APO partnered with LGBTQ+ organizations and other nonprofits across the country not only to enjoy an evening of holiday cheer, but to use this performance as an opportunity to raise awareness of the organizations working for equality in the United States. Although this broadcast was viewable free of charge, donations are encouraged to support APO and their partner organizations. Each partnering organization was given a unique donation code that individuals can use to allocate 50% of their donation to that group.

"Drag Out the Holly" was filmed live in Washington, DC, at Meridian International Center following strict COVID protocols to protect APO's musicians and artists health and safety. This production was filmed outdoors in front of a small, live audience.
