The queens of Christmas are sleighing their way back to Southern California.
Jinkx Monsoon and BenDeLaCreme will return this winter with a brand-new edition of The Jinkx & DeLa Holiday Show, a theatrical, camp-filled holiday tradition that’s become a staple for fans across North America.
This year’s tour includes three California stops: The Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles on Dec. 14, the Balboa Theatre in San Diego on Dec. 18, and the Golden Gate Theatre in San Francisco on Dec. 19. The production, directed and co-written by BenDeLaCreme with additional writing by Monsoon, continues the duo’s annual tradition of presenting an original show with comedy, choreography and plenty of holiday absurdity.
Tickets go on sale to the general public at 10 a.m. July 11 at Ticketmaster.com. An artist presale will be available at 10 a.m. July 9 using code “HOHOHO” at jinkxanddela.com. VIP upgrades will be sold separately.
Jinkx Monsoon is a two-time winner of RuPaul’s Drag Race, first crowned in Season 5 and later on All Stars Season 7, which featured a cast of previous champions. BenDeLaCreme, a fan-favorite from Season 6 and All Stars Season 3, became widely known for her high-concept looks, theatricality, and memorable self-elimination, which left a lasting mark on the show’s history.
Now in its seventh year, The Jinkx & DeLa Holiday Show has built a reputation for pushing beyond the typical seasonal fare. What began as a niche drag-theatre hybrid has since evolved into a large-scale production that continues to draw crowds in cities across the U.S. and Canada. Its loyal fan base ranges from longtime drag supporters to new audiences discovering the duo through their TV, Broadway and film work.
In a statement, BenDeLaCreme said the show remains a space for connection and healing, especially during an increasingly difficult time. “These rooms full of good faith and uproarious laughter continue to heal my heart,” she said. Monsoon added, “We go hard to combat the daily devastation with magic and mirth.”
