The 1989 holiday classic National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation nearly included a post-credits scene with Todd and Margo that would have explained a lingering question about the Griswolds’ chaotic festivities. While National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation is centered on the holiday experiences of the extended Griswold family tree, the movie also features a humorous subplot involving Clark, Ellen, Audrey, and Rusty’s next-door neighbors, the yuppie couple Todd (Nicholas Guest) and Margo (pre-Seinfeld Julia Louis-Dreyfus). The two neighbors often take the brunt of the Griswolds’ hijinks, such as Clark accidentally sending ice crashing through their window, with this running gag originally being intended to carry on in a post-credits sequence.
