WHAT
A silly, fast-paced mystery unfolds when the children arrive for rehearsal only to discover that the manger has vanished. They follow “clues,” question suspects (including a dramatic Santa who claims innocence), and uncover misunderstandings along the way. When they finally find the manger behind the puppet stage, they learn that Jesus—not the props—makes the nativity story meaningful.
THEME
Christmas isn’t about perfect decorations or props. It’s about Jesus at the center.
WHO
Detective Kid – takes the mystery way too seriously
Helper Kid – enthusiastic but confused
