Holiday Wishes Review

Summary:

Britney (Britt McKillip, Dead Like Me), a rich, spoiled child, and Rachel (Katie Keating, Caprica), an orphan, switch bodies after a visiting Santa Claus at the mall. Each girl wakes up as the other - Britney is in the orphanage, and Rachel is at Britney's family's mansion. With the magical intervention of a professional party planner, Britney learns to live without her wealth, and Rachel teaches Britney's unloving family the true meaning of Christmas.

The 411:

I was a big Buffy The Vampire Slayer fan so seeing Amber Benson "Tara" in another role was exciting. Amber Benson plays Danni Hartford a party planner who spends her off time looking for a sister she hardly remembers having except for a photo of her and another little girl.

Britney is the daughter of Danni's clients. A spoiled rich girl who wants for nothing but a horse of her very own. Rachel is an orphan shuttled from house to house who only wants a family to love her.

After being mistreated by her foster siblings on a horse farm, Rachel makes a wish the same time Britney and Danni do while looking at a star on a Christmas tree. The girls bump into each other and Britney and Rachel switch bodies.

It's Freaky Friday turned into a holiday movie with an extra. The script is weak and the acting just OK but this is a Christmas Movie and in the end who doesn't love to watch movies about Christmas at Christmas time?

Originally a Lifetime Movie that aired in 2006
