Two of Santa's elves get the idea to grant a person 3 wishes before Christmas in an effort to increase belief in Santa. By chance, the choice falls on Erin, who really struggles with Christmas, especially after her boyfriend broke up with her last Christmas. To avoid being too obvious, Erin is tricked into believing that the wishes are promoted by a radio channel. Erin is overwhelmed by the Christmas stress, so for her third wish, she wishes that Christmas didn't exist. The next day, she wakes up and discovers that no one knows about Christmas. In a panic, she tries to take back her wish and eventually gets help from Sam in the fight to reintroduce Christmas.
The movie certainly sounds corny and could easily have fallen flat. But it's well-executed and somewhat funny and Rachel Leigh Cook as Erin also elevates it. It's worth watching.
