The holiday season is all about family, and Ru’s getting her girls back together for a can’t-miss (non-denominational) Holi-Slay Spectacular. Fan-favorite queens return to battle it out in a very special Drag Race throwdown in hopes they’ll capture the Christmas Queen crown. Load up on eggnog and tune in Friday at 8 p.m. Eastern on VH1.

We’ll take all the Dolly Parton we can get, including as the creative force behind the soundtrack of this Netflix original film premiering Friday. Starring Danielle Macdonald and Jennifer Aniston, Dumplin’ follows a plus-size Dolly fan as she bucks tradition by entering the local beauty pageant. Hilarity and heart warming ensue.

Before Aquaman hits theaters later this month, the film’s star, Jason Momoa, will get audiences wet when he hosts Saturday Night Live this weekend at 11:30 p.m. Eastern on NBC. The hunky actor is known for a wicked sense of humor, so expect a strong showing.
