‘National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation’ isn’t just a film; it’s a tradition, and this year, Chevy Chase is bringing the festive spirit straight to fans across the US with his highly anticipated 2025 Christmas Vacation Tour. This one-of-a-kind event is set to ignite holiday joy, nostalgia, and plenty of laughs as Chase, now 81, shares the magic behind the timeless movie that has warmed hearts every December since 1989.
Step Inside the Griswold Celebration
From November through December, Chevy Chase will host a series of eight special events sprinkled across iconic venues, including Peabody Auditorium in Daytona Beach, Walt Disney Theater in Orlando, and the New Jersey Performing Arts Center in Newark. If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to watch the Griswold family’s holiday hijinks with a crowd of devoted fans, you’re in for a treat. Each night starts with a screening of ‘Christmas Vacation’, but the real fun begins after the final credits roll. Chase, often joined by his wife Jayni, takes the stage for a no-holds-barred Q&A and candid conversation. Audiences are promised a peek behind the curtain, with stories about infamous scenes, co-star mishaps, and inside jokes that make this film an evergreen favorite.
