It’s opening night at the Plaza Theatre, and the air is thick with popcorn butter, questionable fashion choices, and the collective sound of people realizing Cousin Eddie is about to live rent-free in their holiday memories forever. This lighted building captures the magic of 1989’s National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation premiere — the neon glows, the marquee shines, and somewhere inside, Clark Griswold is plotting the most over-the-top light display in cinematic history.
Lights up, sparks joy, and will have your whole village quoting, “We’re gonna have the hap-hap-happiest Christmas!” — whether they like it or not
