Watch in Cinema

Get your lights strung up and turkey in the oven because it's Christmas time and the in-laws are on their way! The comic misadventures of the beleaguered Griswold family continue in the third and most successful entry in the Vacation film series.

This time America's most dedicated dad, Clark Griswold (Chevy Chase), is determined to stay at home to create "the most fun-filled old fashioned family Christmas ever"—but life has a particular way of throwing wet logs on the Griswold family fire.

Make merry with Chase, Beverly D'Angelo, Randy Quaid and an ensemble of comedy favorites (look for Julia Louis-Dreyfus in a supporting role) in this film written by John Hughes (Home Alone).

Will Clark and his family survive the holidays, or go down in a blaze of glory, fuelled by overheated string lights and turkey fat? Come down to the Cinema to catch one of the most unhinged, chaotic, hilarious and true-to-life depictions of the stressful season.
