Quick, if someone were to ask you what the most Christmas-y movies with the biggest concentration of holiday spirit were, what would you say? For me, it’s a draw between the ‘Home Alone’ and ‘Harry Potter’ series.
Seeing as a lot of us will be spending the Winter holidays stuck at home (possibly alone like Kevin McCallister), we thought we’d delight you by showing you some of the most interesting hidden details in the ‘Home Alone’ movies. Scroll down and upvote your fave sneaky tidbits, collected from the awesome r/MovieDetails subreddit, dear Readers. Oh, and don't forget to check out Bored Panda's interview with one of the moderators of the subreddit about this magical and intricately-made film series, which hidden detail might just be the very best, and what lies at the core of 'Home Alone's' popularity.
Did you manage to spot all of these Easter eggs the last time you watched the movies? Have we missed anything? Which ‘Home Alone’ film has a special place in your heart? We can’t wait to hear what you think!
