    Looking for a Christmas play besides Its a Wonderful Life and Christmas Carol that are good for high school students.  Any good recommendations.

    Lauren Gunderson has three Christmas plays based on the characters from Pride and Prejudice. It's a trilogy of sorts, but each play can also stand completely on its own:
    - Miss Bennet: Christmas at Pemberley 
    - The Wickhams: Christmas at Pemberley 
    - Georgiana and Kitty: Christmas at Pemberley

    Another fun one is The Best Christmas Pageant Ever, by Barbara Robinson

    We did A Wicked Christmas Carol by Bobby Keniston last fall. It is the Christmas Carol story but with Wizard of Oz characters. The Wicked Witch of the West is the Scrooge character. Really fun play! I know its basically A Christmas Carol but the twist really makes it different. It is licensed through Playscripts.

    I highly recommend The Holiday Channel Christmas Movie Wonderthon …. It's hilarious. It pokes fun at all the Hallmark Christmas Movies. My kids loved being a part of it and the audience really loved it! We did it during COVID & everyone felt it was the perfect show to lift spirits & the decor of Christmas alone always puts everyone in a good mood.

    Hello! I tried to post some suggestions earlier but it looks like the info was cut off. I'll try again. :)

    Lauren Gunderson has a trilogy of sorts of "Christmas at Pemberley" shows, all inspired by the characters from Pride and Prejudice:
    Miss Bennet: Christmas at Pemberley
    The Wickhams: Christmas at Pemberley
    Georgiana and Kitty: Christmas at Pemberley
    - Any of the three can be performed individually and are still easy to follow, even if you haven't read Pride and Prejudice before.

    Another fun one is The Best Christmas Pageant Ever, by Barbara Robinson (there may be another adaptation out there as well).

    I've also seen the play version of A Christmas Story (by Philip Grecian), which was done really well and was very funny and nostalgic. 

    Hope this helps!
