What does “Amigo invisible” mean in Spanish?

In this clip, she holds up a present and says “Amigo invisible es como le decimos en español a Secret Santa.” It is the December gift game where everyone draws one name in secret and buys a present for that person. “Invisible” here means the giver is hidden, so you do not know who picked you until the gift appears. You often hear it at school and work parties through the season.

Spoken line: “Amigo invisible es como le decimos en español a Secret Santa.” — “Amigo invisible is what we call Secret Santa in Spanish.” More ways you will hear it: - “Este regalo me lo dio mi amigo invisible.” — “My Secret Santa gave me this present.” - “¿Hacemos amigo invisible este año?” — “Should we do Secret Santa this year?” - “Todavía no sé quién es mi amigo invisible.” — “I still don’t know who my Secret Santa is.” Usage notes: It works as a name for the game and for the person who gives you a gift. Some countries say “amigo secreto” instead, but “amigo invisible” is very common in Argentina and Spain. You mostly hear it in December at family, school, and work parties.
