Matt Rogers isn’t just celebrating Christmas this year—he’s owning it. Crowned the official “Prince of Christmas” for December, he’s bringing festive cheer with a wink, a laugh, and a whole lot of sparkle. With his “Prince of Christmas Tour,” Rogers is hitting cities across the U.S. and Toronto, delivering an unmissable mix of humor, holiday spirit, and dance-pop anthems from his album Have You Heard of Christmas?. The music is a cocktail of irreverent, catchy bangers that are just as funny and dirty as they are jolly—exactly what we need to ring in the holiday season.

To add to his hectic schedule, Rogers stars in No Good Deed on Netflix, a drama that follows three very different families competing to purchase a 1920s Spanish-style villa. Each family believes that owning the house will solve their problems, leading to a tense and dramatic showdown as they fight for their version of a fresh start.

His tour, which kicked off at the Fonda Theatre in Los Angeles, has fans flocking to see the man himself don his best “gay apparel” (yes, that Christmas pun). It’s clear that Rogers isn’t just here to perform; he’s here to slay. Moments before hitting the stage in LA, he let VMAN snap exclusive photos of him getting ready backstage, a glimpse into the prep behind his larger-than-life stage persona.

This isn’t just a holiday tour—it’s a celebration of everything that makes Rogers the “Prince of Christmas.” With every show, he’s not just spreading festive cheer—he’s redefining what it means to bring joy, laughter, and a little bit of naughty into the season. So, let’s all rise for the reigning royalty of Christmas, shall we?

“I get very chatty in the makeup chair.”

“Caught warming up my voice. Lots of sounds being made. Mostly nasal and glottal. But it gets the job done.”

“Casually posing backstage at the Fonda before heading over to the premiere of Netflix’s No Good Deed.”

“I found this shirt while thrifting on Melrose and I had to have it for the premiere. It’s from Lost Daze. I love them. Great in-store vibes.”

“I think the skulls speak a bit to the themes of the show. And also it’s an excuse to wear bright blue in December (traditionally a very red and green time, you understand).”

“At the premiere of No Good Deed.”

“In the process of becoming the Prince of Christmas for my show at The Fonda.”

“Very much surrounded by tea, although the truth is I just drink a lot of room temperature water before I have to sing a ton.”

“Crowning it, Prince of Christmas-style.”

“I feel like a vest is a very princely thing to have.”

“I actually drew the vision for the tour ensemble on a napkin and sent it to my stylist, Michael Fisher, who is a style magician and always brings me to life, three years running now.”

“Knee high boots were a must. I was concerned they’d feel heavy on stage, but they’ve been worth it.”

“Eat it, Fiyero. That’s an order ;)”
