Tonight, well-known actor Kevin Costner (Field of Dreams, Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, Yellowstone) invites viewers to slow down and remember the true meaning of Christmas in a new primetime special, "Kevin Costner Presents: The First Christmas."
In partnership with filmmaker David Cunningham, the two-hour presentation retells the story of Mary and Joseph’s journey to Christ’s birth in a deeply human yet scripture-based way, offering a tender, real look at the hope, fear, and faith surrounding the first Christmas.
What makes this special especially moving is its focus on the vulnerability, courage, and love shared by Mary and Joseph as they answered God’s calling in a time and place marked by violence, instability, and uncertainty. David Cunningham explained their goal was to “bring people back to the reason for the season - the Christ in Christmas.”
Through Kevin Costner’s calm, down-to-earth storytelling and an honest portrayal of the nativity story, this special hopes to draw people nearer to the heart of God during a season that can sometimes feel overshadowed by hustle and distraction. In the midst of it all... the light of Jesus is what truly should shine!
"Kevin Costner Presents: The First Christmas" will premiere on ABC, Tuesday, December 9th at 8 p.m. EST and will be available to stream the next day on Disney+ and Hulu.
Please know: I have not seen this special, but I am hearing from various sources that it is a wonderful, inspiring retelling of the birth of Jesus that focuses on putting Christ back in Christmas!
I hope you and your family will enjoy this special, moving presentation. I know my family and I are truly looking forward to watching this together.
