Starting November 6

Clark Griswold (Chevy Chase) is determined to a have a “good old-fashioned family Christmas’’ with all the decorative trimmings (“We checked every bulb, didn’t we?”). While Cousin Eddie (Randy Quaid) and a house full of wacky relatives don’t make it easy, Clark’s wife Ellen (Beverly D’Angelo) is, as always, a calming influence. (“I’m sorry, this is our family’s first kidnapping.”)

The comic misadventures of the beleaguered Griswold family continue in the third and most successful entry in the Vacation film series. This time America's most dedicated dad, Clark Griswold (Chevy Chase), is determined to stay at home to create "the most fun-filled old fashioned family Christmas ever" -- but life has a particular way of throwing wet logs on the Griswold family fire.
