Christmas Vacation Griswold Holiday House
$164.99

Yes, there's really an entire collection of National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation figurines and structures to be had over on Amazon, and as you might expect, they're selling fast. The centerpiece is a hand-painted "Griswold Holiday House" complete with a snowy roof, a wreath-covered front door, and twinkling Christmas lights that flash just as, er, frenetically as you'd expect them to. It'd make for a hilarious addition to any Christmas mantel.
Of course, judging from the number of exclamation points on each Amazon review, fans have already figured out all of this—and they're excited, to say the least.
The house looks beautiful all on its own, but as with any ceramic village, the Christmas Vacation scene isn't complete without a few accessories. Luckily, there are plenty to choose from: a Clark Griswold figurine that'll have your friends in stitches, a three-inch tall Cousin Eddie (bathrobe and all), and a "Freezing Our Baguettes Off" vignette that showcases the entire family gathering to watch Clark turn on the lights, to name just a few. There's also an artful depiction of the pool fantasy, a ceramic camper, and the now-legendary Christmas Vacation car.
Looking for even more movie magic holiday fun? Well, you're in luck, because Department 56 actually carries a total of 10 licensed villages, including Harry Potter, A Christmas Story, The Grinch, and so many other favorites.
Whether you mix and match these pieces with your existing village collections or let them have the spotlight all to themselves, we guarantee your Christmas party guests will get a good laugh out of them—that is, if they aren't too busy trying to buy the figurines off you.
