The First Presidency Announces 2025 Christmas Devotional Broadcast

LDS Gospel November 06, 2025

SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH — November 5, 2025

The First Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has extended a warm invitation to all individuals, families, and friends to tune in to the annual First Presidency’s Christmas devotional broadcast. This special, Christ-centered event is scheduled to air on Sunday, December 7, 2025.

A Focus on the Savior

This uplifting devotional will feature inspiring messages from Church leaders and beautiful music performed by The Tabernacle Choir and Orchestra at Temple Square. The program is a wonderful way to center the holiday season on the life and mission of Jesus Christ.

A Prerecorded Event

This year’s broadcast marks a change in format: it will not be a live, ticketed event open to the public. Instead, the entire devotional was prerecorded on the set of the Church's "Savior of the World" production in Salt Lake City.
