Annabelle's Wish is a 1997 American animated Christmas film that revolves around a young calf who aspires to learn to fly and become one of Santa Claus' reindeer. It is narrated by American country singer Randy Travis and stars veteran voice actress Kath Soucie. It originally aired on FOX.

The film takes place in a fictional rural farming community named Twobridge somewhere in Tennessee, where a young calf named Annabelle is born on Christmas Eve. Upon meeting Santa Claus, she becomes fascinated with reindeer and their ability to fly, and wishes to fly herself.

At the same time, having been granted the temporary ability to speak, she befriends the farmer's grandson, Billy, who suffered from muteness due to smoke inhalation caused by a terrible fire at the animals' barn one night. Throughout the course of the year, they learn the true value of friendship and learn that with faith and a willingness to overcome great odds, anybody can achieve their dreams. Once Annabelle loses her ability to talk, the ability is permanently given to Billy, who later finds out.

At the end of the movie, when Billy is now a grown man and in love with and married to his childhood friend, Emily, Santa Claus grants Annabelle's wish for flying by turning her into one of his reindeer, returning her ability to speak in the process.
