowflakes, and much more for going on 20 years. “It takes him 125 hours and he starts the day after Halloween,” The Denver Post wrote in 2015.
