The Herdmans are absolutely the worst kids in the history of the world. They lie, they steal, they bully…and now they’ve hijacked the town Christmas pageant. Directed by Dallas Jenkins (“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 in over their heads, especially against a town that wants them to kick the Herdmans out. 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.

00:00You
00:05Okay, everyone
00:09For as long as I can remember our little town has loved Christmas
00:13And nothing is more important than our annual Christmas pageant. The pageant is sacred
00:19Special mention to grace for volunteering to direct the pageant
00:24But this year the Herdman's changed everything now
00:30The Herdman's are absolutely the worst kids in a history of the world
00:44Ready for this
00:46I'm gonna be in your Bible play. This is gonna be a real disaster
00:50That's the spirit
00:52Would anyone like to volunteer for Mary and Joseph? Who's Mary baby Jesus's mom Elmer?
00:59You usually like playing Joseph
01:03Suppose that's that then
01:06The Herdman's shouldn't be here. They're a poor influence
01:11It might be the first Christmas pageant in history where Joseph and the Wiseman get in a fight and Mary hightails it with the baby
01:19Five bucks say they burn down the manger
01:22Wow
01:27This year we get to be someone else live a different life become someone new
01:34Why are they still here Jesus was born for the Herdman's as much as he was for us
01:41We'll be missing the whole point now if we turn them away
01:48I'm not quite sure what's gonna happen
01:51Maybe that's not a bad thing
01:53Because Mary and Joseph weren't so sure either
01:58She's crying Mary's crying it's going to be the best Christmas pageant ever
02:14Today we're going to ignore everything except blood
02:16Now that's a pageant I'd actually like to see
