It's become a classic tradition for many to watch Home Alone on Christmas every year. In the film, Kevin McCallister is accidentally left alone at home while his family is away on vacation. To protect himself from burglars Harry and Marv, Kevin spends the holidays preparing for their arrival and fighting them off.
Recently, fans have noticed a heartbreaking split-second scene that makes Kevin's plight all the more sad. On Christmas Eve, Kevin sets out snacks and a glass of milk for Santa to enjoy while dropping off presents for his family. The next morning, the camera pans across his empty home and we see the untouched snacks, confirming that Father Christmas didn't make it to the McCallister residence that year.
Comedian Chris Ramsey noticed the heartbreaking detail and begged for the scene to be altered in the remastered version of the film. He said, “We should get every single copy – we should go to Disney+ – and they need to make that glass of milk, that he’s left out for Santa at the end of Home Alone, they need to CGI the milk out of that glass.” He then went on to suggest that if Santa wasn't thirsty by the time he got to the McCallister's, he should've at least drank the milk from their house.
This detail wasn't lost on other fans either, as many of them have taken to Twitter to express their upset. One user wrote, “In Home Alone, not only did Kevin wake up to an empty house on Christmas day, but he also probably realized that Santa isn’t real. The milk and cookies he left out weren’t consumed.” Another added, “Why didn’t Kevin freak out that Santa didn’t drink the milk or eat the cookies?”
It's understandable why fans are so moved by this scene. Despite the movie being released more than 30 years ago, it's still a timeless classic that viewers can relate to. And if you're looking for a good cry this Christmas, you can watch Home Alone on Disney+.
