Anthem’s Jingle Ball is downtown Orlando’s queer holiday party — Saturday, December 12, 2026. Doors 9 PM. Full-production holiday takeover: winter-wonderland lighting design, drag Santas, holiday drink menu, and a room that reads like the best office holiday party you were never invited to. If you’re looking for a gay Christmas party in Orlando, a holiday drag show downtown, or where to take your chosen family for a night that isn’t a work function, this is it.
Note: Anthem’s Jingle Ball is not affiliated with the iHeartRadio Jingle Ball concert tour. Ours is a local Orlando LGBTQ+ holiday party, held annually at Anthem.
