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 Bonjour les vacances (1983) and Bonjour les vacances 2 (1985) and followed by Vegas Vacation (1997).

Including Christmas Vacation, there are five Griswold movies: Bonjour les vacances (1983), Bonjour les vacances 2 (1985), Vegas Vacation (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. Le Sapin a les boules 2: Cousin Eddie (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the third adventure of family Griswold was censored in all media in the UK in terms of one single word which has been replaced by a "nicer" one: "fucking" was replaced by "dancing".
