In the special, the Sesame Street gang is initially thrilled when a mysterious wish machine appears on their street. The machine's magical pickle grants wishes to anyone who uses it, and it's not long before the residents of Sesame Street start making their wishes.
However, the gang soon learns that there's a catch: the pickle will only grant one wish per customer. They also discover that their wishes aren't always what they expected them to be. For example, when Cookie Monster wishes for all the cookies in the world, he quickly realizes that he doesn't have anyone to share them with.
As the residents of Sesame Street continue to make their wishes, they learn valuable lessons about the importance of being careful what you wish for, and of being grateful for what you already have. Along the way, they sing catchy songs and engage in fun, educational activities that are typical of Sesame Street programming.
Ultimately, the gang comes together to figure out a way to undo their wishes and restore Sesame Street to its former state of peaceful, happy harmony. Along the way, they learn the true value of friendship, teamwork, and empathy.
