* In the ChristmasSpecial ''Christopher The Christmas Tree'', when Christopher first meets Hooty,, he expresses his belief in wishes, partially to explain why he's still optimistic about becoming a Christmas tree, despite not being picked year after year.  "But I believe in wishes.  I '''know''' they come true, as sure as the stars above."  He also encourages Hooty to make a wish, which Hooty does, while a chorus sings about wishing on a star in the background (no, not [[{{Pinocchio}} that song]]).  By the end of the special, both Christopher and Hooty have gotten their wishes.
** The album on which the animated special is based is even more explicit about wishing on a star, as Christopher tells Hooty, "You can have anything in the whole world you want, if you wish on the Wishing Star.  But you gotta believe in it, or it won't come true."
** In both the album and the animated special, there's a little boy who wishes on the star on his Christmas tree, but since his wish is to be President of the United States, we don't get to see if his wish comes true or not.
