This December, House of Yes is decking the halls with the return of its annual holiday fever dream: The Xmas Spectacular: The Nightmare Before Twinkmas. Now in its (un)lucky 13th year, the Bushwick Xmas Spectacular has made itself known as NYC's most outrageous, heartfelt and hilariously unhinged holiday tradition.
This year's tale follows Twinkletoes, Santa's once-favorite elf who turns 30 and tragically loses his sparkle. He's exiled to the underworld for aging out of cuteness by Veronica, a new holiday villain hell-bent on plunging the universe into mayhem. With the help of a ragtag team of queer rebels, glittery demons and off-brand Christmas spirits, Twinkletoes embarks on a magical quest to win back Santa's love, while also learning to love himself.
Expect over-the-top costumes and outrageous dance numbers with a dash of trauma and a ton of joy, plus an all-star cast of Bushwick nightlife icons, drag royalty, aerial angels and dance-floor demons.
The show runs from on select dates from December 3 to December 21 at the House of Yes (2 Wyckoff Ave, Brooklyn). You can purchase your tickets here.
