Emma lives with her adopted daughter, Lily. As Christmas approaches, they visit a department store to buy gifts for charity. In the children's section, there is an opportunity to submit wishes to Santa, and the best wish wins a prize for a chosen charity. Lily writes a wish for Emma to find true love by Christmas.
Zach works at the department store, and the competition was his idea. When he reads Lily’s wish, he and his colleague think it’s so good that it deserves to win. Now, Emma is swept into a whirlwind as the department store, under great publicity, arranges dates for her— all organised by Zach.
The film delivers a good romantic story that is at times quite amusing (in a more subtle way). It also has a proper ending, meaning it doesn’t just stop at the first kiss. The fact that it didn’t get a five might mainly be due to Emma not reacting more strongly to her daughter’s wish – but perhaps I should have overlooked that?
