The Jinkx & DeLa Holiday Special is the story of two queens who set out to create a classic Christmas TV variety show, but just can’t agree on how. Starring the Terminally Delightful BenDeLaCreme, who after being crowned Miss Congeniality on RuPaul’s Drag Race, has carved out a highly successful career dazzling sold -out crowds throughout the Americas, Europe, and Australia.
“Keeping you entertained while making you think about your place in the world is all a part of the BenDeLaCreme experience,” said Forbes and Billboard raves that her work “...soars past entertainment and into the realm of theatrical art.”
Her partner in crime Jinkx Monsoon won Season 5 of RuPaul’s Drag Race, and since has travelled the world performing her original cabaret shows with her music partner, Major Scales.
With original music by Major Scales, Jinkx has released two albums: The Inevitable Album and The Ginger Snapped .. While live performing is her passion, Jinkx is no stranger to film and TV work. Besides her stint in reality TV, she has appeared on the CBS cop drama Blue Bloods, and the Netflix original AJ and the Queen,
So now with the help of a chorus of dancers and DeLa’s deceased grandmother—whose spirit lives on in a glass of eggnog—DeLa tries her hardest to uphold the cheery Christmas traditions of her childhood. Meanwhile, Jinkx is much more interested in bawdy jokes, cute boys, and boozy libations. As they sing and dance their way through numbers about everything from St. Nick to the Christ child, the tension between them mounts, culminating in an all-out battle for control of the show. After some hilarious insight into the ghosts of their very different Christmas pasts, and with the help of a mysterious naked man with a surprising holiday secret, the two realize that tradition can be whatever we make of it, and family is whomever we choose.
This high camp, side-splitting romp is equal parts sacrilegious and sweet, with a sharp tongue and a heart of gold.
