The Herdmans are the "worst kids in the world." They're rude and intimidate the other kids and everyone avoids them like the plague. While a new mom runs the annual Sunday school Christmas pageant, the Herdmans demand to be a part of the project and end up teaching the town a thing or two about prejudice and hypocrisy. This special is very sweet in a quaint, old fashioned way that is devoid of any modern cynicism. It offers a very straightforward message of empathy without feeling excessively sappy or disingenuous.
