It’s a Christmas tradition of my family to watch this every year.

[@myajanell2504]

yesss of mine too😍 anybody within any generation who never saw or doesn't seem interested its a crying shame.

[@briya7077]

Same here!! And it genuinely NEVER gets old. We know some of the lines by heart, especially the “Hallelujah! Holy shit!” rant, yet, we still crack tf up like it’s the first time watching ❤

[@mikehunt534]

My family watches it Thanksgiving night while we put our tree up. It's not the start of the holidays without this movie.

[@Karla_Marie91]

Same we start watching it after Thanksgiving and every day up until Christmas 😆 it's a classic

[@rockie_xoxo]

Same, every Christmas Eve. Such good memories 🥰

[@brandiecopeland2937]

This is my favorite Christmas movie lmfao “Why is the floor wet, Todd?” “I don’t KNOW, Margo”

[@Nate6981]

"John Hughes saw this and thought let me make a whole movie called Home Alone..." Dude! John Hughes wrote this movie too! As well as the original National Lampoon's Vacation.

[@darreylhenderson702]

Aunt Bethany Is played by the great Mae Questel. She was the voice of Betty Boop and Olive Oyl in 'Popeye' for the classic cartoons

[@gatchywatchyentertainmentb2090]

DAMN she lived to be 89! That’s older than Mel Blanc was when he died!

[@myajanell2504]

yea just knew now crazy😳 and she looks different then she looked back then.

[@JugheadJones825]

Oh wow. I've seen this movie so many times. I never knew that. So cool.

[@Whitney_Miller]

Aunt Bethany was the voice of Betty Boop. Such a queen. ♥

[@myajanell2504]

really crazy😳 and seeing how she looked back then and seeing her now she looks different .

[@frankietorres8596]

@@myajanell2504 she was also the voice of olive oil in Popeye

[@Taramw32]

If I was Clark, I would need his boss’s bonus proclamation signed and sealed before they celebrated. His boss seems like the kind of character to “forget” otherwise.

[@myajanell2504]

yea

[@ericlewis217]

"We needed a coffin" LOL always love that line. Beverly D'Angelo in that dress also.

[@AshDub86]

"He's always been a good dad...besides putting his children in danger constantly" 😂 This is my favorite Christmas movie, and is in my top 10 favorite films of any genre. We watch it on Thanksgiving (and for the entire month of December, lol) every year. Such a treat to get this video today. Happy Thanksgiving!

[@FiercedeityBrad]

I love aunt Bethany 💗 "is Rusty in the Navy?" "Don't throw me down Clark!" "Grace? She died 30 years ago" 😂

[@backpackmatt]

26:30 "I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America..." 🐧🍎💙🍏

[@brandiecopeland2937]

30:46 when Clarke goes off with the name calling, your faces are hilarious lol

[@gatchywatchyentertainmentb2090]

Griswold’s boss is played by THE OMINOUS FLYING DUTCHMAN! Other wise known as Bill Murray’s older brother Brian Doyle Murray.

[@mattmc5069]

I remember my grandpa laughed so hard at clark flying down the hill with the flames I never saw him laugh so hard he died in 1996 this was one of his favorites

[@CheyLouis]

We're thankful you're here with us! Thanks for clicking on this video 🥰

[@Taramw32]

[@AshDub86]

Please do the original "National Lampoons Vacation" where they go to Wally World 😄

[@wifeunderthesea]

FIRST TIME WATCH?!!!!!! HOW?????? oh, this is gonna be good. 😂😂😂😂 oh and happy gobble gobble to everyone who celebrates! 🦃

[@Whitney_Miller]

When Cousin Eddie is wearing the white shirt with the black dickie underneath then nonchalantly knocks down the decoration always has me in stitches. So subtle but so funny 😂

[@_-.RAVEN.-_]

Literally my favorite Christmas movie. I never NOT laugh, no matter how many times I've seen it! I think my dad always saw himself and his dad in Clark lol Happy Holidays you two! I can't believe you guys have NEVER seen this lol You'll have to do Vegas Vacation next lol

[@myajanell2504]

right😍

[@prettymuchbangtan]

absolute holiday classic and still funny every year! happy thanksgiving yall, i had chemo yesterday so i feel horrible but your videos always ALWAYS put a smile on my face so thank you ♥

[@nolasalazar]

Growing up this was one of my favorite Christmas movies, still is. It’s a classic.

[@elizabethstrong6057]

It's funny you called the boss Scrooge bc that actor is one of the brothers of Bill Murray, who starred in Scrooged. Which I recommend watching if you haven't yet!

[@rumham7466]

I have a Christmas sweater that says “Merry Christmas, Shitter’s Full”, with an RV on it. And my dog has a matching one. 😅

[@davidvandyken5762]

I've read that during the scene where Chevy Chase was destroying the plastic reindeer he actually did break his pinky finger. He just acted the rest of the scene through it. His over the top behavior was authentic.

[@johnshoemakerpbc]

This movie has some of the most quotable lines in pop culture. Hilarious.

