New Title for Christmas Movie premiering on ION!

Heads up! For all of you who thought the previous title 'A Vermont Christmas Vacation' was probably too close to the original movie title: 'National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation' from 1989 - you must have been right!

For whatever reasoning, the ION premiere Christmas movie has been renamed...

'A Christmas in Vermont'

I actually personally like this new title even better, as it gives the film - it's own unique identity!

Starring in the film are: David O'Donnel ('Christmas Under Wraps'), Abigail Hawk ('Blue Bloods'), Chevy Chase ("National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation"), Howard Hesseman ('Head of the Class' 'On the 2nd Day of Christmas'), Zack Ward ("A Christmas Story") and more!!!

*At this time, for those of you interested - I don't know what this movie will be rated, so please check that before viewing.

'A Christmas in Vermont' - an ION Christmas Movie!

Actor Chevy Chase stars in a NEW Christmas Movie, but No, this is not Clark Griswold's "Christmas Vacation", or a sequel. This movie was previously known as: 'Vermont Christmas Vacation,' however it was re-named 'A Christmas in Vermont.' Chevy Chase is the actor who made the original "Vacation Movie" franchise so popular in his role as Clark W. Griswold.

"National Lampoons Christmas Vacation" first premiered in theaters in 1989, and it remains a fan favorite to this day!

Now for details on this new movie...
