For the ninth year, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints invites all to remember and celebrate Christ’s birth during the Christmas season through acts of kindness. These include adding light to existing holiday traditions, watching the Christ Child video, and finding a Giving Machine to donate to.

Children reenact the Nativity scene as part of the 2025 Light the World invitation to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ through meaningful Christmas traditions. The children—dressed as Mary, Joseph, shepherds, angels, and sheep—gather reverently around the manger, reflecting the campaign’s focus on acts of kindness, Christ-centered worship, and sharing the Christ Child video.

The Church has a dedicated webpage for the 2025 Light the World resources. On that page, you can:

  • Add Light to your Christmas traditions with an idea generator
  • Download a list of ideas to add Jesus Christ’s light to your existing holiday traditions
  • See ways to help a friend add light to their traditions
  • Learn about Light the World’s giving machine kiosks, where you can donate items to people in need, like chickens, shoes, and clothes
  • Watch The Christ Child video
  • Find a Church near you to worship
  • Learn more about the Church and meet with the missionaries
