WHAT

A high-energy, comedic Christmas skit about a child who accidentally wanders away from their group at a Christmas Tree Festival. As they search for “the right tree,” they meet overly dramatic carolers, stressed organizers, confused volunteers, and shoppers who all misunderstand what the child is looking for. After chaos and comedy, they learn the true meaning of Christmas: Jesus at the center.

THEME

Holiday traditions are fun, but Jesus is the real reason for the season.

WHO

• LOST CHILD – Curious, expressive, hilarious in their confusion
  
  

• CAROLERS (2–3) – Overly dramatic, loud, easily distracted
  
  

• FESTIVAL ORGANIZER – Frazzled, fast-talking, always holding a clipboard
  
  

• SHOPPER – Thinks the child is looking for sales
  
  

• GUIDE/HELPER CHILD – Finally leads the Lost Child to the nativity story
  
  

• OPTIONAL EXTRAS – People wandering among trees
  
  

HOW

Use a simple stage divided into three zones:

• Zone 1: Various Christmas trees (cardboard or real)
  
  

• Zone 2: Caroler area with music cues
  
  

• Zone 3: A small “nativity” corner with a simple manger prop for the ending
  
  

Actors move quickly between spaces, keeping energy up and transitions funny.

PROPS

• Christmas trees (cutouts or small artificial trees)
  
  

• Clipboards
  
  

• Carol sheet music
  
  

• Shopping bag
  
  

• Lost-and-found box (optional)
  
  

• Small manger or star prop
  
  

TIME

8–10 minutes
