A Heartwarming 9-Minute Christmas Skit About Sharing Christ’s Love Through Kindness

Operation Christmas Gift is a powerful, funny, and deeply meaningful Christmas skit designed for middle school to high school youth groups. With a cast of 7–8 actors, this 1500-word script follows a youth group on a mission to spread Christmas kindness throughout their town—one small act at a time.

Each teen chooses a different mission: baking cookies for a lonely neighbor, collecting toys for children in need, visiting hospital patients, shoveling snow, filming the journey, and writing an encouraging note. What starts as simple acts of kindness becomes a touching reminder that every small gesture can reflect the love of Jesus.

This skit is filled with humor, heartfelt moments, relatable characters, and a beautiful closing scene where the group sings Silent Night together. It’s easy to perform, requires minimal props, and is perfect for Christmas services, youth nights, school chapels, and outreach events.
