Global Gets Festive With First-Ever Big Brother-Inspired Holiday Reality Special Big Brother Reindeer Games

During last night’s highly-anticipated Big Brother Season 25 live finale on Global, the first-ever holiday reality special Big Brother Reindeer Games was announced. This joyous Big Brother “rein-dition” is a six-episode, two-week special event airing with a two-hour premiere Monday, December 11 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Global and STACKTV in simulcast with CBS.

Yesterday during the live finale, it was unveiled that Big Brother star players Frankie Grande, Britney Haynes and Danielle Reyes “broke in” to the Big Brother House in an attempt to close the multiverse they opened that kicked off the season. Inadvertently, the trio opened the “BB Holiday Universe”, transforming the house into a winter wonderland and unleashing the hit reality show’s first holiday specialBig Brother Reindeer Games, a new game with a new set of rules and a cast of BB Legends.

Big Brother Reindeer Games kicks off when Santa invites nine Big Brother icons and former players, including someone from the most recent season, to his magical world where the “Reindeer Games” will take place. Over six action-packed holiday-themed episodes “Santa’s Elves,” Derek Xiao (S23), Tiffany Mitchell (S23), and Jordan Lloyd (S11 and S13) guide BB Legends through the most holiday-riffic, challenging and unpredictable competitions. Each episode features three competitions culminating in “Santa’s Showdown” that determines which player goes home at the end of that episode. Only four BB Legends will make it to the finale and one player with the festive fortitude will walk away with the $100,000 USD grand prize and of course, ‘save the holidays’. Houseguests will be announced at a later date.

Stay tuned for additional Global holiday programming to be announced soon.
