You must give it to Clark Griswold, he did everything to make the perfect Christmas for his family, despite having the worst luck of all time.

It may not be the best "Vacation," but it is one of the best comedy sequels. And a beloved 80s gem that highlights Chevy Chase and writer John Hughes as two of the most invaluable comedy icons of the decade.

Chevy Chase is immediately likable as the hapless Griswold patriarch. There’s some fun sight gags and a couple touching nostalgic moments. The thing is that most unfortunate is that the movie is very predictable now. It’s actually pretty standard for the Christmas comedy storyline now.

I agree that Christmas Vacation is an excellent film but nothing can replace A Christmas Story on my top Christmas film list. But, I will say, it's a very close decision. I think it's a generation thing - for the longest time I bet It's a Wonderful Life was just about everyone's favorite movie.I'm also partial the the original Grinch and Rudolph animated films - even A Charlie Brown Christmas is great for nostalgia.
