The Christmas News Report: a 5-Minute Skit

Summary:
Breaking news from Bethlehem! In this fun, modern twist on the Nativity story, two newsroom anchors and their field reporters cover the most miraculous headline in history—the birth of Jesus. Live “interviews” with shepherds, wise men, and even a regretful innkeeper bring humor and heart to this short play, reminding everyone that the good news is still worth sharing today.

Perfect for youth groups, middle school students, or Christmas worship services, The Christmas News Report uses light comedy, simple props, and creative storytelling to bring the first Christmas into a modern-day newsroom.
