Dallas Jenkins’ “The Best Christmas Pageant Ever” Hits the Big Screen (After 20 Years!)

Silent Night… hold on tight! You’re about to experience “The Best Christmas Pageant Ever” with the worst kids in the history of the world! After 20 years of working to gain the rights, Dallas Jenkins, creator of “The Chosen,” has finally brought the beloved Christmas classic “The Best Christmas Pageant Ever” to the big screen. And in this special holiday episode, we bring the film to YOU through our field trip! We first share interesting background about the funny, heartwarming tale that first appeared as a short story in a 1971 issue of McCall’s, then discuss the long journey Dallas Jenkins took to realize his dream of turning “The Best Christmas Pageant Ever” into a feature film. We also share fun behind-the-scenes stories about the movie, which stars Judy Greer and Pete Holmes, with Lauren Graham serving as narrator.  Finally, we come to you directly from the movie theater after seeing an early release of the film! We share our impressions of the bonus content, a sneak peek at next season’s “The Chosen,” and of course the movie itself, which is being billed as the next timeless Christmas classic.  Best of all, we promise NO SPOILERS!
