New York City
The Best Christmas Pageant Ever focuses on the unruly, ill-behaved children of the Herdman family who decide to take over the town’s church and Christmas pageant one Sunday. The Herdman children, who have never heard the Christmas story before, are cast in the pageant against the advice of fellow church members. The Christmas pageant is the most unusual one that the town has seen, but quite possibly the best one ever.
