How Two Gay Icons Confronted a Christmas Crisis

Matt Baume | May 9, 2026



The Jinkx and Dela Holiday Special has everything: Prancing! Holiday spirits! Gay apparel! Not to mention, ME! …in the credits! I was the behind the scenes photographer, and I want to share what I love about this show, along with some of my memories and experiences. And a conversation with a very special guest: Ben DeLaCreme was so generous to speak with me about the making of the special. So journey into holidays past, and see why I think this special should be a part of your holiday future.

    Loved watching this! Also had no idea could watch stream this years show and some past ones until this video! Thank you! Was too busy with grad school to get a ticket to the live show, very happy to stream it!
