Clark Griswold attempts to create a picture-perfect, old-fashioned Christmas for his family.
The third in the series of National Lampoon's 'Vacations ' films, this sequel concerns the Griswold family's holiday get-together. This time they're trying to have a picture book, old-fashioned Christmastime -- even though all the in-laws are dropping by, including Clark's redneck cousin, Eddie. Looks like it's going to be a real holly-jolly holiday -- if they can make it through.

"...[Chase] does what he does best: flat-out slapstick and subversive tear-downs of his own smooth image..."
