Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!! For my last Christmas post of the year, I decided to do another remake article. This time, I chose one of my all time favorite holiday films, Christmas Vacation! This one was definitely one of the hardest remake articles I’ve done. There were SO many fantastic contenders and having to narrow them down to one choice was almost impossible. As always, I made my casting choices based on age, looks, and how I picture their overall performances. I hope you enjoy and have a wonderful holiday season!! (REMINDER: this is just hypothetical fun! I respect everyone mentioned, and this series isn’t meant to tear anyone down or be disrespectful!!!)
