“Alone at Home” (1990), Disney +, HBO Max, Netflix, Viaplay
Chris Columbus directed the first (and second) film in which Macaulay Culkin plays Kevin McCallister, the boy who is forgotten back home when the whole family travels on Christmas vacation to Paris. What begins as a home-alone party quickly becomes scarier when two burglars challenge the peace of the house. This slapstick show with young hero has become a Christmas tradition for many.
–“Alone at Home 2: Abandoned in New York” (1992), Disney +, Viaplay
If you do not get enough of the mood to see Kevin McCallister left at home while the family goes to Paris, the fade continues the following year when Kevin ends up in a hotel in New York before Christmas. In the sequel, Kevin has to fight the same villains, and he also meets Donald Trump and a mysterious lady with pigeons.
