Chevy Chase Recreates Famous Christmas Vacation Scene
National Lampoon s Christmas Vacation is on your must-watch list.
I mean, it is a classic! Chevy Chase as Clark W. Griswold, the overzealous dad to his wife and kids and his obsession with Christmas lights. The scene where Clark just finished putting up 25,000 Christmas lights on his house only to try and plug them up to have them not work is a classic.
Get ready, Lampoon fans, because Chevy Chase and Beverly D Angelo are back reprising their rolls as Clark and Ellen Griswold and recreating that famous scene for Ford Motor Company.
A new commercial has been released where Chevy Chase is standing in his front yard ready to plug in the lights as he calls the family out to the yard for the unveiling.
Christmas is technically over, but not at Campo Verde, a Mexican restaurant that’s an Arlington institution
People will wait hours to take photos with the Christmas lights, trees and garland, owner James Williams said.

For over 30 years, Campo Verde has been serving holiday cheer alongside fine dining in Arlington during the Christmas season, and this year is no different.

Thanks to Steve and Gina Harbaugh of Mickelton thousands of kids will have the hap-hap-happiest Christmas since Bing Crosby tap-danced with.well, you get the idea.
For a third year the Gloucester County family set up an elaborate tribute to the classic movie National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation. It’s one of those houses so over the top and so unique it attracts traffic. Lots of traffic. Police come and direct traffic type of traffic. No easy feat since the house sits on Legends Court, a short street that ends in a cul-de-sac.
Chase thanked Ford Motor for the role as well as an undisclosed amount of money he was paid for the ad: It s great to be back for another Christmas with my on-screen family and its rotating assortment of kids – and I have Ford and Mustang Mach-E to thank for paying me to do it, he said in a statement. I suppose you re expecting some sort of riff on electric cars, but I can say with 85% certainty that this thing probably won t cause any blackouts in your neighborhood when you plug it in.
Ford published the ad on YouTube ahead of its scheduled broadcast debut Tuesday during an encore broadcast of Saturday Night Live s Christmas special at 9 p.m. on NBC.
