Christmas is here, and with it comes the delightful thrill of Secret Santa. Nothing beats the excitement of knowing someone—your colleague, friend, or maybe even your crush—is out there plotting the perfect (or not-so-perfect) gift for you.
But what if your Secret Santa wasn’t your coworker or your crush but someone from the My Flatmates cast? Would they be the stuff of Christmas miracles, or would they hand you coal with a side of chaos? Let’s find out!
Chief Donatus
At first glance, Chief Donatus seems like the ideal Secret Santa—he’s got money, loves to flaunt it, and isn’t afraid to splurge when the spirit moves him. Sounds great, right? Hold up. The Chief has two fatal flaws: he’s cheap and egotistical. Just ask Prosper or his secretary; they’re on the receiving end of his penny-pinching ways every day. Chief Donatus as your Secret Santa is a gamble. If the stars align and his ego is properly stroked, you might luck out. Otherwise? Brace yourself.
Honourable Dan
Honourable Dan is the man with a heart of gold and pockets of air—at least most of the time. Dan’s money troubles are legendary. If there’s a Top 10 Rent Defaulters list, he’s in the Hall of Fame.
But here’s the thing: when Dan does have money, he’s not just generous—he’s extravagant. No cutting corners with him. The only catch? Dan’s love life is as messy as his finances. So while you’re unwrapping your gift, he might already be promising something even bigger to someone else. Secret Santa Dan is a Christmas risk worth taking—but only if you don’t mind sharing.
Jite
Jite might be a great Secret Santa in theory, but reality hits different. With his earnings as a roadside mechanic and a wife like Tejiri (who ensures every Kobo is accounted for), Jite’s wallet isn’t exactly jingling with Christmas cheer. Let’s be honest: whatever he gets you will probably be… underwhelming. Don’t take it personally; just blame the family budget.
Willy
Willy is an enigma. On one hand, his history of stinginess with past girlfriends makes him a questionable candidate. On the other hand, the man once emptied his wallet for a woman he loved in London. If Willy’s your Secret Santa, pray he’s got a crush on you. If not, well, maybe regift whatever he gives you to someone else. Fingers crossed it’s not socks.
Mimi
If there’s anyone who could make you feel like royalty this Christmas, it’s Mimi. She’s stylish, loaded, and believes in only the very best. As your Secret Santa, expect top-tier gifts—think designer fragrances, fine jewellery, or the latest gadgets. But here’s the catch: Mimi has to like you. If you’re on her bad side or, worse, if she thinks you’re a threat to her relationship with Frank… let’s just say you might get a box of drama instead of Christmas cheer. Just ask Chioma how that worked out.
Frank
Frank is the quintessential thoughtful Santa. He’s the guy who will actually read your wish list and check everything off—except one thing: a wedding date. Yes, Frank is sweet, generous, and charming, but if you’re hoping to unwrap a proposal, think again. Just ask Mimi, who’s been his fiancée for what feels like a lifetime.
Ubong
If you draw Ubong’s name for Secret Santa, better luck next Christmas. The man is broke, stingy, and, to top it off, a kleptomaniac. Not only will you not get a gift, but you might lose a few of your belongings in the process. For Ubong, the only gift-worthy person is himself.
So, there you have it! The cast of My Flatmates as Secret Santas: from the big spenders to the big disappointments. The real question is: who’s your pick? For more laughs, chaos, and festive drama, catch My Flatmates every weekday on Africa Magic Showcase at 7 PM WAT.
