Randy Quaid played Cousin Eddie in 1989’s National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation, and his character and oblivion gave fans some comic relief. He recently posted a photo of himself toasting the holiday on X, and fans could not get over the adorable cup he used.
Randy’s photo featured him pouring out what looked like eggnog or milk into a glass cup with antlers on either side. “Only clean glass left,” his caption read. He wore a pair of blue jeans, a sweatshirt, and a hat.

Randy’s post has nearly a million views, and fans have taken to the comments to share their thoughts about his cute glass cup. “Made me smile,” someone said, while another shared a family photo of each of them holding the same antler glass cup. ”And it is the best glass ever,” they said.
Some complimented Randy’s outfit, especially his hat, which is likely a Stetson. Many were simply eager to show Randy they had been watching the Christmas Holiday. “The scene with you and the moose mug and egg nog has some of the funniest lines in any movie. I have always wondered how much of that scene was ad-libbed. Fantastic stuff!” they gushed.
