- There’s a warm nostalgia baked into the idea of holiday traditions, but just because it’s a tradition, that doesn’t mean it’s a good thing. With this in mind, superstar drag queens BenDeLaCreme and Jinkx Monsoon have spent the past few holiday seasons touring the country with riotous live shows (To Jesus, Thanks for Everything in ‘18 and All I Want for Christmas Is Attention in ‘19) aimed at letting everyone in on the spirit: “Doing these holidays specials by and for queer performers-for the queer community-is all about... imparting the message that tradition can be what we want it to be,” says BenDeLaCreme. With their shows well on their way to becoming new seasonal staples, the Drag Race alum weren’t about to let COVID-19 put things on ice; in lieu of a stage tour this year, the magic can be beamed right into your home via The Jinkx & DeLa Holiday Special. Directed by BenDeLaCreme, the special recaptures the hilarious joy of their live shows, deconstructing holiday traditions with a little camp, a pair of chainsaws, and a whole lot of wigs.
Just before BenDeLaCreme and Jinkx dashed off to the drive-in premiere of Happiest Season (which features a delightful cameo from the pair), they logged on for a festive Zoom with The A.V. Club to discuss how they hope the special can help reclaim a sense of warmth and joy this year. Then, in the spirit of making the yuletide gay, we challenged the queens with our holiday quiz, asking them to decide which seasonal icons “belong to the queers.” So, is it Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer or Hermey The Elf? Tinsel or garland? Mariah Carey’s “All I Want For Christmas Is You” or Wham!’s “Last Christmas”?

"it's a turkey that self-identified as ham!" - "The pronouns are ham/her" *Jinkx exits the room*
Love this! My entire family and extended family disowned me when I came out in college. Love my new adopted family :)
Life is a lot better when you cut negative/abusive people out of your life.
My adopted cats name is Eartha Kitt-y. I always love ppl who actually know who that is! Lol

Who’s the handsome guy in the glasses????
I get vanished from family when Xmas time comes along, I’ve grown to dislike Christmas for that very reason.
I get treated like trash.
I’m your family now.
I’m sorry, but Christmas on 34th Street is more gay because of it’s sub-plot about living your own true identity no matter how many people tell you you’re crazy and you aren’t what you know you are and people accepting you for who you are.
