Chevy Chase, who played Christmas icon Clark Griswold in "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation," will be headlining the 2023 Christmas Con come December. The 79-year-old comedian will be a part of the convention's panel of Christmas movie actors, and he'll fit in well with our favorite Hallmark Channel stars, who are sure to join him. In fact, before Chase signed on for the gig, People asked fan-favorite Hallmark actor Tyler Hynes who his dream Christmas movie co-star would be. "I mean, if we're talking about holiday stars, I would just think of Chevy Chase from the 'Lampoon' movies. 'Christmas Vacation' is one of those legendary movies I grew up on. Doing these movies now and having him be in it would be a full-circle moment," he answered. It's sure to be a "full-circle moment" for plenty of stars who will join the panel alongside Chase.
The official news that Chase is Christmas Con-bound broke shortly after the second summer edition of Christmas Con, which ran from June 9-11. Classic holiday movie royalty and Hallmark Channel stars alike were in attendance, like Taylor Cole, Cameron Mathison, Benjamin Ayres, and Melissa Joan Hart, among many others. And, since this was the summer version, we can expect December's Christmas Con to have an even more stacked guest list.
