Let’s do a quick run-down of the plot of this Christmas classic. The Griswolds have already taken a cross-country road trip in the original Vacation film and journeyed through Europe in the second installment, so for the 1989 entry, it was time to stay at home for the holidays to enjoy friends and family.

But, as you know, nothing ever goes as planned in the Griswold universe. The in-laws arrive, the bickering begins…and then Cousin Eddie and his rambunctious family join the party as well.

Take a look at the original trailer for this 1989 classic starring Chevy Chase, Beverly D’Angelo, and of course, Randy Quaid as Cousin Eddie.
