All/What ... are/is

1. All I would like for Christmas are a doll and a dress.

2. What I would like for Christmas is a doll and a dress.

Which is the correct sentence? I think for the first sentence, 'are' is the correct verb, while 'is' is correct for the second sentence.

Thanks.

@Ceili,
I carefully avoided the question. I almost think the British might say ARE, but you never know.

This one would say "is" in both cases.
