Littler became the youngest finalist in PDC World Darts Championship history but ultimately fell at the final stage after a 7-4 defeat to Luke Humphries.
He is now back in north London and is the hot favourites for glory this year, with only two men left.
Littler himself survived a scare before Christmas against world No.62 Ryan Meikle to seal a 3-1 victory but became visibly emotional in his post-match interview.
Fortunately for the No.4 seed, he then enjoyed a mini-break before Christmas Day and returned to the oche with another battling win over Ian White in the third round.

He saw off Ryan Joyce in a 4-3 fourth-round thriller in which he was taken to a deciding set by his opponent.
And in the last eight, Littler downed his good friend Nathan Aspinall 5-2 and is now just two wins from glory.
Littler then demolished one of the world's best players, Stephen Bunting, claiming a 6-1 win.
When is Littler’s next match?
The teenage star continues his World Darts Championship campaign against Michael van Gerwen in the final.
