Two reality show legends are filming during the 2026 TV schedule, but not for another competition-related appearance. Big Brother winner Rachel Reilly and The Challenge winner Cara Maria Sorbella will both be featured in an upcoming holiday movie, and yes, it's about a reality television show. Needless to say, as a fan, I'm so pumped for this!
Both stars will play fictionalized versions of themselves in Mistletoe Mansion, a holiday story about a woman on a dating show called "The 12 Dates Of Christmas." EW reported that in the movie, Sorbella and Reilly will serve as the fictional show's hosts and will take notice when the star competitor, Ava Cleary, develops feelings for her handler, Luke Sheppard. Sorbello will push Cleary to pursue an ending fit for reality VT, while Reilly will encourage Ava to follow her heart. The movie will begin filming on January 10th, and it's being directed by Candice "Candy" Cain.
