Everything about this is so charming, fun, and witty. I laughed out loud multiple times. Jinkx, DeLa, and the ensemble are incredibly talented. The costume and set design was also wonderful- it's very hard to take your eyes off the screen. Loved the attention to detail and overall message too!

Plot summary
The Jinkx and 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. 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. The Jinkx and DeLa Holiday Special is sure to be a new holiday tradition for all the lost toys who know that the best traditions are the ones we create ourselves.

On the Cheap
Production cost seems mostly for elaborate costume clothing changes, wigs & make-up. A little spent on a stage prop of a building facade w/a bar in front. That's it except a lot of juvenile humor (sex humor obviously included); alcohol references; narcissistic prancing about; terrible singing. Oddly, it was filmed on a location in Seattle's Duwamish industrial area (cheap rents).

Simply funny
Jinkx Monsoon and Ben de la Creme in a Christmas special that packs a punch, where nothing and no one is spared and the nasty jibes against everything that seems sacred to everyone at Christmas and yet is so hypocritically bypassed land at least 90% in the pit of the stomach and the laugh muscles at the same time. Add to that an amazingly good singing voice by Jinkx and the result is a brisk hour of good entertainment, provided you have a critical attitude towards church and religion anyway. Otherwise, you might want to throw Molotov cocktails into the TV.
