Christie Brinkley and Chevy Chase are taking fans down a sweet memory lane. The actors reunited this week in a charming video that felt like stepping back into the 1980s. Brinkley and Chase once shared some of the most beautiful scenes in National Lampoon’s Vacation several years ago, and seeing them together again makes it even more attractive.
It has been 40 years since the original Vacation aired in 1983 and nearly 20 since Brinkley’s last appearance in Vegas Vacation (1997), the two stars came together once more, this time not for a movie but to celebrate Brinkley’s new memoir Uptown Girl.

Brinkley and Chase had a great time celebrating her latest memoir. In the video, filmed inside an empty restaurant, Brinkley approaches Chase as he sits at a table, and the moment instantly feels familiar. There is playful banter, laughter, and a touch of that old on-screen magic as she signs a copy of her book for him.
Meanwhile, the reunion did not stop there. There was a group shot from their lunch and a photo of the two leaning in close that reminded fans of just how much charm they still carry. Chase shared the sweet moment on social media, keeping the caption simple with just a few emojis that said everything.

The comments rolled in fast, with fans gushing over the heartwarming reunion. Many called it “the best,” while others admitted it brought a huge smile to their faces. One fan shared, “You guys gave us some of the best movie scenes ever,” while another chimed in, “So wonderful to see you two together again!”
Some reflected on how much the original Vacation films meant to them growing up, calling the video a “core memory unlocked.” Others appreciated seeing two old favorites together again, even if just for a few moments. This is not the first time the legendary actors have reunited. Last summer, Christie Brinkley and Chevy Chase surprised fans by appearing together in another nostalgic throwback, bringing even more joy to longtime followers of the Griswold family road trip saga.
