Part theatre, part drag show, part queer retelling of the Christmas story, A Drag Christmas Spectacular returns!

This December, dive into the ultimate holiday celebration of queer joy, courage, and unapologetic pride with A Drag Christmas Spectacular! Back by popular demand, this year’s performance promises even more humor, heart, and glitter, showcasing Colorado’s top drag and queer talent in a 90-minute whirlwind of theater, drag, and a reimagined Christmas story that only the boldest could dream up.

A Christmas Drag Spectacular contains appropriate sexual and drug references and is appropriate for high school youth aged 16+. This year a family-friendly PG show has been added for 2pm Saturday. Read our FAQ here.

Meet the unforgettable Magi: GaysparBelthaslay, and Melqueer, as they follow a fateful star—albeit with a few hilarious detours along the way—to celebrate a birth that represents new hope, joy, and belonging for all.

The creative partnership between Krisa Gonna and Foothills Unitarian will center the queer experience of epiphany and the claiming of queer truth and identity as life-giving and divine.

“This was such a magical and powerful show! As someone who has never really appreciated Christmas, I loved it. I hope to see it again.”- 2023 Audience Member

A Reimagined Drag Christmas for Wider Audience
This holiday season, experience a joyful, family-friendly performance filled with theater, drag, and a reimagined Nativity story like you’ve never seen before. Tailored for audiences that want the heartfelt story of Drag Christmas, without the more mature humor and themes found in the adult performances, bringing the same powerful message of queer joy, courage, and belonging in a version suitable for some younger viewers.

In the adult shows the performers swear and there are sexual innuendos. In both versions there are religious satire, and socio-political commentary. This isn’t your grandma’s Nativity Pagent. For the “adult” shows, we’d say mature high school students and above (Age 16+).

At Foothills Unitarian Church at 1815 Yorktown Ave in Fort Collins. Yes we know, it’s a church. We promise no one will burst into flames when they arrive.
