The Griswold Family House

  In 1989's National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, Clark Griswold is inspired to make the greatest Christmas ever after getting locked in his attic. He decides to watch old family movies while he waits for his family to return and becomes nostalgic about Christmases past.  

But does Clark's childhood home look familiar? It should.


The film was not shot in a winter wonderland, but in the confines of the Warner Brothers backlot in sunny Southern California. The house was used in hundreds of other productions, but most notably in Bewitched.
