15: A Very Glitchy Christmas: The Strangest Holiday Stories I’ve Ever Read || Glitch in the Matrix Stories

Is Christmas secretly the glitchiest time of year? 🎄🌀

This solo episode dives into a stack of glitch in the matrix stories from Reddit, all unfolding around the holidays.

From timeline slips, to objects changing, to memories no one agrees on, to encounters that feel like they came from another reality, this episode leans all the way into the strange, the subtle, and the impossible-to-explain.

This one is story forward with minimal breakdowns... just you, the Christmas lights, and a lineup of eerie seasonal glitches that will stick with you long after the episode ends.

If you love:

• Christmas paranormal stories

• Mandela effect moments

• parallel reality weirdness

• time slips

• doppelgänger encounters

• unexplainable objects or events

• or just stories that make you say, “Okay… WHAT?”

then this holiday episode is for you.

🎧 Grab a warm drink, turn on the tree, and settle into a cozy corner of the simulation.
