Here's the Full Cast of 'Big Brother: Reindeer Games'

The cast for 'Big Brother Reindeer Games'

It's only been a month since we had Big Brother in our lives, with Jag Bains mounting a history-making win on the 25th season. But the reality summer staple is back with a brand new winter look, as it revealed the first two alumni contestants of the new spinoff Big Brother Reindeer Games.

Reindeer Games will involve nine previous Big Brother houseguests--including one from the recently-wrapped season 25--receiving an invitation from Santa to compete in a brand-new game. Over six installments, they'll play in a variety of holiday-themed competitions. Each episode features three challenges, culminating in “Santa’s Showdown” which determines which player goes home at the end of that episode. The competition will winnow until four Big Brother legends remain. In the finale, one player will walk away with Santa's blessing, and a $100,000 grand prize to boot.

Check out below to find out the full cast. Big Brother Reindeer Games premieres with a special two-hour episode on Monday, December 11 from 8:00-10:00 p.m. ET/PT.

Big Brother Reindeer Games cast

Britney Haynes

Seasons: 12 & 14
Age: 36
Occupation: Real estate agent
Residence: Tulsa, OK

Considered one of the funniest houseguests in Big Brother history, Britney was the final victim of the infamous "Brigade" alliance in season 12, where she won America's Favorite Houseguest. She returned two seasons later as a coach-turned-player, and was blindsided yet again in the infamous "Dan's Funeral." Britney also raced alongside Janelle Pierzina in The Amazing Race 31.

Cameron Hardin

Season: 25
Age: 34
Occupation: Stay-at-home dad
Residence: Eastman, GA

Cameron just left our screens a month ago. One of the biggest competition beasts of the season, he won a number of clutch challenges, including one to return to the house. He got eliminated in ninth place and won America’s Favorite Houseguest for the season.

Cody Calafiore

Seasons: 16 & 22
Age: 32
Occupation: Software sales rep
Location: Howell, NJ

Cody ruled season 16 of Big Brother as part of the Detonators majority. But his true alliance was with Derrick Levasseur. In the end, he made one of the worst decisions in the show's history, choosing to take mastermind Derrick to the Final Two, and losing. He returned for redemption six seasons later, where he remained in absolute control of the all-star house from the beginning. And, in the end, he finally got his win, unanimous at that.

Danielle Reyes

Seasons: 3 & 7
Age: 51
Occupation: Real estate manager
Location: San Francisco, CA

Representing old school on Reindeer Games, Danielle is considered one of the best players to never win Big Brother. She ran the house in season 3 with secret alliance partner Jason Guy and made it all the way to the Final Two. But her Diary Room confessionals turned off the jury, who denied her the win. Danielle was a lock to return for the first all-stars season, where she made it all the way to sixth place before being evicted by her closest ally.

Frankie Grande

Season: 16
Age: 40
Occupation: Actor
Location: Los Angeles, CA

As a Broadway actor, Frankie brought the theatrics to season 16 of Big Brother. As the brother of Ariana Grande, the "social media mogul" kept his family secret while making a name for himself in the house. He was part of the majority, a member of the undercover "Team America" that did audience-voted tasks, and holds the record for most Head of Household wins in a season with 5. Unfortunately, that made Frankie a huge threat, and he was evicted in fifth place. Frankie also competed on Celebrity Big Brother in the U.K. in 2016, where he came in sixth.

Josh Martinez

Season: 19
Age: 29
Occupation: Content director
Location: Miami, FL

Josh is one of the most controversial winners in Big Brother history. After a season of emotional breakdowns, shouting matches, and pots and pans-backed circus music, he made it to the Final Two against the season's mastermind Paul Abrahamian. But Paul had betrayed too many allies on the jury, giving Josh the surprise win. He has kept busy on reality TV since then, appearing on six seasons of MTV's The Challenge.

Nicole Franzel

Seasons: 16, 18 & 22
Age: 31
Occupation: Boutique director
Location: Ubly, MI

Nicole holds the record for most combined days spent in the Big Brother house at a whopping 255 days. She was the quirky underdog in her first season, even winning her way back into the house after being evicted. She came back two years later where she was able to play an under-the-radar, yet consistent game. After 99 days, she edged out a victory, becoming the first woman to ever beat a man in the Final Two on American Big Brother. Nicole then came back as one of only two winners for season 22. She once again made it all the way to finale night, only to get backstabbed in third by Cody. Nicole also appeared on The Amazing Race 31 with her now-husband (and fellow season 18 houseguest) Victor Arroyo.

Taylor Hale

Season: 24
Age: 38
Occupation: Motivational speaker
Location: Detroit, MI

One of the most popular houseguests in recent memory, Taylor has one of the best stories of any Big Brother winner. The season 24 contestant went from nearly being the first one eliminated to surviving multiple instances of verbal harassment. Against the odds, she not only made it to the end, but won. She became the first Black woman to win an American civilian season, and the first winner to also win America’s Favorite Houseguest.

Xavier Prather

Season: 23
Age: 29
Occupation: Attorney
Location: Milwaukee, WI

Xavier was all about working undercover on Big Brother 23. He lied about his job as an attorney, saying he was a bartender. And he ran the season as part of the "Cookout" alliance, one of the most dominant coalitions in the show's history. Even when the Cookout was the only group left, Xavier used key bonds and clutch competition wins to make his way to the Final Two, where he became the first Black winner in American Big Brother history unanimously.
