Need a Christmas story – for primary school level ish - on screen reading

I need a story to put up on screen for my English as a Foreign Language students to read out loud in an online class.I was going to use the Christmas story itself, but they are heavily Muslim, so instead I want a seasonal Christmas story instead. Standards are mixed but primary school level/early teens might be a good starter. Any ideas?

Alternatively a story they can act out - would need 10-15 parts.

Thanks in advance if anyone knows anything off-hand.
PS my PC is knackered so can’t browse for hours myself.

The Christmas Miracle of Jonathan Toomey
Twas the Night Before Christmas
The Polar Express
Jesus’ Christmas party ( lots of repetitive text and can be turned into a basic play) humour!

Christmas in Exeter Street is my very favourite children's Christmas story.

It seems perfect for your class: it ties in with the Christmas story (giving strangers shelter on Christmas eve) and also UK Christmas traditions of Santa, gifts and Christmas Dinner. But really, it showcases the very relateable values of family, community, welcome, everyone contributing what they can and being supported in what they need. It's absolutely lovely and heart-warming.

It also has lots of parts to act out (all the people who come and stay), and it's simple but gently humourous.

(It's also reduced on amazon for black friday!)
