Food additive designer and avid family man Clark Griswold (Chevy Chase) is determined to give his family—wife Ellen (Beverly D'Angelo), son Rusty (Johnny Galecki), and daughter Audrey (Juliette Lewis)—an old-fashioned family Christmas by cutting their own tree, decorating their house with over 25,000 lights, hosting a big family dinner for his and Ellen's parents, and using his Christmas bonus to buy a new swimming pool for the family. What he doesn't count on is Cousin Eddie (Randy Quaid), Uncle Lewis (William Hickey), and senile Aunt Bethany (Mae Questel) showing up.

Christmas Vacation is the third movie in the Griswold series, preceded by Die schrillen Vier auf Achse (1983) and Hilfe, die Amis kommen!

(1985), Die schrillen Vier in Las Vegas (1997), and the video short Hotel Hell Vacation (2010). All of them feature Chevy Chase as Clark "Sparky" Griswold and Beverly D'Angelo as his wife Ellen. Schöne Bescherung 2 - Eddie geht baden (2003) features Cousin Eddie and Audrey Griswold (Dana Barron).

In order to obtain a UK PG rating, the third adventure of family Griswold was censored in all media in the UK in terms of one single word which has been replaced by a "nicer" one: "fucking" was replaced by "dancing".
