Who said you can't be festive on a DIY budget?
Olympic figure skater Tara Lipinski is set to host a Christmas decorating bargain competition show on HGTV dubbed "Big Bargain Holiday Showdown."
The show will have two teams create a holiday-themed room inside their home without breaking the bank. The participants will be given $500 and 48 hours to complete the challenge.
