As the season of twinkling lights and festive cheer draws near, nothing ignites the holiday spirit like a new holiday movie. Fans of heartfelt comedies can now look forward to “The Best Christmas Pageant Ever”, a Lionsgate film directed by the acclaimed Dallas Jenkins. The film’s second trailer has just been released, building excitement for its November 8, theatrical debut.
A Peek into the New Trailer
The latest trailer offers a fresh glimpse into the story of the Herdmans—infamously dubbed “the worst kids in the history of the world.” Known for causing trouble, these mischief-makers somehow wind up in charge of their town’s Christmas pageant. What unfolds is a humorous, chaotic, and unexpectedly touching journey that might just remind everyone what Christmas is truly about.
A Star-Studded Cast
This holiday comedy boasts a talented ensemble, including:
- Judy Greer as Grace, a loving yet frazzled mother trying to salvage the pageant.
- Pete Holmes as Bob, her husband, offering his trademark comedic timing.
- Lauren Graham, known for her charm in “Gilmore Girls”, adding her signature appeal.
- Elizabeth Tabish and Kirk B.R. Woller, rounding out the cast with compelling performances.
Why “The Best Christmas Pageant Ever” Stands Out
Directed by Dallas Jenkins—best known for “The Chosen”—this adaptation of Barbara Robinson’s classic book offers more than just laughs. The screenplay, co-written by Jenkins, Darin McDaniel, Platte Clark, and Ryan Swanson, expertly balances humor with heart. The film explores themes of transformation, family, and the deeper meaning of the Christmas season, making it a potential holiday favorite for years to come.
Conclusion
“The Best Christmas Pageant Ever” is shaping up to be a delightful addition to this year’s holiday movie lineup. With its blend of comedy, chaos, and heartwarming moments, this film has the potential to become a new Christmas classic. Be sure to mark your calendars for November 8 and prepare for a holiday movie that will bring plenty of laughter and maybe even a few unexpected lessons along the way.
