Remember 12 Dates of Christmas? The reality dating show that promised holiday romance? It was cheesy, predictable, and completely addictive.
But where are those mistletoe-seeking singles now? Let's dive into the ultimate 12 Dates of Christmas reunion... sort of.
Season 1: Austria Adventures
Chad Savage
Ah, Chad. The ski instructor with the…interesting…hair choices. Anyone actually remember him? He mostly seemed to spend his time looking windswept and confused.
Rumor has it he's back on the slopes, teaching tourists how to pizza. No, not the food. The skiing technique! Good for him.
Faith Wright
Faith chose Garrett, but we all know how *those* reality TV relationships usually go. Shockingly, it didn’t last.
She seems to be living her best life, judging by her Instagram. Lots of travel and even more gorgeous outfits. We love to see it.
Garrett Marcantel
Speaking of Garrett…anyone else think he looked perpetually terrified? Like he expected a snowball to the face at any moment?
He's reportedly back in Louisiana, probably enjoying some beignets and avoiding mountains. Smart man.
Bonus: Katee Stearns
Okay, Katee was a queen. She arrived late, stirred things up, and then bounced. Iconic behavior, honestly.
She's an entrepreneur and influencer, according to her social media. We always knew she had that boss energy.
Season 2: Lakeside Love
Danny Christopherson
Danny, the charming charmer. He was definitely a fan favorite, right? Always smiling, always complimenting.
He seems to be focusing on his career. He's probably still making grand gestures though, we bet.
Amanda Klaus
Amanda went with Danny. But did they last past New Year's? Probably not, let's be real.
Her socials are private, so it's hard to say what she's up to! Living a normal life, probably. Good for her!
Markell Washington
Markell! He was so cute. He got sent home too early in our opinion! Unpopular opinion, maybe, but whatever.
He's still out there making great music and living his best life. We approve.
The Verdict?
Let's be honest, the odds of finding true love on a reality dating show are… slim.
Most of them are probably back to their normal lives. And that's totally okay!
Maybe they learned something about themselves. Maybe they got a free vacation. Or maybe, just maybe, they got a good story to tell at parties.
Either way, thanks for the festive entertainment, 12 Dates of Christmas. You were a wild ride.
And now, back to our regularly scheduled holiday programming. AKA, watching "Love Actually" for the 17th time.
