All the lights

Camp Director Lonnie Hanzon at ATTPAC’s Camp Christmas

These immersive experiences around town will make the holidays shimmer

The holidays are upon us, and there is no shortage of the season’s greetings around town. Tea services, stage productions, Hallmark movies and dining events can all add to your holiday joy.

Or you can go deeper into a more immersive and interactive experience filled with dazzling lights, hot cocoa and feel-good vibes and Instagram-ready sites. Driving around neighborhoods to look at lights is nice and all, but these grand installations will put you right in the middle of those lights. And they offer a lot more — like cocktails, drag queens, sweet treats and, best of all, some unforgettable memories. 

Camp Christmas


This fully immersive art installation brings everything you love about the holiday season to the Annette Strauss Square at the ATT Performing Arts Center through Dec. 29.

Conceived by the fabulous Camp Director Lonnie Hanzon and his band of merry magic makers, this dreamscape will touch all your senses with its lighted displays, nostalgic sounds and scenes and cocktails and snacks at its Base Camp and Fairy Bar.

You can go on your own or try one of the Drag Camp Christmas tours. Book a queen-led tour on Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 7:45 p.m., 8:15 p.m. or 9 p.m., with Raquel Blake, Kylee O’Hara or Cassie Nova as your tour guide for a whole different type of experience.

Luckily, to commemorate 40 years of “Last Christmas,” WHAM! has released a special Last Christmas 40th Anniversary EP, including a previously unreleased live rendition at Wembley Arena, that feels like unwrapping a nostalgic gift that’s been waiting under the tree.

Some of my friends are getting “HoleTox” & I’m really curious about it. Is this insane or should I give it a try?
Hi Jake,A bunch of my gay friends are planning to get “HoleTox” (a.k.a. Botox for the, um, backside) together and asked me if I wanted to join. At first I thought it was a joke but then I learned, actually, it’s a real thing that gay men are doing, especially in places like NYC and L.A. Apparently it can help bottoms who have a difficult time relaxing, especially if their partners are on the larger side. I need to know… Is this a real legit thing, or just some crazy fad being peddled by plastic surgeons and the Botox industry? Also, am I totally insane to want to try it? Hole’ Lot of UncertaintySubscribe to our newsletter for a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.Dear Hole’ Lot of Uncertainty,Believe it or not, “HoleTox” is a real thing (they even did an exposé about it on the Howard Stern Show last week).
