Netflix audiences are in for a festive treat as comedian Matt Rife drops his holiday-themed crowd work special.

Bringing Hollywood Legends Together
One of the highlights of the special's promotion was a surprise video featuring Home Alone star Macaulay Culkin and Netflix favorite Charlie Sheen.
Rife explained how he managed to bring the unlikely duo together: he contacted Culkin's team and pitched the idea, while Sheen, who had recently followed him on Instagram, agreed after a lunch meeting.
"Neither were sensitive or worried about anything. They were just up for having some fun," Rife told The Hollywood Reporter.
Rife emphasized that the special is not just about stunts or star-studded cameos. He described crowd work as his favorite aspect of comedy.
"It's a new experience for every show, and that's what makes the night exciting. With Arizona and the theme of Christmas, we struck gold," he shared.
Rife's Christmas special doesn't shy away from edgy humor. Some segments touch on adult topics, yet he also highlights heartwarming interactions.
"Some of my favorite moments were the couple with their parents talking about the sexy calendar they do each month. It made me fully believe in that marriage," he said.
Off-stage, Rife's personal life adds to his holiday spirit. He's been dating fitness coach and bodybuilder Mariah Morse since March. Morse often supports Rife during his tours and shares glimpses of their life together, including moments with their dogs, Kona and Hammer. On Rife's 30th birthday, Morse celebrated him on Instagram, highlighting both his charm and his generosity.
Looking ahead, Rife is also balancing a busy acting schedule. He has a high-profile role in the upcoming show The Altruists and is developing a comedy film called The Chasm.
Rife's combination of star power, spontaneous humor, and personal charm ensures that his Netflix special isn't just another release; it's an event that invites audiences to laugh, interact and maybe even see a little Christmas magic in unexpected places.
