If you love holiday movies, National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation is a staple feature, and who could forget the brightly lit Griswold House?
An iconic home in Stony Plain that pays homage to the holiday classic is returning this season, and you’ll be able to see it all lit up soon, too.
It’s become a must-see for those in the region and decorations are already being set up, with the owner telling Daily Hive that the Christmas lights are set to be turned on around November 25.
This will be the fifth year Jon Harringa has decorated his home at 64 Briarwood Point in Stony Plain as the Griswold House. He grabbed international attention when he debuted the flashy scene back in 2020.

In previous years, Harringa has gone all out with string lights covering the entire home, and the lights even strung up above the driveway, too.
The RV was also decorated, and Santa and his reindeer were on top, with Cousin Eddie in a robe (and nothing more). We all know what scene from the movie that is referencing!
He even got the Griswold family’s 1989 Ford Taurus Wagon parked in front of the home too. The dedication is REAL!

The house was lit up until the New Year last year, and here’s hoping that will be the case this year, too.
Stony Plain is just 40 minutes west of Edmonton’s downtown core, so head out and take a look at the Griswold House when it’s ready. We can guarantee you and your family will have the hap-hap-happiest Christmas.
