Fall River Restaurant Tipsy Toboggan Gets a Moose-Sized Shoutout from Chevy Chase

Fans of National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation will want to add Fall River’s Tipsy Toboggan to their holiday bucket list.

The restaurant’s newly-launched winter menu includes a festive nod to the classic film, and it recently caught the attention of none other than Chevy Chase himself.

One standout on the seasonal drink list is the cleverly named "Think It Matters, Eddie?" Inspired by the movie’s 35th anniversary, the drink features America’s first dairy-free and vegan-friendly hard oat nog, made with Misunderstood Ginger Spiced Whiskey and sustainably sourced GMO-free oat milk.

Even better? It’s served in a collectible moose cup, just like the one Clark Griswold uses in the film.

The idea for the themed drink came from Tipsy Toboggan’s general manager and cocktail maestro Vanessa Larrabee. When the restaurant shared a photo of the festive cup on Instagram, owner Karl Pelletier – a self-proclaimed Christmas Vacation superfan – couldn’t have anticipated what came next.

“Rebecca Pacheco, our event and social media guru, tagged Chevy Chase knowing it’s my favorite movie,” Pelletier said.

To their amazement, Chase not only liked the post but also shared it on his personal Instagram story, shining a national spotlight on the small Fall River establishment.

For Pelletier, it’s a dream come true.

“It’s surreal that the star of my favorite Christmas movie noticed us,” he said.

Whether you’re stopping in for the eggnog or just to snag the iconic moose cup, Tipsy Toboggan is making this holiday season one to remember.
