Plug in the lights, grab the eggnog, and brace yourself for a full Griswold-level meltdown.

To end our holiday movie run 3 Guys and a Flick decks the halls with a deep dive into National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation. We break down the cast, iconic scenes, and behind-the-scenes trivia that turned Clark Griswold’s perfect family Christmas into one of the most quoted holiday movies of all time.

From the legendary light display to the unforgettable Cousin Eddie payoff, we debate Chevy Chase’s endlessly optimistic (and endlessly unhinged) Clark, share our favorite moments, and wrestle with the big question: does this movie still hold up as a holiday staple — or is it more of a seasonal endurance test?

Expect personal takes, final ratings, and plenty of laughs as we go full Griswold in our latest festive review.
