Get ready to celebrate the holiday season with a new family flick from Lionsgate! The Best Christmas Pageant Ever adapts the bestselling novel by Barbara Robinson, brought to life by director Dallas Jenkins (The Chosen). The story follows the staging of a small town Christmas pageant, which finds its usual production upended by a family of mischief-making kids.
As The Best Christmas Pageant Ever hits theaters, we sat down with the stars to get in the Christmas spirit. Check out our chat with Judy Greer and Pete Holmes below.
About The Best Christmas Pageant Ever
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.
The Best Christmas Pageant Ever premieres in theaters November 8.
