Salish's 12 Games of Christmas, the Imposter Shaking Up the Gift Competition

Salish Matter and seven friends compete in 12 festive challenges for a mountain of presents in this Netflix reality competition special. They must also identify an impostor trying to sabotage the game

Salish's 12 Games of Christmas is a Netflix holiday competition special in which Salish Matter and her friends compete for Christmas presents. The special will premiere on Netflix on November 28, 2026. Salish's father, Jordan Matter, serves as host, and the contestants gather at a winter vacation venue to take on 12 challenges.

12 Challenges and One Imposter

The goal of the competition is to claim the mountain of presents piled up. However, one of the contestants is an imposter whose role is to sabotage the game and steal the presents. While continuing to take on the challenges, the others must identify the imposter before the final round.

Seven Friends Competing Together

Salish's friends competing against her are Payton Delu, Elliana Walmsley, Gio Siciliano, Angelo Bahu, Markell Washington, Nidal Wonder, and Txunamy Ortiz. As a result, social deduction—trusting and suspecting one another—forms one of the key elements of the competition, alongside records and individual-event results.
