Christian duo For KING + COUNTRY is set to captivate audiences this holiday season with their theatrical project, A Drummer Boy Christmas Live. Running from Dec. 5–9, this cinematic experience transforms their beloved Christmas show into a nationwide celebration. Fans can expect a fusion of heartwarming storytelling, musical artistry, and vibrant holiday production. Joel Smallbone expressed his excitement, noting, “This year, more than ever, we need love, joy, and peace to guide the season.”
From Stage to Screen
The project originated from the duo’s live performance at Houston’s Toyota Center, where 12,000 attendees witnessed the show’s creation. This film aims to make their Christmas magic accessible to audiences who might not experience it live. Smallbone reflected on the band’s long-standing Christmas tradition, saying, “We’ve done Christmas tours nearly every year, but this approach broadens our reach.”
Honoring the Spirit of Christmas
Central to A Drummer Boy Christmas Live celebrates Jesus’ birth and the transformative power of love. “This is singing about baby Jesus, redemption, and humanity,” Smallbone emphasized. The brothers hope to remind viewers of timeless values like patience, kindness, and goodness.
Looking Ahead: New Projects on the Horizon
While this theatrical endeavor marks the highlight of their holiday season, For KING + COUNTRY is preparing for a quieter year ahead. The band will take a break from touring to focus on writing, recording, and developing their next feature film, slated for production next fall. They promise to return stronger with new music and stories to share.
Supporters Praise, Critics Ponder
Fans appreciate the band’s innovative approach, while some wonder if a theatrical event matches live shows’ intimacy. Nevertheless, For KING + COUNTRY remains committed to delivering heartfelt experiences that resonate deeply.
