- - Snow, Sisterhood & Slayage: Alyssa Edwards and Silky Nutmeg Ganache Spill on Slaycation Season 2

When Slaycation returned for its second season on Friday, December 12 on WOW Presents Plus, it did so with a bigger budget, a colder climate, and an even deeper look at the queens behind the glam. Trading tropical fantasies for snow-covered challenges, the new season drops a cast of drag superstars into a luxurious mansion where competition, connection, and personal growth collide.

This season, the slaycationers come from across the globe: Nicky Doll (host of Drag Race France), Germany’s Tessa T, and Xana and Miss Fiercalicious from Canada, and Texas icons Alyssa Edwards and Silky Nutmeg Ganache, whose dynamic chemistry, competitive spirits, and heartfelt vulnerability anchor the season. What starts as a “girls’ trip” quickly transforms into something far more physical, emotional, and unpredictable than either queen expected. From snowball fights and street hockey to late-night dinners filled with laughter, prayer, and reflection, Slaycation Season 2 captures rare moments of joy, friction, and genuine sisterhood.

We caught up with Alyssa and Silky to talk about first impressions of the mansion, braving the cold, pushing past personal limits, and why this season left them feeling more supported – and more seen – than ever before.

Congrats on Slaycation! I’ve only seen the first episode, but it looks amazing. What were your first impressions of that gorgeous house and your fellow queens?

Alyssa: Hold on. I wanna know, what is your first impression of episode one? Does it look like it’s gonna be incredible?

I wanted to go. I wish I had been smuggled in one of your bags.

Alyssa: I’m not going to lie to you. I didn’t get to see season one of Slaycation. I did see some clips, so I didn’t know what to expect– but I will tell you, Silky and all the other queens were like, whoa. The budget though went up because we were in a mansion. We were in a lovely mansion.

I can only speak for me, but me and Silky both are Texas gals. I thought I was going on the ultimate girls trip to a very luxurious beach that I could lounge around on. I didn’t know I was going to be shoveling snow, hiking amongst the polar bears – it felt like, and chasing my hat when the wind blew it off, but it was absolutely beautiful. [It was] something I’ve never experienced and I could say that this will be something I will be able to check off my bucket list.

Silky: I had such an amazing time filming and going into that show, especially with so many girls – and we knew the cast. We found out the cast when we got on the plane and it was such an amazing experience to go there and experience that. I thought a girl’s trip would be somewhere tropical and we’d have a great time, but I didn’t realize that it would be so great just to be with them; and it just shows us that drag, no matter where you are, really unifies us. And it unites us in ways that we never could even imagine in the world today, especially with everything that’s going on in the world, that we can come together and unite. Now, did we fight and bump heads at times? Absolutely. But that’s the fun thing that you can watch us fight but also watch us work it out and come up with a resolve.

You took part in a lot of cold weather activities and challenges. Were there any that really tried your patience or were there any that brought out your inner child?

Silky: Ooh, the hockey definitely brought out my inner child because first of all, I know that the queens are very competitive when it comes to drag because we’re from a drag competition show. However…baby…these queens outside of drag get rough and tough and it makes me want to get rough and tough with them.

Being a plus-sized queen, I never allowed anyone to make my size stop me from doing anything. And getting on that show with them just motivated me and amplified my spirit that much more to make sure that I’m competitive and I don’t come in last place all the time. Did I come in last place? Sometimes? Absolutely. But guess what? I tried.

Alyssa: Oh, you finished. You never gave up. You never stopped. And it didn’t matter if you were first or last, Silky. You’re my MVP because you always finished and you dove into every single challenge full out. I was so inspired about how you participated in all these events, so don’t you undersell yourself, queen. Don’t you do it!

You know what? I don’t know about you, Silky, but as a kid, I didn’t get to experience snow a lot, so for me, this being in the snow brought out my inner child. I remember we had a snow day like twice when I was in elementary and then once in middle school and we would go get the little inner tubes and the trash can lids and go slide down the little hill and it was like, not even four inches of snow. It was just a little bit, and I always thought that was so fun.

So, this was exciting that we were in probably a few feet of snow. And I remember the fun parts of us, like getting off the bus, throwing snowballs at each other. That brought out my inner child when we were doing all of that. It was so silly. It was like, why are we out here just throwing snow at each other? And there weren’t any cameras rolling. It was just us being people, being peers, celebrating each other and being silly.

Now, if you could describe the show in three words, what would they be?

Alyssa: Ooh, okay. Are we going to collaborate this, Silky? Okay. We gotta put cold up in there on as one of them. Oh, that’s obvious. Nope. That ain’t gonna win the pageant. That’s obvious. Okay…slayed, we all got slayed.

Silky: Definitely got slayed.

Alyssa: You slayed me when you put me in the room with that child. But you also slayed the cooking.

Silky: I did slay the cooking. You slayed the competitions because you were very fierce. Absolutely.

Alyssa: Slayed is one and then I’m going to say unpredictable.

Silky: Very unpredictable! Honey, I thought a Slaycation wasn’t gonna be physical. I thought we’ll drink hot cocoa and twinkle our toes and talk about life…baby…they said, oh, the dolls is for the competition show honey. Y’all have to come out and bring out the real you. We wanna see the person behind the makeup.

Alyssa: It was unpredictable, but it was also unpredictable in the way too, that we got to know each other in a way. I feel like me and you know each other, we’ve slept at each other’s house. We also got to…listen, you’re in another country, phones are off. We also got to decompress and really connect on a different level. So, it was unpredictable ’cause I don’t think I predicted that either.

And then I met other people that it was like, wait. I like you. I like you as a person I respect your drag and your art, but I like you as a person. So, unpredictable. That’s a good one. Okay, the third one…what would be our third, girl? Oh, I have so many. One more word. Come on, Silky. What’s the third word?

Silky: The word for me would be joy. I got good joy out of being there with those girls and I left on such a high note, feeling supported, because a lot of times, we watch these drag competitions and some girls don’t feel supported. They feel all alone. But I never had a moment where I felt alone. I felt supported behind the cast, even in some of the challenges that we did, I felt supported at dinner when we had a good time…so, I don’t know if the last word would be joy or support.

Alyssa: You absolutely nailed that. You’re right. Us sitting at that table every night was so beautiful. Having those family talks…we would do the little prayers sometimes. It was very joyful. We would be at one minute playing street hockey, hitting each other rough and tough to get home, cooking together, sitting around, engaging with each other. Yeah. Joyful. Oh my gosh,

Silky: I got a chance to meet and know…like I think I knew Xana and Tessa the least and I felt like I walked away knowing a little part of them and that give me joy because they don’t live in the same country that we live in. They also let us know that queer people are all looking for the same thing and it’s love, joy, acceptance and to be seen and I think they walked away feeling seen and I felt seen…and tomorrow we’ll all be seen as you watch the premiere of Slaycation season two!
