Tyler Perry’s latest Christmas movie is now available to watch on Netflix. The Gospel of Christmas began streaming worldwide today.
The movie follows Isaac, played by Durrell “Tank” Babbs, a pastor who takes over his family’s church in a struggling New York neighborhood. With Christmas approaching, Isaac must find a way to save the church from foreclosure while dealing with personal struggles and problems within his community.
Isaac moves into the neighborhood with his wife, Rebecca, played by Fantasia Barrino Taylor. However, saving the church isn’t easy. He faces temptation, a dangerous enemy, and growing doubts about his faith.
As things get worse, Isaac must find his faith in prayer again to protect his family, church members, and the community. Tyler Perry wrote and directed the movie, which was inspired by gospel music that helped him through difficult times in his own life.
The movie features several well-known gospel singers, including Shirley Caesar, Yolanda Adams, Fred Hammond, Smokie Norful, Jekalyn Carr, CeCe Winans, Ann Nesby, and Vanessa Bell Armstrong. Members of The Clark Sisters, including Jacky Clark Chisholm, Twinkie Clark, and Dorinda Clark, also appear.
Other cast members include Hezekiah Walker, Chanté Moore, Ricco Ross, and Pastor John Gray.
Speaking to Netflix’s Tudum, he explained how important it was to have talented gospel artists help tell the story. He also said that people who already love gospel music will recognize the performers, while those who are new to it will enjoy discovering them through the movie.
The Gospel of Christmas is Perry’s third Christmas movie, following A Madea Christmas and Finding Joy. The film brings together a large group of gospel performers for a story about faith, family, and the importance of community.
The Gospel of Christmas is now streaming on Netflix as of November 11, 2026.
