Gef’s Festive Film Advent Calendar: 9 Dec

9 December

Today’s festive film choice is courtesy of our fearless leader.

National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation

*Available to watch on Prime Video.

An absolute festive belter and arguably one of the finest works from legendary director John Hughes, the mastermind behind similar classics Home Alone, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, The Great Outdoors and Uncle Buck.

With oodles of nostalgic appeal to likeminded fans from the 80s and early 90s, this Christmas corker is packed to the brim with big screen slapstick and sheer seasonal daftness that guarantee to keep you chuckling away over the hols. If you already know, you’ll agree it never fails; for newbies – we highly recommend grabbing the popcorn and giving this yuletide classic a whirl.
