Where to stream “National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation” this holiday season

You don't want to be late for the Griswold family Christmas.

It's better than a Christmas bonus. It's better than a one-year membership to the Jelly of the Month Club. It's your annual viewing of National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation!

It's almost the end of the year, and that means it's time for that annual holiday movie binge. That kind of marathon requires rotating in classics like Elf and It's a Wonderful Life, maybe even scheduling a viewing of Bad Santa or Tokyo Godfathers to mix things up. But it always requires a screening of 1989's Christmas Vacation. If you're trying to ensure that no one walks out on this fun, old-fashioned family Christmas movie, you'll want to know where you can track it down in the wilds of streaming platforms and TV networks.

Here's where you can stream Christmas Vacation this holiday season, a movie that can even entertain an unexpected (or unwanted) guest like Cousin Eddie (Randy Quaid).
