THE BEST CHRISTMAS MOVIES EVER – WHEN CALLS THE HEART: THE CHRISTMAS WISHING TREE (2017)

 

Hope Valley begins a new holiday tradition, the Wishing Tree, where the Townspeople write their wishes on ornaments and hang them on the tree, hoping someone will take their wish and help make it come true.

Elizabeth Thatcher (Erin Krakow), reflecting her longing, places her Wish on the tree for Jack Thornton (Daniel Lissing), who has been away on patrol, to come home, for the holiday season and her wish comes true, but he has to leave again.

Newly adopted son of Abigail Stanton (Lori Loughlin), Cody Stanton (Carter Ryan) wishes to spend Christmas with his new mom.

Addressing the townspeople as they gathered around the Wishing tree, Abigail explained the tradition, and that if your wish disappears from the tree, it meant someone was working to make it come true.

Rosemary (Pascale Hutton) has to deal with her husband Lee Coulter (Kavan Smith) with too much time on his hands, so she ensures he is heavily involved with the towns Christmas preparations.

Hope Valley is aptly named, as the town is full of hope and community with small acts of kindness and belief, and the magic of Christmas shows how miracles can bring people together.

Christmas is also a time for forgiveness and second chances, optimised by the redemption of Henry Gowen (Martin Cummins) and Abigail’s charitable deeds.
