Every neighbourhood has one family that takes Christmas more seriously than everyone on the block. In Alberta about a half out outside of Edmonton, that family is the Harringa’s who have made a name for themselves for having a near-identical light display to the Griswold’s in the iconic holiday movie National Lampoons Christmas Vacation.
With thousands upon thousands of lights, an RV, a life-sized statue of Cousin Eddy – who you’ll remember as the movie’s wildcard character – some reindeer, and even a scaled-down version of the family vehicle, a 1989 Ford Taurus Wagon, this display is incredibly elaborate.
