Production
In December 2023, it was announced that Chase was cast in the film.[11] In January 2024, it was announced that Doyle-Murray and Quaid were also cast in the film.[12] They reunite having worked together in the Vacation films (their casting in this film is most likely an allusion to the Christmas installment).[according to whom?]
Filming occurred in Utica, New York in January 2024.[13][14] Filming wrapped near the end of January that same year.[15][16] Local personalities such as Utica mayor Michael Galime and WKTV anchor Kristen Copeland filmed cameo roles.[3]
