A 2024 faith-based adaptation of Barbara Robinson’s 1972 children’s novel follows the six notoriously delinquent Herdman siblings who bully their way into starring roles in a small-town church Christmas pageant. The story centers on the chaos they cause and the way the community ultimately learns the true meaning of Christmas through the nativity story, grace, and redemption. No audience-visible woke elements appear in the narrative, casting, or themes.