[@I_ll_beer_back]

This is the ultimate Christmas comedy. Probably the funniest Christmas movie of all time. One laugh follows the next. Don't be shocked, folks, laugh your *ss off.

[@elizabethlynch6544]

Uncle Louie's actor played the Dean of the military prepatory school in Major Payne and also the dad of Nathan Lane's character in Mouse Hunt.

[@Taramw32]

The part that made me laugh the most was when he was stuck in the attic and kept stepping on the planks like he was in a Looney Tunes episode.

[@myajanell2504]

right🤣

[@John_Locke_108]

Great Thanksgiving choice 😂

[@thomasbaker2067]

Christmas Vacation is awesome.

[@mercuriallady]

Y'all's comment that John Hughes saw this and came up with Home Alone made me lol bc John Hughes wrote this movie too 😂

[@anthony_castro710]

Such a classic 💚❤️🎄

[@ScientificallyStupid]

Thankful you dropped this on Turkey Day, and thankful for a teeny glimpse of your adorable son at the end!

[@KikiH5566]

When Chevy was spouting off all the insults, his costars held up cue cards so he could get it right. 😂 Y’all need to watch the Vacation series. The second one is ok-ish. Vegas vacation was hilarious. You need to know the relationship with Clark and Eddie.

[@ghostfarts4335]

My family always watched this movie and Jingle all the way right after on Thanksgiving every year 💯

[@ToylandChairman666]

I know they don't go on an actual vacation in this one, but it's my favorite of the VACATION movies.

[@79Bobola]

Christmas is my favorite holiday! 🎄this movie is my childhood 🥰

[@birthdaybatter815]

THE BLESS-ING!

[@myajanell2504]

and ofc she wouldnt even hear that 🤣despite that being the norm

[@chuckleezodiac24]

your favorite, Beverly D'Angelo, had an unforgettable scene in The Sentinel (1977), the legendary schlockfest horror classic!

[@gatchywatchyentertainmentb2090]

One of my mom’s favorite holiday movies.

[@myajanell2504]

yesss😍

[@scientistservant]

Uncle Lewis was played by the amazing William Hickey, who was Dr. Finkelstein in The Nightmare Before Christmas 💖 "The BLESSSS-ING!"

[@carlosrvra]

I think “Aunt Bethany”’s actress was the voice of the original Betty Boop cartoon. Also, FLETCH is a great (non-horror) Chevy Chase movie. And MEMOIRS OF AN INVISIBLE MAN is a decent sci-fi comedy thriller movie he did

[@shania991]

The part where Clark is going in on his boss is my favorite part comedy gold.

[@Lizzie_3000]

Yessss! Petty Pumpkins you two beautiful Santa's little elves gave me just I wanted for Christmas! How did you know! I love you both ❤ 🎅 🎅 ❤

[@jstomps]

Chevy can chase meee 😅😜

[@JUNI-r1r]

I just watched this with my mom for the first time in over 10 years, i totally forgot about the cat scene so i was completely GAGGED 😭😭

[@evarene07]

Now we need “Christmas with The Kranks”

[@fcannistraro2878]

I saw this in the theaters with family as a kid and I still watch it every time it’s on! Makes me laugh everytime.

[@jeffl9167]

I have to say, once again, I love you two. Please keep making reactions and above all else, continue to be you. Thanks!

[@EchanteDante]

HOW HAVE YOU NEVER SEEN THIS!! OH MY GOD THIS IS BY FAR THE BEST CHRISTMAS MOVIE! It’s classic! So many iconic hilarious moments that absolutely still hold up. The national Anthem and saying Grace scene gets me every time. This movie, Home Alone 1 & 2, Jingle All The Way, The Santa Claus, and Elf are my go to Christmas classic must watch movies for the season.

[@bluemcclure]

Yes. Definitely😃!

[@nasserhafes3021]

You should do Planes, Trains and Automobiles

[@gatchywatchyentertainmentb2090]

It be great if they watched that on Christmas (or Released it on Christmas anyway) seeing how this is a Christmas movie and they have it on Thanksgiving.

[@karleighrock593]

It’s a tradition in my family to watch this movie on Christmas Eve while eating takeout 🥡. So happy you guys are watching this!! Happy holidays

[@jefflove5336]

Really enjoyed your reaction.

[@PettyPumpkins]

Thank you!! 🥰🥰

[@crimsonsaya3514]

Me and my dad liked to watch this movie, this will be my first Christmas without my dad, he passed this July. I miss him so much.

