Ring the slay bells and deck your legs with (fishnet) stockings, because eight fan-favorite RuPaul’s Drag Race queens will sashay back into the Werk Room for a competitive holiday special this winter.
VH1 announced Tuesday that the Emmy-winning reality series will return Friday, Dec. 7 for RuPaul’s Drag Race Holi-slay Spectacular, a one-off, seasonally themed episode that will pit former contestants Eureka O’Hara, Jasmine Masters, A Star Is Born actor Shangela, Kim Chi, Latrice Royale, Mayhem Miller, Sonique, and All-Stars 3 champion Trixie Mattel against each other for the title of America’s first “Drag Race Xmas Queen.”
Structured similar to a standard installment of Drag Race, the holiday special will include a series of performances, choreographed by Todrick Hall, featuring the queens dancing and lip-syncing to original Christmas music from both of RuPaul’s holiday albums: 2015’s Slay Belles and the upcoming LP Christmas Party.
Series regulars Michelle Visage and Ross Mathews are set to reprise their roles as judges to help Hall and RuPaul crown the show’s first holiday champion.
“Nothing says Christmas like ‘Chestnuts roasting on an open fire, and drag queens slipping on their pantyhose,'” RuPaul said of the episode via press statement. “Celebrating the holidays with my most festive girls inspired me to record my new album, Christmas Party. And this VH1 holiday extravaganza is my way of saying thank you to my Drag Race family by spreading a little bit of love, laughter, and light across the country and around the world.”
Earlier this year, VH1 greenlit a fourth season of RuPaul’s Drag Race: All-Stars in addition to ordering an 11th season of the main competition. Both are set to air in the near future.
RuPaul’s Drag Race Holi-slay Spectacular premieres Friday, Dec. 7 at 8:00 p.m. ET on VH1.
Ru rushedly trying to give Shangela a crown before she snatches an Oscar?
That cast is very "...who was in LA at the time of filming", isn't it
(also, does the press release genuinely say "A Star is Born actor Shangela"? Amazing)

Shangela better win

Should be fun although it seems a bit odd to have Latrice and Jasmine included given the AS4 rumours. I have to agree with the sentiment that the purpose of it is to give Shangela a crown which I'm not against, tbh.

It better be Latrice or Shangela winning... after all this time both need a crown at this point.
Can't wait for Trixie to not win

Im sorry but I'll howl if they bring Shangela back after the AS3 outcry just for her to lose again.
Here for a random Sonique win.

Will it be going on Netflix?
So essentially this is a RPDR special the week before AS4?
Sonique looks fantastic btw.

I know it's AS4 related but HOLY CRAP those Trinity and Farrah outfits are stunning.

Is that not Manila in the blue/purple dress and blonde wig? She's giving me Violet teas, whoever it is.
Shaun

Aaaaah yes so it is, couldn't really tell from such a quick glimpse :laugh: was worried I'd have to start supporting Farrah for a second
tbh I thought that was Ivy Winters so I'm probably not in the best position to weigh in

Jasmine Masters lip-syncing with a bag over her head is the kind of festive content I never knew I needed.
lmao, the whole thing was a mess but strangely enjoyable in hindsight.

Only thing I'll remember it for, is proving Sonique ain't dead.

It started out so well... cast wise and entrances. But then you realize it's a musical... and scripted... and you begin to wonder how Ru got them all there knowing there was one scripted winner... and before the show is into the mini challenge you know they all win and it's all down hill from here.

It probably wasn't that hard. Latrice and Jasmine are both on AS4 so they may have had it in their contracts to appear or just been asked to and accepted. Any promotion is good promotion I suppose.
Then you have the likes of Kim Chi who have said they wouldn't want to compete again, but this provides opportunity for her to appear without necessarily competing.
You have Trixie and Shangela who do a lot of work with RPDR and WOW rn so they're easy to sign up.
Eureka will do anything to get her mug on tv.
That leaves Mayhem and Sonique - I guess throw some money at them and you'll see who comes running?

Oh I get it... Money bought them all... I was just time lining that moment where I realized I wasn't watching what I thought I'd come to watch.
I mean... I don't regret watching it... but I won't ever play it over like I have for everything else in the Ru franchise
