While the original event only aired as a special episode of AEW's flagship program, Wednesday Night Dynamite , [1] the 2021 event expanded it to a two-part event, with the second part airing as a special episode of Friday Night Rampage (although in 2021, Rampage aired on Saturday instead of its usual Friday slot). [2] The 2023 event was then expanded to a three-part event, with the third night airing as a special episode of Saturday Night Collision , AEW's third weekly program that launched in June 2023. [3]

For the 2024 event, Holiday Bash was reduced back to two parts, airing as Dynamite and Rampage due to that week's episode of Collision airing as a different special called Christmas Collision. The event was held on December 18, 2024, from the Entertainment & Sports Arena in Washington, D.C.. Dynamite aired live on TBS while Rampage was taped the same night and aired on tape delay on December 20 on TNT. [4]
