National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation 2: Cousin Eddie's Island Adventure is an American made-for-TV comedy film. It premiered December 20, 2003 on NBC and stars Randy Quaid and Miriam Flynn reprising their roles as Cousin Eddie and Catherine, along with Dana Barron reprising her role as Audrey Griswold. It is the sequel to National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, although it is more of a spin-off than a direct chapter of the National Lampoon's Vacation film series, because Chevy Chase and Beverly D'Angelo do not appear. To avoid a lawsuit from the new nuclear company he is employed at, Cousin Eddie agrees to take his own family on a vacation to the South Pacific, but get shipwrecked along the way and wind up on a deserted tropical island.
