About Priest and the Ugly Christmas Tree
Priest and the Ugly Christmas Tree is a small Christmas tale about a recently appointed pastor, who notices how the suburban residents are struggling in the slushy, Finnish Christmas landscape. He decides to cheer them up, get the largest Christmas tree in the area and recruit the community to help decorate it. Based on true events from a few years ago.
Directed by Maarit Lalli, Priest and the Ugly Christmas Tree leans on a strong ensemble — Juha Hippi, Kaija Pakarinen — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 2025.
