Reality Stars Unite for Holiday Rom-Com
23 Dec
Summary
- Two reality competition veterans will star in a holiday rom-com.
- The film, Mistletoe Mansion, is a meta-comedy about a fake reality show.
- Filming for the movie is set to begin on January 10th, 2026.
Reality television stars Sorbello and Reilly are set to star together in a holiday romantic comedy film titled Mistletoe Mansion. This meta-comedy unfolds within a fake reality show, "The 12 Dates of Christmas," where the two actors will portray fictionalized versions of themselves as the show's hosts. Their characters clash over the show's direction as the bachelorette develops feelings for a crew member.
Directed and written by Candice "Candy" Cain, Mistletoe Mansion begins filming on January 10th, 2026. Sorbello, known for her multiple wins on The Challenge, and Reilly, a Big Brother champion, bring their reality TV backgrounds to their roles. Reilly's character is inspired by her own "showmance" with husband Brendon Villegas on Big Brother.
Sorbello, who has won two seasons of The Challenge, and Reilly, a Big Brother season 13 winner, are lending their talents to this unique project. The film promises a blend of holiday cheer and the dramatic tension often found in reality television, explored through a scripted narrative.