[@BTSonBroadway]

I worked a screening of the film followed by a talkback with Chevy last year and here are my favorite fun facts that I learned: 1) The tree cutting scene was filmed in Breckenridge, Colorado-- after it was filmed, they were supposed to fly back to California to film the rest of the movie on-lot, but got snowed in, which brings us to 2) the attic scene-- it was actually filmed at the Breckenridge bed and breakfast the cast and crew was staying at, and were stuck in. (I'd bet the owners were paid very well for the repairs that were needed, lol) 3) Chevy broke his hand punching the Santa decoration 4) All of the cat's noises were made by Chevy himself 5) Chevy, at least, was actually inside the car underneath the logging truck, but the car was attached to the underside of the truck; it wasn't actually being driven under it and 6) for Clark's rant about his boss, the actors all had cue cards taped to them to help Chevy nail the scene -- at the end of the talkback, Chevy read/acted out that speech for the audience! Hope you guys are having a wonderful holiday season, I love your videos so much!

[@pamelawagemakers4866]

My family watches this movie every single Christmas. It’s tradition!! We can recite it word for word, and we still love it.

Thank you for having content up today.

[@myajanell2504]

omg thank you😍 a true Christmas classic❤🎄☃ can watch this over and over. A generation to more generations all time movie ✨my favorite part "hey everybody hey everybody" and ofc the one and only pledge, aunt Bethany she is truly uncanny and her wrapping anything and throwing it into as a gift can't with her. Love all the characters wouldn't be Christmas without the National Lampoon's Christmas vacation movie. Hope you guys watch Deck the halls during the seasons, the Santa clause, Jack Frost 90s, Charlie Brown Christmas and so on.

Didn’t expect to enjoy this as much as I did!!! 🤗🎄✨ so funny!!!

[@tumenarves]

And just like that you two officially kicked off the holidays by watching this! I saw it in the theater w/ my family as a child, and I remember everyone laughing through the whole thing! Now as a parent, we watch it every Christmas to laugh and remind ourselves to stop and enjoy Christmas without expectations! ❤ You two are the best and so are your videos - happy holidays!

Absolute classic! Me and my family play this movie every Christmas! 🎅🏻🎄🪜🎁❄

[@chrystalhall4518]

I just watched yesterday. Never gets old.

[@Mummabear1o]

Our family tradition is to watch this. But then we always watch National Lampoons Vegas Vacation on NYE

[@88wildcat]

So many of the best lines are subtle and are easy to miss. I can't swim Clark. I know that Eddie. Eddie can I get you a drink, something to eat, drop you off in the middle of a desert and leave you for dead? Don't forget the rubber sheets and the gerbils. Then there are the subtle sight gags. Ellen going Muhammed Ali rope-a-dope to dodge Eddie's attempt at kissing her. Ellen flicking the turkey off of her fork before pretending to eat it. The delivery guy pulling the wreath off of the door. Eddit throwing the dog food on top of and breaking the light bulbs.

[@ashleyh7073]

You definitely should watch the others!! The only ones worth watching other than this one are the original National Lampoon Vacation, The European vacation one, and the Vegas Vacation one. I personally prefer the Christmas, European, and Vegas ones to the original. They're all fun tho!! :D

[@williamjones6031]

1. When Clark delivers the present to his boss his boss, Brian-Doyle Murry ' (Bill's brother) calls him greaseball. 🤣 Then still doesn't get it right until the end. 2. GOOF: The lights outside the attic window don't match the pattern with the rest of the house. 3. My favorite part is when Ellen pulls the chain on the trap door. 🤣🤣 4. Mae Questel played Aunt Bethany. She was the original Betty Boop and Olive Oyl, This was her last gig.😇 5. In the big rant scene the other actors had Chevy's lines written on placards so he wouldn't get his lines out of order. 6. Living next door to them must be kind of like living next door to the Bundys. 7. Fun fact; Chase actually hurt his hand karate chopping the reindeer. 8. Clark's crazy, Ellen/Beverley D'Angelo is way hotter than the saleswoman. 9. He's going to need that bonus to pay for the damaged house. 10. This IS my Christmas movie every year 11. Fun fact: This is the only Vacation where Audrey is older than Rusty. 12. My picks in order: Christmas, Vacation, European and finally Last Wages. PS: If you want more of Beverley D'Angelo you must check out "Hair" and "Every which way but loose".

[@champagnebulge1]

Yea the neighbors are out of place. They should have some condo in downtown Chicago.

Oh yess, please react to all the vacation movies.

They’re all pretty good. Except maybe the newest one. But European Vacation is one of my personal faves. The original one and Vegas Vacation are also good.

That turkey is beyong dry. It's incinerated. 😂 I live all 4 of the og Vacation movies. There is an order: NL Vacation European Vacation Christmas Vacation ⬅️ Vegas Vacation

[@Whitney_Miller]

For Queen Juliette, please watch SOME GIRL. It's such a hidden gem with a stacked cast. Here is synopsis... Inexperienced in love and living in Los Angeles, aspiring actress Claire (Marissa Ribisi) longs to find that special someone. Unfortunately, she couldn't pick a more undeserving guy when she starts a relationship with womanizer Chad (Jeremy Sisto). Although her friend April (Juliette Lewis) warns her about him, it's not as if April doesn't have problems of her own -- namely a chronic inability to stay faithful to her longtime boyfriend, Neal (Michael Rapaport).

[@hopeklemann1]
