25 Days of Hallmark Movies: Day 18: "My Christmas Grandpa" Starring Bill Cobbs and Vivica A. Fox

Kids in these movies are annoyingly selfless when it comes to their Christmas wish. They always wish their parents would get along or that their quirky aunt would find someone special. Which is bullshit because real life kids would step over their grandmother for a new drone or Hatchimals. In this short film from Lifetime, a young girl turns her back on the entire toy industry–and all the people who depend on toy sales to feed their families–and wishes for something abstract. Can you even imagine? How selfish.


Plot summary: "The cashier at a small market is a grouchy man who never has a smile for anyone; but when a little girl asks for a Grandpa for Christmas and chooses him, he is completely transformed by the child’s love and compassion."
