December 17th, 2018 ( New York )- XS Studio brings you a stocking stuffed-holiday special from some of your favorite queens: Peppermint, Pandora Boxx, Cynthia Lee Fontaine, Jaymes Mansfield, Alexis Michelle, Sherry Vine & Shuga Cane as they put a touch of sparkling holiday magic on some seasonal favorites in this 30-minute visual album. The Holiday Dragtacular will be available Monday, December 17th at www.youtube.com/channel/UC5ey1hN3LQFsHkx5-IGTrsg.

The scene is set— our queens arrive in Holiday Land and set right to work—after all they are putting on a show for 'the kids'. But there is a disturbance in this bucolic setting; Jaymes Mansfield realizes she hates kids, Sherry seems to have a permanent appointment in the lady's room, and Cynthia cannot seem to stop dancing and eating. But fear not, 'the kids' will be OK!

Some of the highlights of The Holiday Dragtacular special are:

- "Feliz Navidad" - Cynthia Lee Fontaine

- "God Rest the Nagging Children" — Jaymes Mansfield

- "Rock Around the Hanukkah Bush" — Alexis Michelle

- "Oy to the World" — Sherry Vine

Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanza & Solstice will never be the same in Holiday Land. Whether you are naughty or nice, this special is bound to become a perennial favorite. The Holiday Dragtacular will be available on Monday, Dec. 17 at www.youtube.com/channel/UC5ey1hN3LQFsHkx5-IGTrsg .
