In a separate conversation shared by USA Today, Costner said The First Christmas speaks to hope “for all of us,” especially people who feel weary or bruised by life. He points to the Nativity as a story where risk, fear and hardship sit right next to joy, and where the idea of Christmas as a “giving” and “inclusive” moment still matters.
Who It Is For
The First Christmas is aimed at viewers who want something more reflective than the usual light holiday movie, and who are open to a serious, faith-centered take on the Nativity. Early reviews note that it stays closely aligned with the biblical account while filling in some gaps with informed historical detail, all while keeping “Christ in Christmas” front and center.
