The Dog Who Saved Christmas Vacation

The Dog Who Saved Christmas Vacation from 2010 is a fun-filled, heartwarming sequel to the original film, 'The Dog Who Saved Christmas'. Bound to be a seasonal favorite for the whole family, this film is an exhilarating blend of humor, mischief, and festive cheer that captures the spirit of Christmas and the magic of the holiday season. Starring Mario Lopez, Dean Cain, and Paris Hilton, it’s a warm-hearted tale that follows the misadventures of a canine hero.

The movie revolves around the Bannister family, featuring George, played by Gary Valentine, and his wife Belinda, brought to life by Elisa Donovan. Their lively children, Ben and Kara, are portrayed by Brennan Bailey and Caitlin Carmichael. They decide to spend the holidays in a beautiful Rocky Mountain lodge in Colorado instead of staying home for Christmas. Their friendly and protective dog, Zeus, a lovable Labrador Retriever, is voiced by the charming Mario Lopez, adding a delightful touch to the character.

In this charming sequel, Zeus finds he's not the only dog in town when he meets a high-maintenance poodle named Bella, who brings a whole new level of pet-peeves to the screen with her pompous attitude and posh mannerisms. This noble pooch is voiced by the celebrity heiress, Paris Hilton. Dean Cain cleverly portrays Ted Stein, Belinda's ridiculously competitive brother, adding an engaging interpersonal dynamic to the Bannister family vacation.

As the Bannisters prepare to indulge in winter activities and holiday festivities, they find themselves caught in a series of funny pet-related catastrophes that only a dog like Zeus could unravel. The family unknowingly becomes the target of a pair of familiar Christmas bandits Ted and Stewey, who are back from the previous movie to wreak havoc during the holiday season. Having managed to escape from jail, their mischievous plans include stealing a valuable necklace the Bannisters are keeping safe.

Zeus, with his indomitable spirit and uncanny knack for landing into inexplicable messes, takes it upon himself to skip the vacation vibes and step into the role of a protective guard dog once again. He teams up reluctantly with the snobbish Bella in a comedic cat-and-mouse chase to foil the burglars' plans, protect his family, and save Christmas vacation from going to the dogs.
