This Christmas, Olivia has one wish: that her single mum would find someone that she can call 'Dad'. She and her friends discover that the answer to all their wishes may be inside a mysterious abandoned house. Legend has it that if you make a wish, throw a stone and break a window, your wish will come true. Then, within the house they discover Elsie Waybright (Della Reese), the Christmas Angel.
Elsie tries to teach Olivia and her friends that some requests must be left to God. As Christmas day approaches, and Olivia's wish isn't going the way she hoped, will Elsie be able to teach her trust in God?
