Featured reviews
This holiday special was just so past nonsensical, it bordered on stupidity. A shame, considering the talented cast.
It was confusing and dry. Then "Michelle" & "RuPaul" lip sync...? Was it meant to be funny??? Were we meant to be fooled???
Judge for yourself, but this special really didn't live up to any of the hype.

Terribly cheesy from start to end and not in a good way!!! The whole episode was just a weird plug for Rupaul's album! No genuine work shop chat from the queens or any competition, instead just low quality lip syncs!
Don't waste 40 mins on this rubbish!

I know Christmas is all about the cheese, ugly sweaters, bad movies and dad jokes, but this is taking it WAY too far. I hate how fully curated and scripted the whole thing was, and it doesn't at all reflect what I really love about the show, what a shame...
Shameful cash in on the drag race brand pointless and makes a mockery of the queen come on Ru don't lower yourself to the tacky special
I'm a big RPDR fan, and have watched every season, starting back in 2009. Was hoping this Christmas special would be just as entertaining, but I was sorely disappointed. As other reviewers have mentioned, this special is just blatant advertising for Rupaul's Christmas album; heavily scripted, saccharin, unfulfilling cheese. Particularly awful was Ru & Michelle's lip sync performances near the end of the special. It was obvious that Michelle was not into it, and the ridiculous dance stunt doubles were used for Ru and Michelle, filmed from behind for splits, deathdrops, and cartwheels made a sad number. It would of been preferable to just have Ru and Michelle dance enthusiastically and authentically to a song they both loved, perhaps "We are Family"?
In between scenes for the episode,Ross Mathews played a miniature "Santa's gayest elf of all" , while I thought he did a decent job as a giggling elf, these little bits were irritating and unneeded. While I would not recommend this special there were a few positives: 1) Mayhem Miller's runway look was sickening, Kim Chi and Trixie were my other favs. 2)Sonique is the first fully transitioned queen featured on RPDR, even though this holiday special is not a true competition, it's still a positive step forward.
