Salish’s 12 Games of Christmas Is About To Be Your First Binge-Watch This Holiday Season

Clear your calendar, because the holiday season just got a lot more suspicious. Salish’s 12 Games of Christmas hits Netflix on Saturday, November 28th, right on time to take over your feed, your family room, and your entire December.

The Premise: Cozy Vibes, Zero Trust

Everyone’s favorite content creator Salish Matter invites seven of her closest friends to a winter getaway. Think steaming mugs of cocoa, snowy cabin energy, and a mountain of presents up for grabs. Sounds wholesome, right? Wrong. Someone in the group is an impostor.

The series is built around an epic game of social deduction. Over 12 festive challenges, the friends compete for the gifts up for grabs while one secret saboteur works to wreck the games and swipe the loot. The rest of the cabin crew has to figure out who the unhelpful elf is before the final round. If you’ve ever yelled “it’s literally him, why won’t anyone listen” at a screen, this is your Super Bowl.

Meet the Christmas Cast

Eight creators, one cabin, and exactly one liar. Here’s who’s in the mix, so you can start building your suspect list:

Salish Matter (Star and Executive Producer): The mastermind behind the madness. Salish won Female Creator of the Year at the 2025 Kids’ Choice Awards at just 15, and she’s also a competitive gymnast. She co-founded the skincare line Sincerely Yours with Sephora. She rose to fame as a preteen appearing on her dad’s YouTube channel, which has since grown into a family empire with 34.1 million subscribers. Follow: @salishmatter

Payton Delu: Actress, athlete, and one of the faces of Ninja Kidz TV. Across her family’s channels, she’s racked up more than 50 million subscribers and 24 billion views. She’s also a second-degree black belt, an accomplished gymnast, and an American Ninja Warrior competitor. If a challenge involves physical chaos, she’s probably winning it. Follow: @payton_delu

Elliana Walmsley: A dancer, actress, and creator who went pro at age 8 when she landed Dance Moms. Since then she’s done off-Broadway musicals, performed with the Radio City Rockettes, and appeared on the first season of Dancing with the Stars: Juniors. She’s now leaning into lifestyle content and acting, with 13 million followers across platforms. Follow: @ellianawalmsley

Gio Siciliano: Born in Columbus, Ohio, and one of a set of quadruplets. Gio got into filmmaking by writing, filming, and directing his own short videos, and he’s a frequent collaborator with Salish and Jordan. He’s also the friend who takes apart gadgets to see how they work and fixes everyone’s tech problems, which makes him either very trustworthy or a very suspicious puzzle-solver.

Angelo Bahu (YoAngelolo): Known for high-energy comedic storytelling and big-personality challenge videos, Angelo has more than 25 million followers and billions of views. He’s now focused on bigger entertainment projects beyond social media. Expect him to be loud, funny, and impossible to read. Follow: @yoangelolo

Markell Washington: Creator, host, and dancer with an audience that loves his infectious energy and quick wit. He recently served as Club Director on Streamer University. A natural crowd-pleaser, which is exactly what you’d want in a saboteur. Follow: @markellwashington

Nidal Wonder: A self-taught acrobat with serious flipping skills, Nidal has built a career across digital entertainment, music, acting, and TV. He’s known for extreme challenges and stunts, so he’ll be right at home when the games get intense. Follow: @nidal.wonder_

Txunamy Ortiz: She first blew up on her own YouTube channel and as the standout star of the viral family channel Familia Diamond. Txunamy is a model, actress, and voiceover artist who’s fluent in English and Spanish and has landed national brand campaigns. Follow: @txunamy

And running the show as the host is none other than Jordan Matter, Salish’s dad and the guy who started it all with his YouTube channel, which began as a photography vlog. This is the next exciting chapter for the duo, whose series Salish & Jordan Matter is already available to stream now of Netflix.

Salish’s 12 Games of Christmas looks like the perfect cozy and competitive series to watch this season. Twelve games, eight creators, one impostor, and a pile of presents on the line. Mark your calendar for November 28th, grab your snacks, and start deciding who you trust least. (We’re already side-eyeing everyone.)

Will the crew unwrap the culprit before it’s too late? Stream it on Netflix to find out.
