Astronomers believe the Star of Bethlehem or "Christmas Star" could have been a real event explained by something as simple as Jupiter in opposition, which happens this year on Dec. 7.
The Star of Bethlehem is shown as a comet above the child. Giotto witnessed an appearance of Halley's Comet in 1301. The Star of Bethlehem, or Christmas Star, [1] appears in the nativity story of the Gospel of Matthew chapter 2 where "wise men from the East" are inspired by the star to travel to Jerusalem.

As part of the Countdown to Christmas (on the Hallmark Channel) and Miracles of Christmas (on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries), a new movie will premiere on the following days, leading up to Christmas:
The Twelve Days of Christmas (December 3, 1993, NBC) The Ugly Duckling's Christmas Wish (1996, syndication) Under the Christmas Tree (December 19, 2021, Lifetime) Up on the Housetop (1992, syndication) A Very Boy Band Holiday (2021, ABC) A Very Merry Cricket (December 14, 1973, ABC) A Very Murray Christmas (December 4, 2015/Netflix)
The variation extends even to the issue of how to count the days. If Christmas Day is the first of the twelve days, then Twelfth Night would be on January 5, the eve of Epiphany. If December 26, the day after Christmas, is the first day, then Twelfth Night falls on January 6, the evening of Epiphany itself. [17]
