It's that time of the year - holiday TV specials season!

Obviously RuPaul is getting in on the festivities, announcing a Drag Race holiday special featuring a number of former contestants, each of whom will compete in a series of Christmas-themed challenges.

“Nothing says Christmas like ‘Chestnuts roasting on an open fire, and drag queens slipping on their pantyhose,'” RuPaul said in a statement about the show, which is suitably titled RuPaul’s Drag Race Holi-slay Spectacular.
She continued: “Celebrating the holidays with my most festive girls inspired me to record my new album, Christmas Party. And this VH1 holiday extravaganza is my way of saying thank you to my Drag Race family by spreading a little bit of love, laughter and light across the country and around the world.”

The former contestants set to take part in the special include: Eureka O’Hara, Jasmine Masters, Kim Chi, Latrice Royale, Mayhem Miller, Shangela, Sonique, and All Stars 2 winner Trixie Mattel.

The winner will be crowned Drag Race's first ever Christmas Queen.
