Where to watch ‘The Chosen’ Christmas special tonight, ahead of Christmas Eve

The Christmas story will come to life in a compelling way in a special episode of the hit Bible series “The Chosen,” airing on The CW Network on Christmas Eve.

The episode goes back and forth between Joseph and Mary’s journey to Bethlehem and 10 years after the death of Christ, where an older Mary shares the story with Mary Magdalene.

The special will also feature a performance of “Joy to the World (Joyful Joyful)” by Phil Wickham on the set featuring Jordan Feliz, Bryan & Katie Torwalt, Maverick City and The Bonner Family.

“I’m thrilled The CW is airing this Christmas episode, it’s a great introduction to ‘The Chosen’ to anyone who hasn’t seen it yet. The perspective we show of this story honors the Gospel narrative while also exploring the cultural, historical and personal context that hasn’t been portrayed before,” Dallas Jenkins, creator of “The Chosen,” said.

“The Chosen” Executive Producer Derral Eves previously told The Christian Post that viewers can expect an “amazing” experience that showcases the birth of Christ through the eyes of Mary and Joseph and highlights the hardships they endured.

“We’re giving symbolism to the importance of certain things around the nativity that most people just push aside, or they might sing about it, but not really have the context of what that means,” Eves said.

“With ‘The Chosen,’ we try to do things disruptive. We try to do things outside the box. And we do believe that sometimes you need to do that to get more eyeballs on certain things.

“The Chosen,” the largest fan-supported entertainment project of all time, has been watched by 94 million people worldwide since its launch in 2019. “The Chosen” season three launched in November. … (Excerpt from The Christian Post)
