If youre looking for a classic comedy film for the festive season, look no further than National Lampoons Christmas Vacation, starring Chevy Chase and Beverly DAngelo. It may be more than 30 years old, but the dysfunctional Griswold family may be relatable for some even now. Heres how and where to watch National Lampoons Christmas Vacation online from anywhere.

No matter what Clark (Chevy Chase) does, his bad luck follows. From Christmas lights not working to causing an awful amount of damage to the house, to his wifes cousin Eddie showing up unexpectedly, Clarks hopes of a traditional family Christmas dont quite go to plan.

We found Christmas Vacation on Max in the U.S. and other streaming services outside the U.S. If you want to watch it outside of your country, youll need to use a top VPN like ExpressVPN to bypass geoblocks. There are other movies in the franchise too, and this guide will show you where you can watch them all including Christmas Vacation 2 (2003) and Vacation (2015).

If you have cable TV, you can watch Christmas Vacation on the TBS or TNT channel on select days. We dont have access to the TV schedule for December right now, but we can tell you that the film is available to watch on the following dates and times on TNT (note that times are in ET).

If you dont have cable, you can use a live TV streaming service that has the TNT channel, such as Sling TV, Hulu + Live TV or YouTube TV. If youre outside the U.S., youll need the help of a virtual private network (VPN) to get access.

You can watch National Lampoons Christmas Vacation on Max in the U.S. Max (formerly known as HBO Max) is only available in the U.S. If youre traveling outside of the country, youll need to use a VPN to unblock it. Keep in mind that Max requires a U.S. payment method to sign up. If you dont have one, you can use a prepaid card like StatesCard.

National Lampoons Christmas Vacation is available to watch on Max in the U.S.

Weve provided a table to show you where else you can stream Christmas Vacation online.

You can also buy or rent Christmas Vacation on services like Apple TV, Google Play, YouTube and Vudu.

No, we didnt find National Lampoons Christmas Vacation in any Netflix library. The only movie in the franchise we found on Netflix is Vacation (2015), which is available on Netflix in Canada, Austria and Germany.

Thats not to say Christmas Vacation wont ever be available on Netflix, though, since the platforms content is always changing. Thats why its a good idea to manually check for the content you want every now and then, and not only on your local library.

Netflixs content varies by region, but you can easily switch to another countrys library by using a VPN. Just connect to a server in a different country and log in to your Netflix account like you normally do. Your connection will fool Netflix into thinking youre located in that country and show you the content available there.

This section provides steps to show you how to watch National Lampoons Christmas Vacation on Amazon Prime Video for free using its free trial. The platform is available in most countries, but the free trial duration varies (30 days in the U.S. vs seven days in Norway), so its a good idea to sign up first and then use a VPN to switch to a different country library that includes Christmas Vacation.

The steps are pretty much the same for unblocking the film on any other service, including Netflix if its ever available there.

Go to ExpressVPNs website and sign up for one of its plans. All plans are covered by a 30-day money-back guarantee.

Download and install the VPN app onto the device you want to stream on. ExpressVPN is available for most devices. Once installed, open the app and log into your account.

Connect to a server in a country where Christmas Vacation is available on Prime, such as Norway, Denmark, Finland or Austria. You can search through ExpressVPNs full server list by clicking the dots next to the country name.

Go to the Amazon Prime Video website and sign in to your account (or sign up for the free trial if you havent already).

Search for National Lampoons Christmas Vacation and start watching it on Amazon Prime Video.

Whatever you intend to stream online, its crucial to opt for a VPN that has fast speeds, plenty of servers and the ability to unblock your streaming platform of choice. If youre in a restricted country, security and obfuscated servers are also important. Here are our top recommendations.

ExpressVPN has plenty of servers and no problem unblocking streaming services.

Pros:

ExpressVPN is capable of unblocking any streaming platform. So whether youll be streaming Christmas Vacation on Prime, tuning into it on TNT with Sling TV or maybe youre traveling outside of the U.S. and want to watch it with your Max account, ExpressVPN has you covered.

It has servers in more than 100 countries, so you can watch it pretty much anywhere its available. Plus, its servers automatically include obfuscation and is one of the most secure VPNs, which means you can access the movie or other content from a restricted country without fear.

ExpressVPN is also easy to use and available on most devices, it just doesnt have a very appealing price. You can bring the cost down by signing up for a year, though, and theres a money-back guarantee in case you decide you dont like it. Read our ExpressVPN review for more details.

NordVPN has the fastest speeds and an affordable price.

Just keep in mind that smaller screens can make it difficult to use.

Standard

Christmas Vacation is the third film in the Vacation series by National Lampoon magazine, following the Griswold family once again. As the Holiday season draws in, Clark wants nothing more than a traditional, family Christmas. He drags his wife, Ellen, and two children to pick out a perfect Christmas tree and sets about decorating their house with a tremendous number of lights and decorations.

It doesnt take long for things to go awry, with the tree being too big, the Christmas lights failing to work, Ellens cousin Eddie arriving unannounced in his run-down RV and Clark not receiving his Christmas bonus as expected. Instead of a calm and cozy Christmas, its complete chaos, with freak accidents, explosions, the Santa Claus decoration catching fire and even a visit from the S.W.A.T. team.

It has just the right amount of slapstick humor, wit, satire and relatable circumstances with zany relatives. Heres the cast list for Christmas Holiday.

Though National Lampoons Christmas Vacation (1989) is one of the most recognizable movies of the franchise, its actually the third installment. There are five original movies, a 2010 short and a 2015 reboot. Only two of them are Christmas editions and Chevy Chase stars in all but Christmas Vacation 2: Cousin Eddies Island Adventure.

Weve provided a table to show you where you can watch all of them. Note that European Vacation (1985) is available for free with ads on the Polish website VOD.PL. Its in Polish, but you can set the language to English in the settings. Its also geoblocked, but a Polish VPN server will help you access it. The 2010 short Hotel Hell Vacation is 14 minutes long and can be found on YouTube completely free.

We hope our guide has helped you catch some family humor for the festive season. The Griswold family is sure to bring some laughter, and you can watch it entirely free by using an Amazon Prime Video free trial and a VPNs money-back guarantee ExpressVPN is the best choice.
