The holidays are here, and what better way is there to celebrate the most magical time of the year than watching holiday-themed movies with your loved ones.
While some holiday movie-lovers might prefer watching wholesome and sentimental films, such as the timeless classic named the best Christmas movie of all time, others may want their movies loaded with hijinks and hilarity for a much-needed laugh during what can often be a stressful holiday season.
According to a list from Screen Rant, the "funniest Christmas movie" you can tune into during the holidays is National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. This 1989 film starring Chevy Chase is actually a sequel of the original National Lampoon's Vacation from 1983, but the added layer of the holidays brings a new comedic flair that made it an instate classic.
Here's what the site had to say about this popular Christmas comedy:
"Christmas Vacation is widely heralded as one of the funniest holiday movies of all time. Chevy Chase is typically spectacular in the lead role of Clark Griswold, reprising his role from the original Vacation movie. However, this is a case where the sequel surpasses the original, and the movie is full of great moments that make it one of the best dysfunctional Christmas movies ever made. The movie perfectly captures the chaotic yet warm atmosphere of the Christmas season, and it's the ultimate Christmas comedy that is just as funny today as it was decades ago."
Other hilarious movies that made the list of "funniest Christmas movies" include Elf, Scrooged, Home Alone, A Christmas Story, and Bad Santa to name a few. Read up on more gut-busting, laugh-out-loud holiday movies at screenrant.com.
