London’s queer Christmas calendar just got a major upgrade, and frankly, we’re living for it. SISSIES, the events brand that burst onto the scene earlier this year with all the confidence of a drag queen on a moving float, is taking over Ballie Ballerson this December for its first-ever festive spectacular. If your seasonal plans currently involve mulled wine and pretending not to open Grindr at family gatherings, consider this your upgrade.
On Thursday, 11th December 2025, the neon-lit playground that is Ballie Ballerson becomes a full-blown queer winter wonderland. Think world-famous glowing ball pit, confetti cannons, CO₂ bursts and a crowd of London’s most fabulous VIPs, all sweating under the same disco lights. SISSIES aren’t just hosting a party, they’re building a whole universe, and everyone’s invited to come and get messy in the best possible way.
If their last event, SISSIES In The House, taught us anything, it’s that this crowd doesn’t do things quietly. That night was packed with celebs, influencers and Drag Race royalty, and the Christmas edition promises even more chaos, glamour and queer joy. And yes, the line-up slaps. You’ve got Attitude Magazine Trailblazer TeTe Bang on the decks, joined by international DJ and all-round heart-throb Raul Botella. Add dancers from queer collective Homoparody, and we’re talking a proper winter knees-up with enough sparkle to guide Santa’s sleigh.
There’s also a wholesome twist amid the debauchery. Guests can enter a £250 Christmas Raffle Giveaway, with proceeds supporting Stonewall Housing’s vital work for LGBTQ+ people facing homelessness. Party hard, do good. It’s very on brand.
This is exactly the sort of event that makes London feel like the queer capital of the world. A night where no one’s too much and everyone’s welcome to be loud, soft, camp, chaotic or gloriously unbothered. So gather your favourites, dust off your festive lewks and dive head-first into a ball pit of queer Christmas magic.
Because when SISSIES throw a party, missing out simply isn’t an option.
