• Although Clark is supposed to be sledding down a hill on a normal snow saucer, the one he ends up riding on not only has fins on the bottom, but it also has a wire attached to the front of it. - Jim M

• In the very beginning aerial shot of the Griswold's house, the RV is already parked in the driveway. Cousin Eddie and crew don't arrive until way into the movie. - Jess

• Clark Griswald encounters a blue pickup at the start of the movie. There are three passengers at the start of the scene. The rest of the scene shows only two. - pat

• In the part where Clark is hanging the Christmas lights, as he is falling back on the ladder the trees in the background are in full bloom, yet it is the dead of winter. - Jay Wolfe

• If the dates shown on the Advent calendar are correct, then the full moon shown throughout the movie last well over a week. - 94McBill

• After the lights on the house don't work, Clark goes up to check them all after everyone else goes to sleep. When he is shown all alone outside late at night, the background (including the full moon) is obviously a painting. - Muzakfanatic

• Near the end of the movie, take a close look at the reindeer and Santa as they go flying through the air. You can clearly see the matte behind it that they used to film against a blue screen. - canesfan

• The scene where Ellen opens the door to call Clark to dinner after he has fallen in nearby bushes, she clearly slips as she comes outside. (VHS) - simpl2remember
  • It's winter, it's slippy - ads reality to the scene.

Commented Goofs

• In the scene where they are eating dinner Clark tells the kids that he heard on the radio an airline pilot spotted Santa's sled on his way in to New York but Santa rides a sleigh.
  • Comment: Well maybe sled and sleigh are the same thing to them. Ever think about that? I guess you didn't since you made up such a bad mistake. - brandi17ftx
