In basketball, Christmas just means a little more.

Every year, the NBA’s Christmas Day games mark the unofficial start of the NBA season — when teams have started to find out who they are, and start showing the world who they’re gonna be. Games all day. Playoff previews. Superstar showdowns. (And maybe a chance to escape a long convo with a distant uncle)

So while Dec. 25 means a whole lot of things — every year, to us, it’s about hoops. And, like everything at Top Shot, it’s about coming together with the greatest basketball community in the world.

And this Christmas, we’re excited to make a little Top Shot history together with you.

This NBA on Christmas Day, for the first time ever, Top Shot fans can complete…

  • 3 Flash Challenges from a single day of games.
  • Each with a different level of difficulty, from easy to hard.
  • Each with an exclusive Moment from a 2021 Christmas Day game.

EASY

For the Easy Challenge, you’ll need the Top 5 overall scorers from across the day — a nod to the first-ever Flash Challenge earlier this season. (Aka the one that started it all)

MEDIUM

Medium? You’ll need the Top 5 scorers, plus any 3 Rare Moments with a scoring play type (a layup, a dunk, a 3-pointer or a jumper).

HARD

The Hard Challenge? You’ll still need the top 5 scorers … but all 5 need to be Rare or Legendary Moments.

We will announce players and Moments by the end of the day on Dec. 27. 

Want to join in? All 3 challenges run through the new year, ending on Monday, Jan. 3 at 1pm PST.

Just joining Top Shot? Our Christmas Day Flash Challenges, which run until Jan. 3, will count towards the $100 Holiday Offer.

Who’s on the court?

So what are we looking at on the hardwood? We’ve got the Atlanta Hawks coming into the Mecca of basketball, Madison Square Garden, to take on the New York Knicks. The defending champ Milwaukee Bucks look to flex their muscle at home against the Eastern rival Boston Celtics. 

Meanwhile on the West Coast we’ve got the high-octane Golden State Warriors bringing their lights out shooting into the desert to battle the Phoenix Suns – with lucky collectors in the building for our latest Access Unlocked trip. Followed by the Brooklyn Nets making the cross-country trip to step into the Hollywood spotlight and a date with the Los Angeles Lakers. And to cap off the festivities, the Dallas Mavericks will go up against the Western rival Utah Jazz.

New to NBA Top Shot? Here’s how Flash Challenges work:

  • Before a slate of games, we announce what you’ll need to complete the Challenge.
  • What’s a Challenge? Think of it like a set of keys. You’ll need certain Moments from certain players in your collection, to unlock a special prize.
  • You can scoop up those Moments from the Marketplace.
  • The Challenge officially goes live after the game(s) end(s).
  • Head to this page, where you can use our Showcase Builder to see what Moments you need — and what Moments you have in your account.
  • Drag and drop the Moments in your collection into the Showcase Builder.
  • If you have all the necessary Moments in a Showcase, you’ll win the prize.
