Christmas Vacation

Based on short-story Christmas '59 by Hughes, this third installment in the VACATION series follows the Griswold family as they host a "fun old-fashioned family Christmas" only for laid back and mild mannered father Chase to be pushed beyond his limit of patience. Corny, yes, especially upon first viewing; but the gags remain fresh after several years, making this film a staple during Christmas. Watch closely and you will spot egg nog being sipped out of Wally World mugs! Final film of Mae Questel. The only VACATION movie to not feature the Lindsey Buckingham song "Holiday Road". The Griswold's adventure continues with VEGAS VACATION, while Cousin Eddie (Quaid) and Catherine (Flynn) have their made-for-TV spin-off Christmas VACATION 2: COUNIN EDDIE'S ISLAND ADVENTURE.
