Few reality shows have had as much of a cultural impact as RuPaul's Drag Race. While other series have had reality spin-offs and reboots, few stars have created as much of a name for themselves as this LGBTQ+ program's alumni, with so many branching off to create entertaining and unbelievable projects — projects like The Jinkx & Dela Holiday Special.
This is disappointing, and not just because so many people are missing out on the amazing music and hilarious comedy that fills this one hour. No, what makes it so unfortunate that not more people know this special is that its message is one that so many need to hear. Because these Queens, past all of their award-winning talent, understand what it feels like to struggle through the Christmas season rather than enjoy it.
'RuPaul's Drag Race' Meets the Holidays in This Special! While RuPaul's Drag Race has had many successful cast members, it only takes a viewing of The Jinkx & Dela Holiday Special for watchers to understand why this pair are some of the most legendary figures from the show. Jinkx Monsoon made her debut on season five of the flagship series, showing up with a bubbly demeanor and the determination to become the first"theater Queen" to win Drag Race.
Holiday specials aren't a new thing, with each year seeing some new batch of celebrities capitalizing on the holiday to show off their skills . Yet this pair didn't use the opportunity to draw in all the biggest names in Drag, instead choosing to fill the cast around them with people from their past, other theater people who had collaborated with them long before they became famous — and, in doing so, created an energy of love that persists throughout.
You Need the 'The Jinkx and DeLa Holiday Special' This Christmas Close While the core message of The Jinkx and Dela Holiday Special is impactful, that doesn't mean people looking for an easy holiday won't have fun with it. It is a perfect encapsulation of the campy comedy that these Queens showed on RuPaul's Drag Race, a comedic showcase of their theater skills that anybody can watch for a serotonin boost during this season.
