If part of your Christmas ritual is enjoying the movies that are centered around the holiday, then you're sure to recognize the residences of these Christmas classics. Here are our top 3....
1. Holiday Inn
This home gets the top spot in my book. Maybe it's because it's set in CT (Midville, which doesn't exist actually - but you get the point), or maybe it's because I appreciate the enormous front porch, or maybe it's simply because I'm a Bing Crosby fan. Whatever the reason, this home, complete with an open floor plan, floor to ceiling windows and naturally, a dance floor, still maintains that cozy log cabin inspired feeling, sure to put anyone in the holiday mood.
2. National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation
Who can forget the Griswold's beautiful home in the suburbs of Chicago? Or how it looked after Ellen was able to figure out how to keep the lights on? The home, which in reality was located on the Warner Bros lot in Burbank, California, showcased the style of the late 80s with its mauve, aqua and pale yellow color palette. Wallpaper was still very much on trend, along with the use of plaid and an overabundance of decor. In the 80s, people didn't stage their homes as they do now, so it was perfectly acceptable to have a home that appeared "lived in".
