An Effective Sermon of Love, Humility and Acceptance
The New Indian Express Thiruvananthapuram|December 28, 2024
MOGENE Herdman (Beatrice Schneider) shouts, "They've had all kinds of chances," when the church begins adding names of participants for the 75th Christmas pageant in their town.

This line encapsulates the core message of inclusivity in The Best Christmas Pageant Ever, a film full of life that beams with positivity. Directed by Dallas Jenkins, the film begins with Beth (Molly Belle Wright/Lauren Graham) narrating the story of the troublesome Herdman siblings in their fictional neighborhood of Emmanuel. The Herdmans, estranged by their father and largely ignored by their mother, are ostracized by the community. Their presence is frowned upon, and they too really don't care about socializing with others in Emmanuel. Yet, as fate would have it, these children, who have never even stepped foot in a church, are cast in the leading roles of the Christmas pageant. Thus, Beth gains a profound understanding of the true meaning of Christmas.
