#TheBestChristmasPageantEverMovie
Based on the beloved book, The Best Christmas Pageant Ever centers on the Herdmans - absolutely the worst kids in the history of the world. But this Christmas, they’re taking over their local church Pageant - and they just might unwittingly teach a shocked community the true meaning of Christmas.

[@TheChosenSeries]

We've got a few of our people involved, so we're fans. :)

[@agnesmary5160]

No wonder the movie is gonna exceed expectations!!!!💯😇🔥

[@ZowyDior]

I noticed Gaias! Lol I look forward to buying tickets for this one! Might find a church and sponsor an outing for the children to come and see!

[@kellioswald4662]

I’m excited!

[@Mj-ph1ox]

Oh how cool to see Gaias!

[@Good-DaySunshine]

❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@charlottewatts8933]

Knowing what an amazing director Dallas Jenkins is via The Chosen, I can't wait to see this movie! His commitment to excellence is 100%.

[@DallasJenkinsOfficial]

Ah, very kind. :)

[@Tiff72]

I agree!! Based on how well The Chosen is written and directed, this will be awesome as well!!🎉🎉🎉

[@DesignsByMissy222]

We are so Blessed to have him in our world!

[@miriam9069]

Agree

[@maggiemay725]

Totally agree! Every episode of the Chosen had me laughing and crying. I'm sure this one will be the same!

[@user-hi3ro7ys5s]

Two of our children were in this play when they were younger. It was so special! Can’t wait to see this movie.

[@elshaddaimyadonai777]

Congratulations Dallas Jenkins! Another blessing from the Lord! May the Lord continue to expand your territory. FOR GOD'S GLORYYYYY 🙏🏻

[@lfjgill6042]

Stay tight to the Holy Spirit, intrepid warrior!

[@tanahermosillohuyck6896]

"five bucks say they burn down the manger." 🤣🤣🤣 Can't wait to see this movie!!!!!!! 🎄🎥

[@nonyabidness5708]

I loved the book growing up. Lol

[@vickyplunk2250]

😂

[@mintiparrett7965]

I bet they will!

[@brendamyers5651]

Haha. Yep. I bet ya they will!

[@maudiegallopholm4727]

Yes that would be something kids do. Ha 😅

[@jennifercastro8836]

Dallas and Amanda, thank you for faithfully praying over this project until God's timing brought it to fruition. May it bless the masses with joy and the true meaning of Christmas!!

[@ZowyDior]

Yessss! Amen to this! So tired of horror movies at Christmas time and unworthy showings! I hope this is a tradition that they continue by providing us with a wholesome movie going experience!

[@trishcline7674]

Amen!!

[@DesignsByMissy222]

I totally agree! Everyone should know and understand the true meaning of Christmas!

[@stehaniehenson-rose-se2tu]

ABSOLUTELY 💯❤️🙏

[@michelledavis6344]

Even “messy” people deserve to enjoy Christmas. 😂

[@SherraOkamura-t8y]

I got a copy of this book from a friend nearly 40 years ago and fell in love with it. Since then I’ve bought a copy nearly every year for a gift for someone. Love the trailer. Congratulations, Dallas Jenkins. I know it’s going to be a hit.

[@IrisSATX]

2:23 🎉Wonderful news Dallas! I can’t wait to see it with my grandchildren 🥰♥️😘🙏🏽✝️🕊️💜

[@joel_casanova]

As someone who works with kids, this is exactly what every so called "trouble kid" needs: a chance and unconditional love. Too many are cut off from community because they don't fit the mold or weren't taught what they need to know. This looks beautiful!

[@lukeandmariannboyce6126]

Amen!

[@ginamicheletti5567]

Agreed!

[@toshapetronicolos2344]

🫶

[@maitai7681]

Thanks for sharing ❤

[@user-mz3oo4uz5m]

That’s who Jesus hung out with.

[@madisonwhovian943]

Love Elizabeth Tabish's shocked face when the kid says she wants to play Mary. 😅

[@dmcfarlane4976]

Oh my, I didn't realize it was her….I had to go back and watch. I would be watching this today if it were available to watch…Christmas in July.

[@debbiebriggs2867]

I'm sorry but that's not Liz Tabish.

