Felix Funicello is een katholieke vijfde-klasser in 1964, wiens roem zijn neef Annette Funicello is, de beroemde Mouseketeer en tienerfilmkoningin. Maar grammatica en rekenen staan deze feestdagen op een laag pitje door de plotselinge komst van vervangende lerares Madame Frechette en de pittige Russische studente Zhenya Kabakova. Terwijl Felix de betekenis leert van tongzoenen, culturele misverstanden en tableaux vivants, rennen Wishin' en Hopin' richting een schandalige kerst!
Nee, helaas is Wishin' and Hopin' nog niet beschikbaar op Netflix in Nederland.
