They sound a little off to me. We usually use subjunctive with 'wish' (for unlikely things: 'I wish it would rain'. etc) and indicative with 'hope':
1a. I hope your life will always be as sweet as chocolates.
1b. I hope your life will always be filled with sweet things like lollipops.
As an idiom, we offer wishes for nouns/events: I wish you a Merry Christmas,
