Every December in the small town of Ponchatoula, Louisiana a wooden wishing box is placed in the park as a Christmas tradition. After a night out together, Maddie encourages her sister Faith to put a wish in the box - a wish to experience true love for the first time. Faith and Maddie are surprised the next day when she meets the very handsome and eligible Andrew. As Christmas nears, Faith begins to wonder if Andrew is really perfect for her, or if the wish is leading her to her best friend, Wyatt.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The real Ponchatoula Wishing Box tradition was invented for this film — locals now actually maintain one in the park.
This quietly subverts the 'city girl learns small town values' Hallmark template by keeping Faith rooted in her community.