[@dmcfarlane4976]

debbiebriggs2867 Yes it is, I just checked on IMDb and it is Elizabeth.

[@jbubak3601]

Elizabeth Tabish plays the part of one of the disapproving mother's, saying 'They are a poor influence'

[@JP2GiannaT]

...she looks VERY different with that hairstyle. 😂

[@ashleypenn7845]

My favorite Christmas book. My grandmother and I would read it aloud every year and laugh until we couldn't see straight. I hope they do it justice.

[@trevorlongley8995]

Thank you Dallas for not giving up hope of directing this! It’s a must see for me this year!!!

[@jeaniematthews5038]

I have to admit the trailer alone compels one to watch the movie, I love early Christmas presents like this.

[@showie5855]

It’s like Christmas in July!

[@elizabethreneeprima]

Yes! I haven't heard of it till now. My mom says she saw it a long time ago and it was great! So excited!

[@christinecartledge3015]

Can't wait. Reminds me a bit of my life story! Dallas and team, it looks like another movie with messages the world needs right now. Let's laugh and ugly cry together y'all.

[@jillwinn7399]

Right there I with ya!

[@adelewilson4806]

I have loved this book forever and can hardly wait to see the movie! Dallas Jenkins is an amazing director. This will be soooo good!

[@chuckoxford8674]

I am so looking forward to this movie! I had the book for years, kept meaning to read it and it would get buried. When I finally got around to reading it, it be came an annual tradition. There is so much value in this movie. I can’t say enough.

[@sharond4436]

With Dallas Jenkins as the director, it's got to be good! Thank you, Dallas, for pursuing your dream to direct this movie. So excited to see it SOON!😊

[@alexiiandnicole5464]

Finally a new Christmas movie about the real Christmas! Thank you Dallas for your perseverance!

[@beedabeee]

I remember playing Gladys in my church’s production of this play. Man, this brings back so many memories. I loved Gladys. Such a little spunky and troublemaking little girl, shouting “SHAZAM” and pretending to hit the shepards while on stage. I loved the characters and authenticity and comical moments of the story. I can’t wait to see this movie and start shouting “SHAZAM” all over again during Christmas just to bug my parents. 😂😅

[@Dockskip]

Can't wait to see this! How did I not know about the book.... I'm 58 for crying out loud 😅. Yay... A new Christmas tradition coming our way 🎉

[@dawnbowen3563]

Read the book! It's great. It will get you excited for the movie😊🎉

[@Gil-w6q]

America is hungry for a great Christmas themed movie...What a wonderful book to bring to us,,,Thank you to LIONS GATE for believing in Dallas , your faith is well placed! I restored my Google account to better support The Chosen , Pageant .... Thank you for this special premier , preview !

[@karinadelma]

What a great joke story.

[@nataliesorrey3412]

Well said!

[@TBerry-bu8nj]

OMGosh!! I’m so excited to see this. Literally made me laugh out loud. I think I might need to take tissues though!! ❤

[@AdventureAwaitsUs]

Yes!!🙌

[@marciegunter1049]

Yes!! I agree. I can’t wait for this.

[@user-rr2bx5wr1b]

This is absolutely wonderful! Congratulations, Dallas, for persevering to get the rights!

[@miriam9069]

Agree

[@starchild64]

A great example of perseverance! It inspires me in my own life to keep praying and not give up!

[@LeanneLopez-u4h]

God is so faithful Dallas. Everything in His timing. We just have to keep trusting and praying. I had goose bumps watching trailer because this was a gift from Him. I am so excited to watch it when it comes out. Keep praying and trusting. He is using you to bless so many people. He truly is amazing…..all the time!!!!

[@dlingle1262]

We are long overdue for a fun, family-friendly Christmas classic! Looking forward to bringing the whole family in November.

[@michellewilliams3915]

Knowing what Dallas has brought us with The Chosen, I can't wait to see this movie. He is a very spiritual man. Thank you Dallas.❤

[@manuelmarquez2231]

Can’t wait for this movie to come out! Thank you Dallas Jenkins! We are with you all the way! We know this was an answered prayer for you and it will bring the true meaning of Christmas to the world.

