This might come as a shock to many people (myself included) but the classic holiday film, Home Alone, is celebrating it’s 25th Anniversary this year. Oh my goodness! Twenty-five years! I feel so old, and Kevin hasn’t aged a bit. LOL!
For my family it’s a MUST to watch both Home Alone and Home Alone 2: Lost in New York during the holiday season. Of course we tend to watch each one several times. We can never get bored with these fun, family films.
If you are unfamiliar with the film, Home Alone, it’s the story of a little boy named Kevin who wishes his family would disappear after he is punished for something he felt wasn’t his fault. The next morning he wakes up to find his family gone. They didn’t really disappear – they took off on a trip to France with their extended family and forgot Kevin at home. Kevin has the house to himself and enjoys his new freedom, that is until he realizes neighborhood burglars (the “Wet Bandits”) have made his home their next target.
In the sequel, Home Alone 2: Lost in New York, Kevin mistakenly takes the wrong plane. Instead of being in Florida with his family he finds himself in New York City. Much to his surprise the same burglars have escaped prison and are also in New York City. In a city filled with millions of people their paths cross and once again Kevin is determined to thwart their plans to burglarize a toy store.
I knew the film franchise went on to a third and fourth movie. I was surprised to find out there were five movies in all.
The third and fourth installment featured the McCallister family, but all of the characters are played by different people. The fifth film features an entirely new family. Each film features the main character being a young boy (like Kevin) and criminals.
To celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the original Home Alone film, Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment has released the Home Alone: Ultimate Collector’s Edition.
This fun gift set features all five films packaged in a branded paint can. If you remember the first film, Kevin used paint cans to knock down the burglars when they tried to chase him upstairs.
In addition you’ll find other great memorabilia from the original film including Kevin’s battle plan to stop the “Wet Bandits,” a wanted poster for Harry (Joe Pesci) and Marv (Daniel Stern), a Kevin McCallister Christmas ornament and a fake tarantula (remember when Kevin’s brother’s tarantula end up on Marv?).
I love the way Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment packaged this collector’s edition. It’s very creative and very fitting for this holiday classic.
Additionally, a gift set featuring Home Alone and Home Alone 2: Lost in New York will be available exclusively at Target and features both films on Blu-ray along with a warm and wearable reproduction of Kevin’s famous winter knit hat from the films.
To help you celebrate this special anniversary I have some fun, FREE printables you and your family can enjoy. Simply click on the image to pull up a larger image. Then you can save it to your computer and print it out at your leisure.

I have loved this movie since I was a kid I have gotten both of my kids addicted to watching it year round. I know that sounds a little crazy but it is the truth we have three DVD’s of each. Truthfully I would just like the gifts. The movies those can go to somebody who doesn’t have them. I just purchased the 25th anniversary DVDs of Home Alone and 2, which are our family favorites. The novelties are what interest me in this prize feel free to keep the movies and reraffle them. This would be awesome to add to our collection and pass it on for generations, thank you so much I’m actually watching it right now Merry Christmas America!!!
“KEEP THE MOVIES YA FILTHY ANIMAL!!!!!”
