VH1 announced Tuesday that the Emmy-winning reality series will return Friday, Dec. 7 for RuPaul's Drag Race Holi-slay Spectacular, a one-off, seasonally themed episode that will pit former contestants Eureka O'Hara, Jasmine Masters, A Star Is Born actor Shangela, Kim Chi, Latrice Royale, Mayhem Miller, Sonique, and All-Stars 3 champion Trixie Mattel against each other for the title of America's first "Drag Race Xmas Queen."

This is their all stars 3 apology special. Shangie will finally get her crown.

Looking at the cast I don't see it ending up any other way.
Plus Shangie actually has done Christmas looks before on the runway so I'm sure she'll even have a quote about that.

Why are you complaining about Eureka (who is actually a great performer) but not about Trixie? She even said herself that she isn't good on the show, isn't it enough that she won AS3 without doing anything, why are they bringing her back yet again, gee.

They're bringing Trixie back to lose to Shangela this time around, the storyline is pretty much settled.

This is how I think of it. And to be honest I bet Trixie wants it that way, she's probably completely fed up with people telling her about how unfair it was and wants that past her as soon as possible. She has a lot to gain from losing to Shangela.

Yeah, Eureka is one I definitely have to separate the show persona from the insta persona. She's said some... not great things on social media but was also a riot on her season(s). I enjoy watching her, and that's where ima draw the line.

I also like Eureka a lot, I was rooting for her in season 10.

She is annoying sometimes, I didn't like her at all on season 9, but you can see she has a lot of self-consciousness issues, bith because of her weight and her personality, and she is doing all she can to be the best she can be, and I can fucking respect that. She seems to struggle a lot.

Also her looks are stunning, she's very polished and I love her aesthetic and sense of humor when she dresses.

I don't know anything about her off screen, though, I'm not a social media person.

December 14th? Wow that's a weird start date. Or is it in the US? Seems strange to start a season right on the cusp of the holiday season.

No casting surprises, but it's just a few weeks away!

Also, Reddit got the cast right right after the season was filmed, so no surprises there.

Love the looks. Yeah, no surprises from the rumoured cast.

Please don't @ me with the spoilers but are there any major spoilers out there?
I need to know whether to ignore all of my Drag Race friends on social media.

14th December is SUPER close. 3 seasons in one year.

No confirmed spoilers, it's been mostly conflicting top 4 placements, challenges and twists.

Reddit is way too good at Nancy Drewing.

Makes cast reveals like this not as exciting.

The crown will definitely go to Manila.

great cast, the looks are great, but i still think it was too soon for any season 10 queen to be on there.

didn't AS2 air after season 8?

I think it was shot right before or after S8, yeah.

By the way, ever since I started following Drag Race before S8, I got the winners for S8, S10, AS2 and AS3 right. Only one I got wrong was S9. I'm Team Manila, but I don't feel like she's going to win. I wouldn't be surprised if Naomi Smalls did.

Frankly this is a much more exciting cast than AS3. Excited for more Manilla and more Trinity. Manilla will probably take the crowd.
