Theme: Sharing the Good News in a Modern World
Time: 7 Minutes
Format: PDF Download
Characters:
- Sam the Reporter: An energetic youth group member acting as a journalist.
- Beth: A calm friend dressed as Mary, mother of Jesus.
Setting: Centre stage, styled like a newsroom or “biblical dress” scene.
Summary:
This Christmas skit is a comedic take on the nativity story—as if it were breaking news on live television. Sam, the reporter, interviews Mary (Beth) about the “breaking event” of the birth of Jesus. They hilariously discuss Roman soldiers, shepherds in the fields, and the “bright light incident over Bethlehem.”
Amid the laughter, Sam begins to understand the spiritual depth behind the story. He realizes that this isn’t just news—it’s the Good News.
Funny moments include Sam mistaking the star of Bethlehem for a drone and asking Mary if she had to sign a “privacy waiver for the manger.” Beth’s gentle faith slowly turns his humor into humility.
By the final scene, Sam ends the broadcast with the powerful line:
“Good evening, everyone. This is Sam with the Nativity News Network—reminding you that when all else fails, God’s plan still shines bright.”
Message: The Christmas story is still breaking news—eternal and life-changing.
Discussion Questions:
- How would the nativity story look if it happened today?
- How can we share the Good News with humor and reverence?
