Get Ready for Nostalgia Overload: Chevy Chase’s 2025 Christmas Vacation Tour Is Here
Quinn Parker here, your favorite over-caffeinated aunt who’s seen *everything* from slapstick SNL brawls to Community drama, and let me just say—Chevy Chase is back in the spotlight and ready to take us on a holiday-themed trip down memory lane. And no, I haven’t had too much coffee today… okay, maybe I have.
So here’s the tea: Chevy Chase, the original “Live from New York, it’s Saturday night!” guy himself, is hitting the road again in 2025 for his *National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation Tour*. That’s right, folks—eight shows across the country where he’ll screen the iconic 1989 film, engage in a moderated conversation, and wrap things up with a Q&A session that fans are already calling “magical.”
Now, if you’re thinking this sounds like the perfect way to kick off the holiday season, you’re not alone. One fan recently gushed online about how watching the movie with a live audience made all the difference—clapping at Cousin Eddie’s entrance, shouting out famous lines, and even getting a standing ovation when Chevy and his wife took the stage. And yes, he did a little dance. Because of course he did.
But let’s talk numbers—because we all know tickets don’t come cheap these days. At the time of publication, the lowest price found for any one show was $71 (including fees) via Vivid Seats. Other screenings and Q&As start anywhere from $73 to $206 depending on location and demand. Prices are subject to change, so if you’re serious about seeing this silver-screen legend live, better snag those tickets before they vanish faster than Clark Griswold’s holiday cheer.
The tour kicks off November 20 and wraps up December 18 in Newark, New Jersey—closest thing to NYC since he won’t be returning to the actual birthplace of *SNL*. Each event features a screening of *Christmas Vacation*, followed by a moderated chat and audience Q&A, except for one special October show dedicated entirely to *Fletch*—because apparently, Chevy still loves that role more than we realized.
Vivid Seats, the verified secondary market platform offering these tickets, promises a 100% buyer guarantee, so your transaction will be safe and your tickets delivered on time. Still unsure? You can read more about their legitimacy here.
Of course, we can’t talk about Chevy Chase without acknowledging the drama that’s followed him throughout his career. From physical altercations backstage during *SNL*’s early days to being banned from hosting the show due to offensive remarks, and later, allegations of racism on the set of *Community*, Chase has never been far from controversy. But hey, isn’t that what makes celebrity gossip so delicious?
If you’re not near one of the tour stops, don’t worry—you’ve still got options. Steve Martin and Martin Short are also touring together, and Macaulay Culkin is doing *Home Alone* screenings. And if you want to brush up on your *Vacation* franchise knowledge, all five films are available to stream now.
Bottom line? This tour is more than just nostalgia—it’s a chance to see an entertainment icon up close, reliving some of his most beloved work while giving fans a rare, intimate experience. Whether you’re there for the laughs, the memories, or just to say you saw Chevy Chase live, one thing’s for sure: tickets won’t last long.
Whew! That was a LOT to process!
