The Jinkx & DeLa Holiday Show Brings a New Christmas Spectacle to Toronto
November 19, 2026, at 7 p.m.
Meridian Hall, 1 Front Street East, Toronto
Doors open at 6 p.m.
Jinkx Monsoon and BenDeLaCreme Return to Meridian Hall With Camp, Comedy and Holiday Chaos
Award-winning drag performers Jinkx Monsoon and BenDeLaCreme are coming back to Toronto with another original edition of The Jinkx & DeLa Holiday Show. The internationally acclaimed production arrives at Meridian Hall on November 19, 2026, as part of an extensive North American holiday tour.
Each year, the creative duo develops a completely new show filled with original songs, comedy, elaborate costumes and unexpected seasonal adventures. As a result, returning fans can expect a fresh story rather than a repeat of an earlier production.
Now entering its ninth year, the show has evolved into an eagerly anticipated holiday tradition for audiences who enjoy their Christmas entertainment with plenty of sparkle, satire and heart.
A Completely New Holiday Adventure
Jinkx and DeLa have explored some wonderfully strange seasonal territory over the years. Previous productions have featured everything from Dickensian spirits and sentient Christmas treats to visits to the Nutcracker’s Land of Sweets.
The pair have also faced body swaps, mischievous elves, artificial intelligence and other increasingly unpredictable holiday problems. The exact plot of the 2026 production remains a surprise. However, audiences can look forward to another imaginative story shaped by the performers’ distinctive comic personalities.
The evening will combine over-the-top camp, sharp comedy, new music, dance numbers and theatrical costumes. Beneath the chaos, the production also carries a sincere message about friendship, belonging and the communities people create for themselves.
Two Distinctive Comedy Personalities
Jinkx Monsoon and BenDeLaCreme are both widely recognised for their appearances on RuPaul’s Drag Race. However, their careers extend well beyond the television competition.
Jinkx has built a celebrated career in theatre, cabaret, music and comedy. DeLa is an accomplished writer, director, producer and performer. Together, they combine their contrasting personalities to create a show that moves easily between quick-witted exchanges, musical spectacle and heartfelt storytelling.
Their chemistry remains central to the production. DeLa’s determination to create the perfect Christmas celebration often collides with Jinkx’s unpredictable energy, opening the door to comic misunderstandings and wildly inventive theatrical detours.
A Celebration of Community
While the show enthusiastically plays with familiar Christmas traditions, it also creates space for audiences who may not see themselves reflected in conventional holiday entertainment.
Themes of chosen family, inclusion and community run through the comedy and music. The result is a festive experience that can be mischievous one moment and unexpectedly touching the next.
The official tour lists the Toronto performance as an all-ages event. However, parents should be aware that the production’s humour can be cheeky, irreverent and suggestive.
VIP Experiences Available Separately
Two optional VIP add-ons are available through the performers’ official website. Depending on the package selected, benefits may include an individual photo opportunity with Jinkx and DeLa, a commemorative laminate and limited-edition holiday merchandise.
A VIP add-on does not include admission to the performance. Guests must purchase a separate ticket for the November 19 show before adding a VIP experience.
The Toronto performance begins at 7 p.m., with doors opening at 6 p.m. Tickets are available through TO Live.
