If I were to wake up tomorrow with my head sewn to the carpet, it wouldn’t shock me as much as discovering that an entire Christmas Vacation village is available on Amazon this holiday season. This delightful collection captures all the memorable moments from the film in ceramic form, allowing fans to display their love for the movie on a shelf when it’s not playing (once again) on their TV.
The National Lampoon’s Vacation series has introduced us to unforgettable characters like Cousin Eddie, Todd and Margot, Aunts Bethany and Edna, and of course, the Griswold family. However, National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation seems to resonate more due to its focus on the chaotic nature of the holidays and the ups and downs of family time. Thanks to Amazon and Department 56, you can now own a piece of this beloved movie with their National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation Village Collection.
Once you explore the full range of the collection, it becomes difficult to choose a favorite piece, as each one reminds you of countless hilarious scenes. No matter which pieces you select, you’ll certainly be the highlight of any (virtual) holiday gathering. The items are priced variably, making them a worthwhile investment for fans. Given all the joy the film has provided over the years, it’s certainly a purchase worth considering. Be sure to secure your National Lampoon’s Christmas Village in time for Christmas Day!
