Local designer Holly Cellini brings holiday creativity to HGTV competition

Fayette and Coweta County designer and her team compete in the premiere of Big Bargain Holiday Showdown on Tuesday, November 10

Holly Cellini, owner of Holly Grace Design and a familiar name in seasonal decorating across Fayette and Coweta counties, will appear with her team in the premiere episode of HGTV’s new holiday competition series, Big Bargain Holiday Showdown, airing Tuesday, November 10, at 9 p.m. ET. The series is hosted by Olympic gold medalist figure skater Tara Lipinski.

Cellini’s team, Holly Jolly, includes celebrated local photographer and creative partner Michele Mabie and Cellini’s daughter, Sophia, a high school senior and one of the state’s top-ranked junior golfers. HGTV assigned Ashley Dixon as the team’s “design star,” bringing design expertise to the competition.

Teams have 48 hours and a $500 budget to transform a room into a holiday wonderland, showing how imagination and resourcefulness can make a festive impact without a large spend.

For more than 30 years, Cellini has worked as a floral designer. Through Holly Grace Design, she creates seasonal displays for homes and porches, including Christmas and fall designs. Her work has also brought a festive touch to local destinations such as The Avenue, Trilith and downtown Senoia. Her designs have appeared in magazines in both California and Georgia.

The six-episode series premieres on HGTV Tuesday, November 10, at 9 p.m. ET. The premiere challenges two design-business rivals to create their own interpretation of a White Christmas. (hgtv.com)
