One suspects that actress Juliette Lewis leaves this one off her CV, as might director Jeremiah Chechik, who went on to make the infinitely more enjoyable Benny and Joon. Following on from its funnier predecessors, National Lampoon's Vacation and European Vacation, the plot again revolves around the Griswold family, led by Chevy Chase and Beverly D'Angelo. This time, having already destroyed an American theme park and most of Europe in the previous movies, the family stays at home, and, of course, is beset by a series of disasters during the Christmas holiday. Silly in the extreme, it is only saved by Randy Quaid's performance as an obnoxious relative.

Unsubtle comedy that always goes for the easy laugh.

What are you waiting for? This is a must for any fans of the Lampoons films or fans of Chevy Chase. This is one of the best of the vacation series. A comedy classic.

An extremely funny movie
This movie is one of Chevy Chase's best!! Here he is planning the ultimate family christmas, and of course it doesn't go as planned! The opening scene is just fabulous...where the family is out looking for the perfect christmas tree....
Also they encounter the struggle of putting up christmas lights outside, and of course the unexpected christmas guests.
The movie is REALLY funny,but it also gives you the warm fuzzy feelings of family being together at the holidays. Perfect for kids and grown-ups!! -
