BenDeLaCreme Presents The Jinkx & DeLa Holiday Show

The Jinkx & DeLa Holiday Show comes to Meridian Hall (1 Front St. E.) on Thursday, November 19, 2026. Doors open at 6 p.m., the show starts at 7 p.m., and it is open to all ages.

Jinkx Monsoon and BenDeLaCreme are two of the best-known alumni of RuPaul's Drag Race. Jinkx won the show's fifth season and later All Stars 7, and DeLa is a fan favourite from both the main show and All Stars. Both come out of Seattle's comedy and cabaret scene, and both lean on character work, vintage showbiz and sharp writing rather than lip-sync spectacle.

Their holiday show has been touring for nine years, and each year they write a brand-new story. Past editions have had them meeting sentient Christmas treats, twisting space-time with Dickensian ghosts, visiting the Nutcracker's Land of Sweets and surviving AI, body swaps and elf attacks. The 2026 show is another new one, so returning fans will not be watching a rerun. Expect live singing, song-and-dance numbers, carols with a cheeky drag twist and plenty of jokes aimed at the stress of the season. Jinkx tends to bring the chaos and DeLa brings the sugar.

It is all ages, but the humour is very much adult-friendly, so think about whether it suits your youngest before booking a family outing. VIP add-ons are sold separately on the show's website, at $99 USD for a photo opportunity with both queens plus a limited-edition ornament, or $129 USD with priority photo access and a pop-out ornament book. A show ticket is required as well.

Practical notes: Meridian Hall is a short walk east of Union Station, so Line 1, GO Transit and the UP Express all work. The St. Lawrence Market area has plenty of spots for a drink or dinner before the 7 p.m. curtain. It makes a strong alternative to the usual Nutcracker outing.
