December is right around the corner, so it’s the perfect time for TBSDinner and a Movie to show the holiday classic National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation. And in this week’s edition, which airs tonight, Nov. 30 at 8pm ET, hosts Jason Biggs and Jenny Mollen will be joined by Christmas Vacation star Beverly D’Angelo to celebrate the film’s 35th anniversary on Sunday.

D’Angelo will share some some behind-the-scenes facts about the film — and compete to see who can untangle Christmas lights the fastest, in a game that pays homage to the iconic scene from Christmas Vacation.
