Pete’s family loves National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation. The whole family watches it every year. And actually, a couple years ago, when it was the 30th anniversary of the movie, Pete and I went to see it in the theater.
Every couple years, I come up with something National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation to give Pete’s dad for Christmas.
But Pete’s dad isn’t the only fan of this classic film. The movie has so many iconic characters and memorable lines. I hear people quote it all the time.
So I finally sat down and actually put together a list of 10+ Gifts For National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation Fans. It’s filled with great gift ideas for your friends (or yourself, if you’re the one who plays the movie every year).

10+ Gifts For National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation Fans

Christmas Vacation Clark Funko POP!
Funko POP! characters are always adorable. But this Christmas Vacation Clark Funko POP! is so good. Clark has on the Santa outfit, which is a classic scene from the movie, and he’s holding his Wally World Moose egg nog glass.
If you’ve seen the movie, both of those things stand out and make this POP! amazing. And if you haven’t seen the movie, well, it probably doesn’t make sense (and maybe none of the other gifts on this list will either).
National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation Chocolate Bars
If you want something small to add to your fan’s Christmas stocking, these National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation Chocolate Bars are it.
You can purchase them in a pack of three with three different designs, which is super cute.
National Lampoon’s Christmas Ornaments
I have an ornament tradition where I buy us a new ornament every year. I also make sure to buy a new one for my godson every year.
If you love the idea, buy your National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation fan a movie-themed ornament. There are a ton out there, although I really do love Cousin Eddie’s RV.
Cousin Eddie Funko POP!
You can’t get the Clark Funko POP! and then forget about Cousin Eddie. Clark and Cousin Eddie are the two real main characters of the movie. Cousin Eddie crashes the Christmas Clark worked so hard for, so this Cousin Eddie Funko POP! should absolutely crash the shelf that the Clark Funko POP! is displayed on.
Really, it would be such a fun addition to your friend’s collection.
Christmas Vacation “Grace” T-Shirt
One of the funniest parts of the movie is when they ask Aunt Bethany, who is about 800 years old, to say grace at Christmas dinner. “Grace? She passed away thirty years ago.”
Her husband, Uncle Lewis, gets frustrated and tells her they mean they want her to say the blessing. To which Aunt Bethany starts, “I pledge allegiance … “
It’s honestly one of the movie’s most quoted lines, so this Christmas Vacation “Grace” T-Shirt is perfect for any fan.
Christmas Vacation Christmas Houses
I love setting up our Christmas houses every year. I have three of my grandma’s houses and a few of her accessories. And every year since I started setting her Christmas houses up, I’ve been getting a new one for myself and then other accessories for my Christmas village.
If you know someone who loves Christmas houses, or just wants to start a Christmas village, this is perfect. You can pick up the Griswold holiday house, with all its twinkle lights, the Griswold garage, packed with holiday decorations, and Cousin Eddie’s RV.
There are character figures too, so your friend can recreate so many scenes from the movie.
Save The Neck For Me Clark! Towel
Even if you haven’t seen National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation, from this post you can sort of gather that Cousin Eddie is an overstepping pain in the neck. So you shouldn’t be surprised that one of the movie’s most quotable lines comes from Cousin Eddie’s Christmas dinner request. “Save the neck for me Clark!” he says.
And shortly after, the turkey explodes into dust.
So, this Save The Neck For Me Clark! Towel is absolutely perfect. The National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation fan on your shopping list can display it all November for Thanksgiving and then all December for Christmas.
Griswold Car Salt And Pepper Shaker
The beginning of the movie starts with the Griswold family driving to choose the perfect Christmas tree. They search and search through endless evergreen trees until the family is practically frozen, and then Clark finds the perfect tree and chops it down despite his family’s confusion about if it’s too big.
It’s too big.
But Clark claims that it’s the Griswold’s Christmas tree this year, straps the extra large tree to the roof, and that moment is captured in this Griswold Car Salt And Pepper Shaker. The two pieces sit together when it’s on your kitchen table as a super cute display piece. But then, you fill one with salt and the other with pepper and they’re functional.
National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation Moose Mug & Hot Chocolate Mix Set
There’s a scene in National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation where Clark and Cousin Eddie are drinking egg nog out of moose mugs. It’s so iconic.
So the Christmas Vacation fan on your shopping list will absolutely love this National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation Moose Mug & Hot Chocolate Mix Set. You get four hot chocolate mixes, plus the mug.
Christmas Vacation Egg Nog Mug
Speaking of that egg nog scene, there’s a long quote that Clark says that’s kind of iconic. If you’ve seen the movie, I bet you started reciting it just now.
If you haven’t seen the movie, well, that part is written directly onto the Christmas Vacation Egg Nog Mug. Your gift recipient will love it, especially because there’s an image of the moose mug on the side. Trust me.
Clark Griswold Speech Art Print
Spoiler alert. Although, this movie has been out over 30 years. If you haven’t seen it yet, that’s on you.
Clark Griswold is expecting to get a Christmas bonus at work, enough money so he can put in a pool. Instead, he gets a subscription to the Jelly Of The Month Club. And, after the week he’s had, he loses it. He goes on an epic rant, which is one of two iconic word-loaded speeches Chevy Chase delivers in the movie. The other one has a curse in it, so I didn’t want to choose it for any gift ideas. This Clark Griswold Speech Art Print is curse-free (although it is a little foul mouthed).
It only comes as a digital download, so you’ll need to buy a frame and mat for it as well. It would be a great addition to your fan’s holiday decor.
Nicollette Scorsese Autographed “Mele Kalikimaka” Photo
If you’ve seen the movie, you know why this Nicollette Scorsese Autographed “Mele Kalikimaka” Photo is the perfect gag gift for a man. If you’ve never seen the movie, it makes less sense.
But, to try and explain it. Clark sees this woman behind a counter in a store and stutters as he tries to explain what Christmas gift he needs help buying for his wife Ellen Griswold. Later, he imagines Nicollette poolside at the pool he is planning to build with his bonus. “Mele Kalikimaka” plays.
So, for big fans of the holiday film, this is an amazing gift idea.
Jelly Of The Month Club Mug
If you’ve been reading this post start to finish, you know that one of the movie’s key plot points is that Clark gets enrolled in the Jelly Of The Month Club as his holiday bonus.
So I’m in love with this Jelly Of The Month Club Mug from Zak Designs. It’s shaped like a jelly jar, holds 10 oz. of fluid, and will be the pride of your National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation fan’s kitchen.
National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation Shirts
A couple Christmases ago, Pete’s dad ordered everyone in the family National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation t-shirts. The one above is actually my print, and I wore it when Pete and I went to see the movie in theaters last year. Pete wore his too (but it has a curse word on it, so I can’t link it).
My shirt isn’t available anymore, but if you click below you can see a bunch of options with different images, quotes, options for long sleeve shirts, and more.
