“Big Brother Reindeer Games,” the first-ever "Big Brother" holiday special, starts Monday.

Nine former "Big Brother" cast members, including winners and America's Favorite Players, will compete in a series of holiday-themed challenges as they all vie for the $100,000 grand prize. Unlike "Big Brother," the contestants won't live together in the house, as the six episodes are more focused on the challenges.

Season 23 cast members Tiffany Mitchell and Derek Xiao, and Jordan Lloyd from seasons 11 and 13 will serve as "Magical Elves," offering guidance to contestants along the way.

The mini-series debuts Monday on CBS and streams on Paramount+. The finale will air on Dec. 21.

What is 'Big Brother Reindeer Games'?

"Big Brother Reindeer Games" is a spinoff of "Big Brother." According to Variety, nine former houseguests will compete in holiday-themed competitions. They will not live in the house, nor will they vote each other out. (So it's not really "Big Brother.") There also won't be live feeds, and Julie Chen Moonves isn't the host.

Every episode has three competitions, and each competition has a showdown at the end, deciding which player is eliminated from "Reindeer Games." There will eventually be four finalists competing for $100,000.

Does 'Big Brother Reindeer Games' have live feeds?

No. The contestants are not living in the house, therefore there are no live feeds.

What channel is 'Big Brother Reindeer Games' on?

"Big Brother Reindeer Games" airs live on CBS, Paramount+ and other streaming services with live TV, such as Hulu + Live TV. Episodes are available the next day on demand on Paramount+ and various live TV streaming services.
