National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation (1989 PG-13)
December 17 - 7pm
National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation is a hilarious holiday comedy that follows Clark Griswold as he attempts to create the perfect traditional Christmas for his wife, Ellen, and their two children. Determined to make the holiday special, Clark goes all out with extravagant decorations, a towering Christmas tree, and plans for a festive family gathering. However, things quickly begin to unravel when his houseguests arrive, including his unpredictable cousin Eddie and his family, turning Clark’s dream Christmas into a series of outrageous mishaps.
As one disaster after another threatens to ruin the holiday, Clark struggles to keep his patience and maintain his Christmas cheer. From tangled Christmas lights and unexpected visitors to a missing holiday bonus, the Griswold family’s celebration becomes a chaotic comedy of errors. Filled with unforgettable characters, classic one-liners, and plenty of holiday humor, National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation has become a Christmas movie staple that reminds audiences that even when the holidays don’t go as planned, family and laughter make the season memorable.
