Prime Video‘s standout historical drama has announced the perfect Christmas treat for fans, with full details arriving weeks in advance. One of the streamer’s most successful shows, the series has earned positive reactions from viewers worldwide and still holds a near-perfect 97% Popcornmeter score on Rotten Tomatoes. It has also performed strongly on the platform, reaching No. 1 in the US after Season 5 debuted in June 2025 and remaining in the streamer’s top 10 through the end of the year.
Created, directed, and co-written by filmmaker Dallas Jenkins, The Chosen tells the poignant story of Jesus through the eyes of those who encountered him during his short life. They include his disciples, Jewish religious leaders, Roman government and military officials, and ordinary people. The Christian series’ pilot aired on Facebook on December 24, 2017, before its first season premiered two years later on the faith-based streaming service VidAngel. Five seasons have been released so far, though Season 6 is set to premiere on November 15, 2026.
With The Chosen Season 6 just days away, the beloved franchise—which has spawned two spin-off series—returns in December with an all-new release, this time on network TV, per TV Insider. Titled The Chosen: The Three Kings, the drama is the final chapter in the franchise’s Christmas trilogy, following 2017’s The Shepherd and 2021’s Christmas With The Chosen: The Messengers. The Christmas special premieres December 14, 2026, at 8/7c on Fox, then streams the next day on Hulu. It airs during The Chosen Season 6, after the first six episodes drop but before the two-episode theatrical finale about the Crucifixion debuts in March 2027.

Collider QuizWhichChristmas VillainAreYou?8 Questions · 5 AntagonistsEvery Christmas story needs somebody standing in the way of it. Some of them are reformable, some of them are having far too good a time, and one of them meant well the entire way through. Eight questions will work out which one you are.The Lineup

Gruber

The List Has Been CheckedYou Are
Your answers point to the Christmas antagonist who shares your particular objection to
December, your method for dealing with it, and your odds of being forgiven by the final scene.
1966The GrinchHow the Grinch Stole Christmas!It was never the presents. It was the noise.
You are not against joy. You are against volume, obligation, and being told when to feel things, which in December amounts to a full-time grievance.Why This Is You
The Grinch spends an entire special engineering the perfect scheme and loses to a town that
simply keeps singing. The plan was never the weak point. The premise was.
You share his real quality, which is not cruelty but sensitivity, badly handled and pointed
outward.
You are the most reformable name on this list, and the one who gets the best scene when it
finally happens.
Your heart is a measurement problem. It always was.
The NoiseReformableBest Turnaround
1843Ebenezer ScroogeA Christmas CarolThe ledger was always correct. That was the problem.
You are not cruel so much as closed. The arithmetic of your life has been right for years, and it has quietly cost you everything that was never on the sheet.Why This Is You
A Christmas Carol has outlasted nearly everything else written in 1843 because Dickens made
the antagonist the only character who changes.
You have the same shape. Show you the evidence and you will not argue with it, which is
rarer than it sounds.
Your turnaround, when it arrives, is total and slightly embarrassing in its enthusiasm. You
will overpay for a goose.
Nobody doubts you were wrong. The story is about what you do on the morning after you find
out.
You are the best-dressed and best-briefed person in any room, and you have never once been the one who lost control of the situation. Until the one time.Why This Is You
Hans Gruber turned a Christmas party into a stage, and became the template every charming
antagonist has borrowed from since.
You share the method: preparation, presentation, and an absolute refusal to raise your
voice.
Your plan is better than everyone else’s plan. It accounts for everything except one
person who was not supposed to be in the building.
You will be remembered for the manners rather than the scheme, which is exactly how you
would want it.
The SuitThe TimetableOne Variable
1990The Wet BanditsHome AlonePhysics. Repeatedly. In the face.
You are not sophisticated, not subtle, and not remotely discouraged. You have been outwitted by an eight-year-old and a paint can, and you are already planning the return trip.Why This Is You
Home Alone works because its antagonists are indestructible and completely undeterred, which
turns the whole thing into a cartoon.
You have that same quality. Setbacks do not register with you as information. They register
as delay.
You argue with your partner constantly and you would never once consider working with
anybody else.
You will be back. Worse plan, identical enthusiasm, same outcome.
PersistentNever LearnsComing Back
1993Jack SkellingtonThe Nightmare Before ChristmasYour heart was right. Your judgment was not.
You did not set out to ruin Christmas. You wanted to understand it, and then improve it, and then run it, and somewhere in that sequence it went very wrong.Why This Is You
The Nightmare Before Christmas gives you an antagonist who is also the hero: someone whose
enthusiasm vastly outpaces his research.
You are the same. You commit completely to things you have not finished understanding, and
the commitment is genuinely the best thing about you.
An entire town believed in you, which removed the one thing that might have stopped this:
somebody willing to say no.
You will learn the lesson. You will have forgotten it by October.

Fearing regime change or death, they journey to honor the newborn king. However, their shocking discovery upon arrival changes their lives and the world forever.
