In theaters everywhere beginning November 8th

The newest film from Lionsgate and Kingdom Story Company is based on the beloved children’s book classic book. As of November 2023, The Best Christmas Pageant Ever by Barbara Robinson has sold more than 7 million copies since its publication in 1972.

The Herdman kids are absolutely the worst. They lie, they steal, they bully…and they’ve hijacked the town Christmas pageant. Directed by Dallas Jenkin (“The Chosen”) and based on the international bestseller by Barbara Robinson, THE BEST CHRISTMAS PAGEANT EVER follows six siblings who sneak into church searching for snacks and walk away with the lead roles in the town pageant. Grace (Judy Greer) is directing the performance for the very first time; she and her daughter Beth (Molly Belle Wright) and husband Bob (Pete Holmes) are less than amused. But the play’s mischievous stars might unwittingly teach a community the true meaning of Christmas. Featuring Lauren Graham. Screenplay by Ryan Swanson and Platte F. Clark & Darin McDaniel.

I watched this movie with my 13-year-old daughter and 16-year-old son and we were hooked. It is a great family movie and ever better (in my opinion) that its a Christmas movie! While we are not a religious family, I think this movie does a great job of appealing to everyone. My kids didn’t really know the story behind the meaning of Christmas and this movie does a great job explaining it all while making everyone laugh. I don’t know if I ever read the book but if you have then you will really appreciate the movie I’m sure. I love the characters and how the story wraps everything up. The ending is really great how they change it up but not in a bad way!