[@shilohauraable]

I cannot WAIT to see this movie! I worked with children for almost 50 years and many were like these "awful" kids. Many times they turned out to be some of my favorite people and I'm still in contact with them today. 😊 Jesus died for us all - Who are we to decide who deserves our love & who doesn't? I thank God He didn't turn ME away! I was a real sneaky snake when I was little! 🙄

[@lindatroxell1460]

This movie will add to the spirit of Christmas! The director is the BEST!!!

[@williamschellhaas8900]

Finally, what looks like a holiday movie the whole family can enjoy.

[@SuperFlaGal]

Agreed!

[@rachelp4241]

Yesss. I can tell it’s gonna be one my kids will get lots of laughs out of

[@leslieputtmann5702]

it does look amazing !

[@brucereynolds2047]

you certainly can't say that about many movies hopefully families will flock to see it together-it would be their best Christmas present (maybe ever)!

[@urbanpastor9276]

It is getting harder and jarder to find good wholesome movies, so I agree!

[@outoftheboxwithsallylove608]

I cried just watching the preview. What an amazing movie this is going to be! I will even go sit in the worst theatre seats I’ve ever sat in if I have to just to see it. Please get it in the Rolla, Missouri, theater? Dallas has done himself proud and made God’s heart happy on this one for sure! ❤❤❤❤

[@lilimccarthy8664]

I cried too! What a couple of saps 😂 it’s gonna be so good!

[@VarinkaWilliams]

Me too!!!!

[@kimmcinnis4199]

I think so too!

[@lynnebraswell2725]

Me too

[@JShip5]

Me too!!!

[@Caddoty]

I’ve read this to my students every Christmas season for years. Can’t wait to see it.

[@mitzihorrocks4645]

Dallas Jenkins, we're SO excited to see that you and your wife's years of prayers were answered and your dream come true. This movie was meant to be made by you, and only YOU! You Brother have now gone down forever in history. Right alongside "It's A Wonderful Life", "Home Alone", and even the "Christmas Story" will be your version, your own masterpiece leaving footprints on the hearts of multiple generations. Thank you for sharing this movie and "The Chosen" with us all. You and your family are loved, the world over.

[@JodiSchwartz-Drake-Traugott]

Looking forward to taking my grandchildren to see this movie! Thank you for blessing all of us and praying for blessings for your family as well!!

[@ragamuffinrae]

Oh my gosh Goosebumps and almost tears when the mom said Jesus was born for the herdmans to it's not about me. Cannot wait for this!❤❤❤❤❤

[@nancyzeman1748]

I directed this as our high school Christmas production a few years ago. It was fun and there wasn’t a dry eye when it was over. Can’t wait!

[@HeWillAdd65]

It’s awesome to see that this special project near and dear to Dallas’ heart is now a reality. I’m sure it’ll be the same superior caliber film making that we’ve grown to love and expect from him. Looking forward to this very much!

[@DeannaMcCleary]

I am a superfan of The Chosen. The work that Dallas and Amanda Jenkins do to spread God's message is so inspiring. Because they stayed the course and prayed and waited for God's timing, I know this movie will be awesome! Can't wait to see it!

[@debbieflanagan4287]

I also love Dallas and Amanda Jenkins. I know this movie will be amazing.

[@roxannejenkins3438]

Agree!

[@agervais8383]

OK Dallas & Amanda, I'm already crying...!!!

[@nitabarnes3200]

I've been looking forward to this story being made into a movie for a long time! I'm so grateful for all the work Dallas Jenkins, his wife Amanda, and Lionsgate have invested to make this production, without a doubt, a tradionally watched Christmas movie.

[@Menopocalypse]

This is one of my favorite stories, and I still can't read it without crying - I can't wait to see this!

[@AngelaGreene1025]

BEEN WAITING ON THE REMAKE FOR YEARS!!!!!!!! I AM SO GLAD DALLAS GOT TO DO IT❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@gloria1895]

Me too!! I have the original on DVD. I can’t wait to see Dallas’ version! Heart❤

[@morganedwards6365]

I will absolutely be at the theater for THIS movie! Thanks Dallas for persistence & prayer!

[@peggybreton5386]

Dallas and Amanda, i truly believe that through your perseverance in acquiring the rights and getting this project off the ground, you will most certainly have a beloved hit on your hands!! With your gift of writing/directing/producing, etc., i am excited to see your modern day spin on this timeless classic!!

