Holiday Wishes is kind of Freaky Friday meets Christmas. Two fifteen-year-old girls (one a spoiled rich kid, the other a bounced around foster kid) make wishes at the exact same time at Christmas dance and find themselves switched. The rich girl, who wished for a pony, is now suddenly in foster home hell terrorized by her "siblings" and taking care of a pony 24/7, while the foster kid is suddenly thrust into a 'loving' home only to find that her parents are too wrapped up in their own lives to even notice her. The two girls quickly realize they want to return to their regular selves and somehow enlist the help of Danni, who is the party planner for the rich girl's mom. I'm still unsure why Danni is expected to solve the problem but she is and she tries and eventually manages to do it, with everyone learning a lesson along the way. It's pretty predictable but in a good way and it actually made me cry briefly and although it isn't that hard to make me cry, I appreciate sentimentality that can bring me to tears. That didn't happen in any of the other Christmas movies I watched this year! So yay, I loved it!
