After being self-released on-line for 2 days, Hulu picked up the special for streaming in the US. It went live on the streaming platform on December 18, 2020.
The scene with the "No One Played Santa for Me" number that Jinkx sings was all shot as a single take.
This was the first film that the small team at BenDeLaCreme Presents--comprised of BenDeLaCreme, Kevin Heard, and Gus Lanza--ever produced. They brought on producer Brian Benson for this project as he has substantially more experience in film production and the four of them worked their collective magic.
Film production took place in Seattle, WA, over 12 days.
The whole production process, from concept to finished film, took 6 months. With pre-production from June to august. Production was from the first two weeks of September with a pick-up day in mid October, and then post production happened at lightening fast speed from mid-October through November 25th.
