National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation Advent Calendar 2026

Twenty-five thousand imported Italian twinkle lights blanket the snow-covered roofline on the cover of the National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation Advent Calendar 2026, where Clark Griswold (Chevy Chase) balances on a wooden ladder in a Santa hat while the wood-paneled Griswold Family Truckster sits in the driveway beneath a massive uprooted pine tree. Stamped with a holly-wreath “24 COLLECTIBLES” badge, the vertical rigid countdown box opens one perforated compartment each December morning to reveal twenty-four freestanding 3D miniatures mounted on snow-dusted cobblestone pedestal bases.

From Clark and Cousin Eddie to the Marty Moose Mug and Tree Squirrel

Across the twenty-four numbered doors, the lineup pairs the full Griswold household and their uninvited holiday relatives with the vehicles, house models, and animals from the 1989 comedy:

• Four Clark Griswold Poses & Core Family: Depicts Clark tangled in multi-color Christmas string lights, climbing a wooden ladder, holding a wrapped gift, and placing the star atop the tree, accompanied by wife Ellen carrying a tray, daughter Audrey in a red winter coat holding a present (plus a second Audrey figure holding a giant red bauble), and son Rusty both holding a red sled and riding a red saucer sled.
• Cousin Eddie, Aunt Bethany & Holiday Relatives: Includes two separate snow-base figures of Cousin Eddie in his white bathrobe and black trapper hat—one raising a beer can and one holding the green RV sewer hose—alongside Aunt Bethany cradling her white cat wrapped in a red ribbon bow, Uncle Lewis smoking his cigar, grandmother Nora Griswold, and a relative in a plaid robe holding a mug.
• Vehicles, Houses, Marty Moose Mug & Pets: Completes the 24-piece village with the woodgrain Griswold station wagon hauling the oversized pine tree on its roof, two illuminated Griswold family house miniatures, a whipped-cream-topped Marty Moose eggnog mug, Cousin Eddie’s dog Snots wearing a red bow, a Santa-hatted squirrel chewing on tree lights, a light-wrapped lawn reindeer, stacked presents, and a holly wreath.

Because every character, vehicle, and prop is permanently mounted on a level snow-covered pedestal base, families can arrange each daily reveal into an expanding tabletop Griswold neighborhood across a mantel, windowsill, or bookshelf without needing ornament hooks.
