It's the Christmas season and the perfect reason to binge-watch classic holiday movies. Among the countless festive flicks, 'Home Alone' remains a standout favorite. Released in 1990, the movie also had a sequel, 'Home Alone 2: Lost in New York,' released in 1992. The beloved film, starring Macaulay Culkin in the lead, continues to grab headlines thanks to its feel-good storyline and powerful nostalgia factor. So, if you're planning a 'Home Alone' rewatch this holiday season, here's how you can stream the classic.
'Home Alone' is available to stream on Hulu and Disney+ for subscribers and can also be rented or purchased on Apple TV, Prime Video, and YouTube, as per Just Jared. You can subscribe to Hulu by selecting from their different plans. Subscribers can choose from standalone Hulu plans, Hulu + Live TV, or bundle options that include Disney+ and ESPN, with prices varying depending on whether ads are included, as per Hulu.
For example, the Disney+ & Hulu bundle starts at $12.99/month with ads or $19.99/month ad-free, while the Disney+, Hulu, & ESPN Select Bundle ranges from $19.99/month with ads to $29.99/month with ad-free Hulu. More extensive bundles like the Disney+, Hulu, ESPN Unlimited Bundle are available for $35.99/month with ads or $44.99/month with ad-free Hulu.
Talking about a possible movie in the franchise, Culkin revealed during his 'A Nostalgic Night with Macaulay Culkin' tour that he "wouldn't be completely allergic" to returning as Kevin McCallister in a 'Home Alone' sequel but added, "It would have to be just right." He also shared a pitch for the film, saying, "I kind of had this idea. I'm either a widower or a divorcee. I'm raising a kid and all that stuff. I'm working really hard and I'm not really paying enough attention and the kid is kind of getting miffed at me and then I get locked out. [Kevin’s son] won't let me in… and he's the one setting traps for me," as per Variety.
Culkin further explains, "The house is some sort of metaphor for our relationship," and his character must "get let back into [his] son's heart… I'm not completely allergic to it, the right thing." However, the director, Chris Columbus, is not in favour of another 'Home Alone' movie as he told Entertainment Tonight, "I think 'Home Alone' really exists as, not at this timepiece, but it was this very special moment, and you can't really recapture that. I think it's a mistake to try to go back and recapture something we did 35 years ago. I think it should be left alone."
