National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation is a holiday classic, and one of the few Christmas movies that warrants marathon viewings (sorry boutcha, A Christmas Story). The Pittsburgh Penguins just took the 1989 film to the next level. 

The hockey team not only parodied the movie for their “holiday e-card,” they actually inserted team members into scenes. Randy Quaid’s busted RV makes an appearance, as does Chevy Chase’s epic lighting ceremony. Yep, the killer squirrel is in there too.
