This holiday season, the Paramount Theatre invites the community to celebrate in a way that’s fun, festive, and meaningful with Holiday Movies at the Paramount presented by David Maier and Matthew McGrane. A portion of the ticket proceeds will benefit Foundation2.

National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation:
As the holidays approach, Clark Griswold (Chevy Chase) wants to have a perfect family Christmas, so he pesters his wife, Ellen (Beverly D'Angelo), and children, as he tries to make sure everything is in line, including the tree and house decorations. However, things go awry quickly. His hick cousin, Eddie (Randy Quaid), and his family show up unplanned and start living in their camper on the Griswold property. Even worse, Clark's employers renege on the holiday bonus he needs.

Movie duration: 1 hr. 37 min.
Rated: PG13
