Christmas Vacation Tour - StandingOvationsLive.com

The movie kicks off with Erin Cahill sleuthing around, and I’m very confused because Erin Cahill isn’t Lacey Chabert. She’s climbing rocks with one hand and gets up to a rock with some sort of message on it. Suddenly, the rock slides back, and she finds a notebook. She’s pumped. AND THAT'S THE CHRISTMAS QUEST!

We're back in Boston, MA, and Erin Cahill is back home with her daughter. Her daughter gives her a compass as a Christmas gift. They cuddle up on the couch, and Erin opens the special book, sharing the story of the Yule Lads. Suddenly, it’s no longer Erin Cahill reading the story. Rather, it's Lacey Chabert, who is giving a lecture at Heast College about the book her mom found. Lacey's name is Dr. Baxter, Dr. Stefani Baxter! Her boss tells her she should go find the Yule Lads’ treasure. She’s skeptical, saying treasure hunters have been trying to find it for years, and her mom gave up. It’s impossible. But he insists, presenting her with a map that might be helpful, and suggests she try to figure it out during Christmas break.

Off she goes and finds a box with the Yule horn in it—pretty easily, actually. The horn is the key to finding the rest of the treasure, but she can’t read the language on the horn. However, she knows someone who can—HER EX-HUSBAND, CHASE. He’s happy to see her until he finds out it’s just because she needs him to translate something. But when he realizes it’s the Yule Horn, he can’t help himself. When he finds out they’re going to Iceland to try to find the rest of the treasure, he also can’t resist. Chase is on the case! Off to Iceland!

First stop is a church, where they find a message written on the bottom of one of the tiles. The second clue is a very cryptic message about light. They notice they’re being watched by some people as they continue their journey. They travel a couple of hours to an amazing cave and find another clue. That night, they go to a bar, and she talks to a friend about what happened between them. She loves him, but he was never happy with how devoted she was to her work and expeditions, so she let him go.

At the next hunt, they get stuck in a cave. One of the people who’ve been following them agrees to help them out.

We then get a montage of them finding another handful of clues. This montage includes a baking sequence, so we’re all better for it.

The clues ultimately bring them to an art exhibit. The only problem is that it’s closed for a fancy Christmas party. They get dressed up and almost kiss but are interrupted.

They head to the party and manage to sneak in. They can’t find the treasure anywhere, so they assume it must be in storage. They sneak a keycard from Hendrick. They get caught, so they just kiss to make the person go away. They find the final clue, and that’s when the guy funding the quest shows up and drops the bomb that he’s going to call the buyer to meet them! She says she thought this was going to a museum to help preserve history. He says, "As is." So she says, "I’m out!" But Chase says he’ll stay in case they need someone to read something. It turns out he just wanted to stay close so he could steal the clue back. He meets back up with Stefani.

As they’re on their way to the final clue, Stefani realizes she may have been wrong about it. They head to the first location and find another tunnel. They figure out how to open the door, and on the other side, it’s a Christmas wonderland full of Christmas... trinkets. They’re both like, “What the heck? This isn’t treasure. This is just junk.” But then she finds her mom’s compass. She realizes her mom has already found all the clues and been in this room. She realizes that her mom suddenly stopped treasure hunting one day. She must have learned that the real treasure is the people in your life, not actual treasure. She finds a note her mom wrote her. They head out, and they hear the Yule Lads laughing as the door slams shut again.

They kiss each other real big, the best treasure you can find. Then they go get some eggnog and kiss some more.
