“It’s a lot of fun,” he said. “It celebrates the origin of Christmas, the nativity story, and you learn something new every time you watch it.”
Downes hopes that those who come to watch the film will not only be entertained but also be encouraged to “love on each other through the experience of watching the movie.”
On Tuesday, Kingdom Story Company announced that it has renewed a three-year first-look deal with Lionsgate. In 2024, the two companies collaborated on “Ordinary Angels,” which starred Hilary Swank and Alan Ritchson, “Unsung Hero,” which starred for KING + COUNTRY’s Joel Smallbone, and “The Best Christmas Pageant Ever.”
“The Best Christmas Pageant Ever” is now playing in theaters.
