It may only be the first week of November, but Christmas movie season is already in full swing. And you can celebrate by watching the new Lauren Graham and Judy Greer movie, The Best Christmas Pageant Ever, in theaters this weekend.
Directed by Dallas Jenkins—best known as the creator of the Christian TV series The Chosen—The Best Christmas Pageant Ever was written by Ryan Swanson, Platte Clark, and Darin McDaniel, who adapted it from the 1972 novel of the same name by Barbara Robinson. Judy Greer and Pete Holmes star as Grace and Bob Bradley, the parents six troubled foster children. But what better way to help foster children overcome their challenges than by entering them in the church Christmas pageant?
The Best Christmas Pageant Ever sounds like a traditional, uplifting holiday movie that is sure to put you in a festive state of mind. Read on for all the information on where to watch The Best Christmas Pageant Ever movie, and when we expect to see The Best Christmas Pageant Ever movie on streaming.
For now, The Best Christmas Pageant Ever will only available to watch in a movie theater, when it opens in the U.S. on Friday, November 8. You can find a showing near you via Fandango. The Best Christmas Pageant Ever is not yet available to watch online or on streaming.
The Best Christmas Pageant Ever is not streaming on Netflix or Amazon, and likely will not be on Netflix any time soon, due to the fact that the film is a Lionsgate release, and will likely stream on Starz, the streaming platform owned by Lionsgate, instead.
You will be able to purchase The Best Christmas Pageant Ever on Amazon Prime Video eventually, when the movie becomes available to buy and rent on digital, but you will not be able to stream The Best Christmas Pageant Ever on Prime Video free with a Prime subscription, because it is not a Prime original movie. If you want to watch The Best Christmas Pageant Ever movie at home, you’ll have to wait for the film to be available to buy or rent on digital platforms, or wait for it to stream on Starz.

The Best Christmas Pageant Ever is not yet streaming on Starz. You can expect to see The Best Christmas Pageant Ever on Starz eventually because that is the streaming platform owned by Lionsgate. Another Lionsgate film, The Strangers: Chapter 1, was released on “premium” video-on-demand after three weeks in theaters, and began streaming on Starz on September 30, about four and a half months after the movie opened in the theaters.
If The Best Christmas Pageant Ever movie follows the same release pattern, you can expect to see the movie on Starz in about four and a half months, which would be around March 2025.
That said, Starz and Lionsgate are expected to split up before the end of 2024, so it’s possible that The Best Christmas Pageant Ever will end up on a different streamer. We’ll just have to wait and see. In the meantime, you can always watch The Best Christmas Pageant Ever on the big screen.
