Mickey and Minnie Wish Upon a Christmas may be the Disney equivalent of a Hallmark movie, but that is exactly what the doctor ordered. Spending time with familiar friends in a familiar set-up is perfect to bring a smile to your face. Whether you are enjoying with your family, or just reliving your own fond memories, I fully recommend checking the special out to get your holidays off on the right foot."[23] Sydni Ellis of People included Mickey and Minnie Wish Upon a Christma in their "Best Christmas Movies to Stream on Disney+ in 2022" list.[24] Stephanie Snyde of Common Sense Media gave Mickey and Minnie Wish Upon a Christmas a grade of three out of five stars, complimented the depiction of positives messages and role models, citing the importance of friends and family demonstrated across the characters, while praising the songs and the humor of the special.[25]
