As Christmas approaches, fans of the iconic holiday movie “Christmas Vacation” are eagerly waiting to know whether a sequel is on the cards. Released in 1989, “Christmas Vacation” has become a cult classic with its hilarious portrayal of the Griswold family’s misadventures during the festive season.
There have been various rumors and speculation about a possible sequel, but so far, there hasn’t been any official confirmation from the filmmakers. However, that doesn’t mean that fans can’t hope and speculate.
Possible plotlines for Christmas Vacation 2:
- The Griswold family could be planning another family trip – this time for Christmas. We could see them navigating through all kinds of obstacles and challenges as they try to make their way to their destination.
- Another possibility is that we could see the Griswolds hosting Christmas at their own home, which would provide ample opportunity for chaos to ensue.
- Alternatively, we could see what happened to some of the characters from the original film. For example, we could find out where Cousin Eddie ended up, or what happened to Todd and Margo.
The cast for Christmas Vacation 2:
Of course, any potential sequel would have to include some of the original cast members. Chevy Chase would almost certainly reprise his role as Clark Griswold, while Beverly D’Angelo would likely return as Ellen Griswold. Randy Quaid has expressed interest in returning as Cousin Eddie, although it remains to be seen whether he will actually be involved in any potential sequel.
What do the filmmakers say?
So far, there hasn’t been any official word from the filmmakers about whether a sequel is in development. However, Chevy Chase has previously expressed interest in revisiting his role as Clark Griswold, saying in an interview with Collider, “I would love to do more Griswold stuff, and I’ve told them that I’m up for it.”
It’s worth noting that there have been several spin-offs and sequels to the original “National Lampoon’s Vacation” film, which “Christmas Vacation” is a part of. So, it’s not entirely out of the question that we could see a sequel at some point.
Conclusion
While there hasn’t been any official confirmation about a sequel to “Christmas Vacation,” there are certainly plenty of reasons to be hopeful. With Chevy Chase expressing interest in returning as Clark Griswold and plenty of possible plotlines to explore, it wouldn’t be surprising if we saw the Griswolds back on our screens for another festive adventure. Only time will tell whether a sequel is in the works, but until then, fans can continue to enjoy the original film’s timeless humor and holiday spirit.
