Christmastime means granting Christmas wishes, right? At least that is what Hallmark thinks.

Every year, Lucy (Amanda Schull) collects and grants Christmas wishes from her community. This year, Max (Averie Peters) wishes to have a Christmas like she did before her mother passed away. As Lucy tries to fulfill this wish, Max changes her wish to helping her father, Lucas (Travis Van Winkle), find love again.

The main plotline of Project Christmas Wish is granting Christmas wishes. Unlike The Angel Tree, we don’t actually see Lucy granting any wishes. She talks about it. She talks about it a LOT. But we don’t actually see any wish granting going on. It is a little disappointing.

Another annoying part is Lucas’ parenting style. In the beginning of the movie, he is the worst helicopter parent. He chides his parents for bringing donuts without asking him first. Whenever he goes into public with Max, he always tells her to stay within his sight. While I understand being careful, in the world of Hallmark movies, this is overbearing.

As is the norm for this season, I can’t recommend watching Project Christmas Wish. It is the worst kind of boring. The kind where nothing actually happens. If you want to watch a movie where they grant Christmas wishes, The Angel Tree does it much better. And they are both on the Hallmark Movies & Mysteries channel.
