The Ultimate List of Christmas Christian Kids Shows
Some of the best moments of the Christmas season with kids come when everyone cuddles up on the couch to enjoy a holiday show or movie. And we especially love when those programs point us back to the true reason for the season. Thankfully, here at Minno, that’s what we’re all about with fun and meaningful Christian kids shows for children of all ages this Christmas. And while we believe your kids will enjoy ‘em all, we’re here to help you choose where to start.
Maybe you’ll appease the kid with all the questions, the one who wants to watch an old favorite, or—let’s be real—the kid who needs a reminder about why we celebrate. Wherever you start, we hope to fill your home with holiday cheer all season long.
Christmas Christian Kids Shows for Kids Who Love the Classics
Because nostalgia is one of our favorite parts of the Christmas season.
1. Laugh and Grow Bible for Kids: Christmas
Tune in to with Minno’s Laugh and Grow Bible crew to learn about God’s promises to His people long ago—to make Abraham’s family into a great nation and to give him a descendant who would be the Savior of the world. That’s what Christmas is all about. Your kid will learn that Jesus is the fulfillment of a long-ago promise—and he’s also our friend. (Watch for free on Minno in English here and in ASL here!)