[@CharlesWaltke]

I can't wait to see this. We had the original tv special on VHS growing up and watched it every Christmas. Also, Pete Holmes is one of my favorite comedians.

[@juliedesandre8024]

I can't wait to take my family and neighbors!!! I know this story will bless our lives, and lead us to Christ. Thank you thank you for your constant faithfulness and trust in God's timing. ❤ You are in our constant prayers...that you will continue to receive our Savior's added light, strength, comfort and peace as you share His teachings!

[@leslieputtmann5702]

well said !

[@Disciplers]

Us too

[@kennethreed4307]

Me too

[@dlsdsj]

I’m so excited, too, that Dallas got the rights to do this movie! I love the story and will definitely go see it when it comes out! Dallas and team do such an excellent job with The Chosen that I know the quality of making this book into a movie will be incredible as well!!!

[@CurtisMcInnis-o9g]

Love the scene where goes into momma bear mode when someone tries to touch Baby Jesus 😂. “DON’T YOU TOUCH HIM!” Protection borne of mother love. She may not look the part of Mother Mary, but she understood the enormity of Mary’s task. Looks like a fabulous movie.

[@patsygbutler]

Think this will truly open eyes and hearts for a Christmas to remember. Jesus loves the little children... even the Herdmans!

[@Pegable1010]

To see Dallas' faithful, long term prayers to direct this movie come to fruition is just incredible. I can't WAIT to see it!! Love the trailer 😂❤

[@DWhoLover]

“And the Angel of the Lord?” [With the shriek of a thousand demons] “ME” 😂 I can’t wait to see this. Great cast, awesome story, fantastic director.

[@jeanielegendre6057]

[@michelezintz9522]

[@toddkunkler]

Can't wait to see this classic story come to life. Dallas Jenkins has been doing an incredible job on The Chosen; I'm sure that this production will be of the same top quality.

[@Ephesians_3_20]

Hands down one of my all time favorite children's books for Christmastime! Full of laugh-out-loud moments and moments that tug at your heart. I can't wait!

[@TeresaStonum]

I watched one of the older movies made and your trailer alone has more heart than the older movie had in its entirety. Can't wait to see it

[@pamfreed9190]

I CAN’T WAIT! Made me tear up at the end of the trailer just like I do at the end of the book when I read to my class every year. Barbara Robinson would be so happy to see this. Thank you Dallas for bringing this story to the masses - we all need this right now. ❤❤❤

[@pamfreed9190]

I see a field trip to the theater when we finish reading this this year!

[@Sherriedc]

This movie is going to become a Christmas tradition. I read the book last night and it was delightful. Thanks to Dallas and Amanda Jenkins for giving us this “Christmas present”

I loved the Trailer. Can hardly wait for the full movie. Funny, sweet, and awesome theme that God loves everyone! Not just the perfect. Thank you Dallas for pursuing this precious project. The world needs the message of the movie and a good laugh as well. The children are amazing and talented. Again thank you for getting it out there and in time for Christmas. God Bless you and Amanda.

[@hall1739]

Not for this I'm assuming, but someday Judy Greer deserves an Oscar for best supporting actor in all the things.

[@MissFrisky1221]

Agreed! She's great!

[@margareth5501]

Why not this?

[@noirishluck4me]

Judy Greer is highly underrated! God blessed her with such talent and at least we appreciate her and her heart, even if the many Academies don't. But they really really need to.

[@brendaprosser6954]

I can't wait to see this. I am so happy that there will be a light hearted, quality Christmas movie that doesn't use profanity, violence or mockery of faith. The fact that Dallas Jenkins is involved guarantees a quality production. Thank you Mr. Jenkins, thank you Lionsgate and thank you Jesus😊

[@ivonnegarcia56]

Well said, exactly what I was thinking.

[@carolyndietrich8214]

I agree that the fact that Dallas is involved guarantees a quality production!

[@afkoppauthor]

I was in a local play of this growing up. Super excited because the story is so important!

[@davidgras494]

Congratulations Dallas and Amanda….the trailer itself was already giving us great moments in this Christmas story…🙏🎄❄️

[@laurap7]
