The Chosen – The Story of the First Christmas is a moving Christmas special that brings the birth story of Jesus to life anew – seen through the eyes of Simon, a young shepherd with a physical disability. In a world where physical perfection counts as divine favor, Simon is mocked by others and ignored by religious leaders. Yet he remains faithful to his work, his people, and his faith.

While searching in Bethlehem for an unblemished lamb for the offering, Simon struggles with his self-worth. That inner struggle receives a heavenly answer when an angel appears and announces the birth of the Savior in the city of David. Not kings or priests are invited first, but shepherds—including Simon. What follows is a moving journey to a simple stable where Mary and Joseph are staying with their newborn son. No golden throne, but straw and silence; no rejection, but welcome. There Simon discovers that God’s greatest promise is fulfilled precisely for the small, the broken, and the forgotten.

With breathtaking imagery, a sensitive script, and a powerful message about hope, dignity, and inclusion, The Chosen – The Story of the First Christmas is the perfect Christmas film for families, churches, and anyone who wants to marvel at the true wonder of Christmas. This Christian Christmas special from the universe of The Chosen combines biblical authenticity with cinematic quality and is ideal to watch during Advent and the holidays.
