Wishin' and Hopin'

Overview

Felix Funicello, a fifth-grader at a Catholic school in 1964, enjoys a unique connection to fame through his cousin, Annette Funicello, a beloved Mouseketeer. However, his holiday season takes an unexpected turn with the introduction of the eccentric substitute teacher, Madame Frechette, and the spirited Russian student, Zhenya Kabakova. As Felix navigates the complexities of French kissing, cultural clashes, and dramatic performances, he finds himself swept up in a wildly entertaining Christmas adventure filled with humor and heart.
