HGTV’s Erin and Ben Napier Tease What’s to Come in ‘Home Town’ Season 10: ‘It’s a Really Special One’ (Exclusive)

Erin and Ben Napier, stars of HGTV’s Home Town, are giving Us Weekly an exclusive look into the show’s tenth season.

“We’re almost finished filming this season, and it’ll start airing in January,” Ben, 42, told Us on November 7. “There are some really cool episodes coming up. We’re going to be doing the maternity wing at the hospital where Erin was born and our girls were born.”

“It’s a really special one. [We’re] making it feel homey. So cool,” Erin, 40, seconded.

Ben and Erin met during college in 2004 and married in 2008. They share two daughters: Helen, 7, and Mae, 4. Home Town first aired in January 2016, chronicling the Napiers’ lives in Laurel, Mississippi, as they restore historic properties. Erin is the design-wiz, while Ben tackles more of the woodworking and building responsibilities. Throughout the show’s nearly decade-long run, the Napiers have grown a loyal fan base.

Ben told Us that there will be some familiar faces on this season of the show.

“We’ve got some returning customers,” he said.

“Oh yeah! Family,” Erin followed up.

When the Napiers spoke to Us earlier this month, they opened up about their special and memorable holiday traditions they participate in with their girls. A big family tradition for them is attending a church service on Christmas Eve.

“This is our girls’ favorite thing — which I feel like a win as a family,” Ben told Us. “They both talk about on Christmas Eve, we go to our church, we have a candlelight service and it’s very simple, it’s very short. Then they [get to hold candles in the dark].”

He continued, “They get to hold fire but it’s beautiful. It’s a really beautiful service. They never forget it. They talk about it. And then we go home and we have fettuccine alfredo and it’s a very simple night that transcends and means more to them than anything else.”

It was announced in August that on top of a new season of Home Town airing in January 2026, the Napiers were also getting another spinoff series titled, Home Town: Inn This Together.

“The renovation experts, who have successfully revived many outdated homes and historical locations in their small town of Laurel, Mississippi, will now join forces with their family and friends Jim, Mallorie and Josh to restore the dilapidated 1930 Kress building in downtown Laurel,” read the synopsis. “The trio believe the 25,000-square-foot space will be the perfect setting for a hotel, food venue and storefront, but they’ll need Ben and Erin’s magic touch to make their dream a reality.”

Ben and Erin also let Us into some of the Christmas morning traditions they share with Jim and Mallorie.

“My best friend, Mallorie, married my first cousin, Jim, and we’ve always lived right by each other. Our girls have grown up this way,” Erin told Us. “Every Christmas morning, we get up and [get together].”

“Mallorie makes homemade donuts,” she continued. “I bring the breakfast casserole and whoever hosts has to have the fruit tray, too. And we do a big breakfast and the kids bring their toys and show them off and play with them together and we have a really big, fun brunch. We invite the grandparents too.”
