Ariana Grande appeared on Big Brother Reindeer Games alongside her brother Frankie Grande. She also recently performed alongside Mariah Carey for a festive holiday concert

Alongside her competitor brother Frankie Grande and their beloved Nonna, the family appeared in a holiday picture. Fans were excited to get a glimpse at their favorite pop star. Some referred to her as ‘so cute,’ as she was seen puckering her lips and giving a pouty look at the camera. She was wearing a festive headband with little menorahs.

Her grandmother and brother both donned huge smiles. Frankie wore all black, including a baseball cap. The producers likely included the picture since Frankie, Big Brother royalty, is making a return for this special edition of the show.

Big Brother Reindeer Games is a spin-off of the original show, but it is very different than the original. Rather than the competitors going through the process live, the episodes are pre-taped. The show operates less-like a 24/7 surveillance state and more like a typical reality competition show.

The competition is made up of nine previous house guests and five of them were even victors of their se asons. Strategies must shift as the show mostly focuses around a series of challenges that house guests need to overcome to win their $100,000 prize. Among them, Frankie is known for making repeat appearances in the franchise, starting with Big Brother 16 (US) and Celebrity Big Brother 18 (UK).

Ariana, his more famous sister, is getting into the holiday mood this year. In addition to her cameo, she recently had a surprise performance that left fans stunned. She joined Mariah Carey on stage in Madison Square Garden with Jennifer Hudson to perform the song Oh! Santa.

While the performance itself was a shock, fans were also taken aback by her new look. Ariana sported a very blonde hairdo, but fans felt it was far too light for her. “I’ve never hated someone being blonde so much before, that color is TERRIBLE,” wrote on fan. Another added: “This blonde looks diabolical on her please Ariana this ISN’T YOU!!”

Despite the criticism on her look, fans were thrilled to see her performing again. A fan said: “Thanks for the amazing performance tonight! JHud and Ari truly brought the Christmas spirit alive on stage with you.”
