By Alice Nichols

Are you in the mood for some holiday cheer and looking to watch the classic Christmas movie, Christmas Vacation? You may be wondering if it’s available to stream on Netflix. Well, the answer is both yes and no.

Yes, but only in certain countries:
If you’re living in Canada, Christmas Vacation is available on Netflix! That’s great news for those residing in the Great White North who want to watch Clark Griswold and his family’s hilarious misadventures. So, if you’re Canadian, grab some popcorn and get ready for a good laugh.

No, not in the United States:
Unfortunately, if you’re living in the United States, Christmas Vacation isn’t currently available on Netflix. However, that doesn’t mean you can’t catch it elsewhere. The movie is available for rent or purchase on various digital platforms like Amazon Prime Video, Google Play Movies & TV, iTunes, Vudu and more.

Why isn’t Christmas Vacation available on Netflix US?

The reason why Christmas Vacation isn’t available on Netflix US may have to do with licensing agreements. Streaming services like Netflix have to pay a licensing fee to show movies or TV shows. The cost of licensing popular movies can be high and so not all movies are available for streaming at all times.

What’s Christmas Vacation about?

For those who haven’t seen this classic holiday film yet (seriously?! ), here’s a quick synopsis: Christmas Vacation follows Clark Griswold (played by Chevy Chase) as he tries to create the perfect family Christmas despite numerous obstacles along the way.

From malfunctioning lights to unexpected guests and more – everything seems to go wrong! But through it all, Clark persists with his infectious optimism making this movie a must-watch during the holiday season.

The Bottom Line

So there you have it – Christmas Vacation is available to stream on Netflix, but only if you’re in Canada. If you’re in the US, you’ll have to rent or purchase the movie on a different platform. Regardless of how you watch it, be prepared for a lot of laughs and holiday cheer.
