Grace Bradley and the Bradley Family (daughter Beth, son Charlie, and husband/father Bob Bradley) have to take over their church's annual Christmas pageant after the original director (Mrs. Armstrong) breaks her leg. Things don't get any better when Charlie Bradley tells Leroy Herdman, one of six (Imogene, Ralph, Leroy, Ollie, Claude, and Gladys), that people who go to Sunday School get free refreshments, to make him feel dumb about stealing his dessert. This makes the Herdman clan infiltrate the only safe place in town.

The next Sunday during Sunday school, Imogene hears about the pageant and asks know-it-all Alice Wendleken (best friend of Beth Bradley) what a pageant is. Imogene gets so interested in this "Christmas Pageant" that she decides to sign all the Herdmans up for all the main parts. This could only mean one thing; TROUBLE!

In the end, the Herdmans become a better family and they find out the true meaning of love.

The whole family is guaranteed to have a roaring good time this holiday season with the cast and crew of "The Best Christmas Pageant Ever".
