## Executive Summary & Cultural Positioning

48 Christmas Wishes is a 2017 family television movie produced by Gaumont that follows two junior elves, Mindy and Cam, as they embark on their first journey away from the North Pole. After accidentally destroying a bag of letters from a small town, the duo must infiltrate the human world to recover the wishes before Christmas Eve to prevent the holiday from being extinguished forever.
