Let’s get the bad news out of the way first: For the second year in a row, the delightful BenDeLaCreme and Jinkx Monsoon will be sashaying away from Texas.
But there’s good news, of course!
Just because they aren’t coming to the Lone Star State this year doesn’t mean you have to miss out on the merry mayhem of The Jinkx & DeLa Holiday Show.For
For nine years, these two immensely talented queens have transformed the December holidays into irreverent craziness that would make Baby Jesus soil his diaper, and Santa Claus clutch his tits in horror (or vice versa).
Tickets just went on sale and though they won’t be in a theater near you in 2026, they will be in a theater near-ish you. Or far, who cares! This delightfully wicked, unabashedly hilarious production will hit 30 venues across the US and Canada. (We’ve published the entire list at the end of the story.)
It’s always fun to try to predict which holiday trope they’ll skewer each year, whether it’s A Christmas Carol and The Nutcracker or less obvious source material like Rosemary’s Baby or Tales from the Crypt.
Every year’s different and the 2026 premise is under wraps, but it’s guaranteed to sleigh slay.
So much so that we’re always willing to book an entire vacation around tickets to their show in another city when Dallas gets overlooked like so many naughty children in Waxahachie.
Right now, we’re on a group text with our friends trying to decide between Denver and Chicago, cities we haven’t visited in far too long. Two birds, one drag duo!
You can choose your own adventure, too, whether that lands you in Charlotte, North Carolina for the preview, Philadelphia for some pre-Thanksgiving fun, or Vegas if you hope to hit a jackpot to pay for the whole vacation.
If you’ve never seen The Jinkx & DeLa Holiday Show, we swear to Sugarplum Satan you’ll have the time of your life.
With hotel-room sex coming in a close second.
