Juliette Lewis posted the image on Instagram to her personal account, which features Chevy Chase sitting on a chair, while Beverly D’Angelo, Randy Quaid, and Lewis all stand around him posing for the camera. It isn’t clear from the post when the photograph was taken.

She accompanied the image with a holiday message, calling the rest of the cast her family. She said, “Merry Christmas from the Griswolds! Love my movie family.” 

“National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation” marked the final time that Hughes worked on a “National Lampoon” project and tells the story of Chase’s character Clark Griswold as his attempts to have a normal family Christmas keep going awry. Chase, Quaid, and D’Angelo reprised their roles from previous movies, while Lewis replaced Dana Barron and Dana Hill in the role of the Griswold’s daughter Audrey.
