National Lampoons Vacation Hap Happiest Christmas Sweater Ugly Christmas Sweater

This vibrant sweater features Clark Griswold in peak meltdown mode, smiling in a red robe and holding a chainsaw, ready to “deck the halls” in his own unforgettable way. Bright pink accents frame a rich navy base, while festive icons—snowflakes, Christmas lights, cars, trees, and yes, that infamous squirrel—capture the madness of Christmas Vacation.

The scene is pure holiday chaos, just as fans remember. Above the message “Hap Happiest Christmas!” sits Clark with his holiday lights gone wild, a classic symbol of his over-the-top Christmas spirit. Surrounding him are nods to memorable moments from the movie: fried cats, toppled trees, and the station wagon overloaded with decorations. Each element plays a part in reminding us that no one throws themselves into the holidays quite like Clark Griswold.

For fans of the film, this sweater is a badge of honor—a wearable tribute to the most unhinged, yet relatable, Christmas hero. It turns dysfunction into tradition, reminding us that holiday joy sometimes comes wrapped in burnt turkeys and blackout light displays. This sweater doesn’t just say “Merry Christmas.” It screams it—Griswold style.
