Narrative:

Filed and cleared for the abc arrival to ZZZ. The published crossing restr is xxxxx at 14000 ft. Having flown this arrival many times; this altitude was loaded into the FMS. NOTAMS had changed the point and altitude to yyyyy at 12000 ft. Out of habit I loaded the published fix and altitude and not the notamed one. The first officer only had approximately 100 hours in type and did not catch my mistake. Approach cleared us to yyyyy at 12000 ft. I put 12000 ft in the altitude control window and started a VNAV descent. At that same time; one of the flight attendants called and asked if I could check on a gate that her air marshal husband was going to be coming into. I called the company on the radio and got the information. A few mins later; the controller asked if we were going to make the crossing restr. That is when I discovered I didn't put in the correction to the FMS and the VNAV was flying the old point and altitude. I immediately extended the speed brakes and gave the controller the best possible descent. Needless to say; I did not make the crossing restr. I should have been more aware since I was flying with a low time first officer; and should not have taken the time to help out the flight attendant since I was the PF. No conflicts were created as far as I know.
