Characters of Nativity and its sequels.
Recurring Characters
St. Bernadette's students
Voiced by: Various
The students of St. Bernadette's Catholic School.
- Cheerful Child: For the most part.
- Deadpan Snarker: Despite being a collective example of The Determinator, they are just as good at realising they're not as good as they think they are and/or when the competition is simply better. In the first film, they get this off Mr. Maddens more than anyone else.
- The Determinator: With Mr. Poppy's encouragement, they seek to achieve what they set out to do in each movie by any means necessary.
- Hidden Depths: It's amazing what they are shown to be truly capable of in each movie whether they are talented or not.
- High Hopes, Zero Talent: Not that they or Mr. Poppy ever let that stop them and they usually end up inspiring the people they're trying to help.
Oakmoor students
Voiced by: Various
The students of Oakmoor School and main rivals of St. Bernadette's.
- Ascended Extra:
- Eleanor after she is left behind in the first sequel.
- Barnaby in Nativity Rocks!.
- Demoted to Extra: By the time of the 3rd Film, their appearance is limited to briefly encountering Mr. Shepherd and Lauren at the local Shopping Centre then beating St. Bernadette's in Bradley Finch's Flash Mob Competition, only to miss their flight to New York due to St. Bernadette's stealing their boarding passes.
- Training from Hell: They're clearly more talented and have more of an aptitude for what they're doing than their St. Bernadette's counterparts but that's largely due to the harsh and demanding teaching methods of Gordon Shakespeare.
- Wins by Doing Absolutely Nothing: After Roderick Peterson has his St. Cuthbert's lot perform the song they were intending to sing in the first sequel, they ask the St. Bernadette's students to perform in their place, this wins them the A Song for Christmas competition.
Desmond Poppy
Voiced by: Marc Wootton
An unqualified teaching assistant at St. Bernadette's and the oldest nephew of the Headmistress Pat Bevan.
- Blatant Lies: He's full of these and actively encourages the students to do likewise.
- Character Development:
- Usually for the purpose of supporting the St. Bernadette's students and whoever is teaching them.
- In the first sequel, he willingly stands up to and defies his Aunt when she refuses to allow St. Bernadette's to enter A Song for a Christmas and even tells Donald Peterson he's turning into his father.
- Particularly so in the second sequel when he has to support Lauren Shepherd to the point of becoming a Parental Substitute to her due to her father's memory-loss.
- Everyone Has Standards: He seems to have a better idea of the St. Bernadette's students' lack of talent in the first sequel.
- The Fool: Mr. Maddens sums it up when he goes to Mrs Bevan with his initial assessment of him.
- Friend to All Children: Even it is largely as a result of being a Manchild.
- Hidden Depths: For a Manchild, he is certainly adept at organising Nativity Plays.
- Idiot Hero: He always emerges as this.
- Manchild: A trait he shares with his brother Jerry.
- The Millstone: To his Aunt Pat in the first sequel
- Parental Substitute: To Lauren in the second sequel.

- Blatant Lies: He and his students go to St. Bernadette's to spy on them for the purpose of finding out what they're doing in their nativity play.
- Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: He isn't even mentioned in Nativity Rocks! but his replacement is no less of a pompous Jerkass.
- Demoted to Extra: By the time of the 2nd sequel.
- The Determinator: Purely for the sake of beating St. Bernadette's...and everybody else.
- Entitled Bastard: He expects preferential treatment and resorts to childish tantrums when he doesn't get it.
- Everyone Has Standards: He willingly leaves a student of his (called Eleanor) behind in the middle of nowhere and doesn't bother looking for her but he draws the line when he realises his own (former) hero willingly abducted a baby and locked a bunch of children, including Eleanor, inside a snow globe.
- Friendly Enemy: He's become this to Mr. Maddens.
- This continues in the first sequel when he asks St. Bernadette's to take Oakmoor's place in A Song for Christmas.
- Hero-Worshipper: He idolizes Roderick Peterson in the first sequel, this becomes a Broken Pedestal once he finds out what his hero is really like...
- Hypocrite: He's so patronising to everyone but won't stand for similar treatment from others, in the first sequel, he grows so tired of being patronised by Roderick Peterson and the St. Cuthbert's choir that he willingly asks St. Bernadette's to perform in Oakmoor's place just for the sake of winning A Song for Christmas.
- Inferiority Superiority Complex: He is convinced he is better than everybody else and forces this mentality upon his students but simply cannot stand the idea of anyone outperforming him, least of all, St. Bernadette's.
- It's All About Me: Mr. Maddens actually describes in the prologue that he loves himself more than anything else.
- JerkAss: His general attitude towards his students and everybody else.

Patricia Bevan
Voiced by: Pam Ferris
The Headmistress of St. Bernadette's in the first two movies and the maternal aunt of Desmond and Jerry Poppy.
- Berserk Button: Her nephew becomes this in the first sequel as his and the students' antics make it all the more harder for her to hire a permanent replacement for Mr. Maddens.
- Put on a Bus: In the second sequel, she has moved to Australia and is replaced by Mrs Keen and by the following sequel, Desmond has done likewise to look for her just when her younger nephew Jerry has come to Coventry looking for the both of them.

Introduced in the first sequel judging the Song for Christmas Competition, returns in Nativity Rocks!.
- Creator's Pet: In-Universe, it's obvious from the moment Roderick Peterson and the St. Cuthbert's choir arrive for the A Song for Christmas competition that she thinks it's a Foregone Conclusion they're going to win. She even gives Roderick suggestions on how to improve his act while they're watching the other entries together.
- Meaningful Name: Guess what part she plays in Nativity Rocks!...
- My God, What Have I Done?: She hires Emmanuel Cavendish to organise Coventry's entry in the Rock Opera Competition and quickly regrets when she arrives in Coventry to find the whole city ready to kick him out and he proceeds to insult her as well.

- Idiot Ball: Granted he hadn't really got to know Mr. Poppy (but well enough to know he was a Manchild) at the time but he really should have found somewhere private for him to tell his lie about Hollywood to Mr. Shakespeare, certainly somewhere where it would have been harder for Mr. Poppy to eavesdrop.

Jerry Poppy
Voiced by: Simon Lipkin
The younger brother and nephew of Desmond Poppy and Mrs Bevan.
- Disguised in Drag: After Emmanuel Cavendish excludes him and Doru from the Rock Opera auditions, he tries to worm his way back in by disguising himself as Barnaby's nanny.

- He pushes this for everyone in Coventry and even his secretary when he openly insults the City in general.
- Big Brother Bully: Played with as he and Jerry Poppy were Not Blood Siblings but when they were kids, Jerry's mother was the Cavendish family's charlady and he bullied Jerry no end.

- He claims he's trying to save the Rock Opera ... by taking parts away from children!
