Without a context, it's hard to tell. Technically, both are grammatically sound. But I think it would make the most sense as: Before that, we made our New Year's wishes.

Depends on what you actually want to say, the first one is about making wishes in new year and the second one is about wishing for the new year to come, they are two completely different sentences.

"We made our wishes for the new year before that . . . " because you're specifying what you did for the new year; "we wished for the new year before that . . . " is too general and awkward-sounding.
