The beloved Home Alone kids have reunited after three decades, and it's truly a heartwarming Christmas miracle. The movie, which tells the story of young Kevin McCallister defending his house against robbers, has been a holiday staple since its release in 1990. It has even spawned five sequels, including 2021's Home Sweet Home Alone, but the original cast hadn't gotten together since the 90s. That is, until now.
On Monday, Kristin Minter, Devin Ratray, and Michael C Maronna, who played Kevin's siblings Linnie, Buzz, and Jeff, reunited with their on-screen cousins Heather and Rob, portrayed by Kristin Minter and Jedidiah Cohen. The group had a special meet and greet with fans at Pandora's Box Toys & Collectibles in Lafayette, New Jersey, and the shop shared a photo of the reunion on their Instagram page. The internet went wild with excitement, with many fans expressing their love for the reunion and wishing they could have been there.
One notable absence from the reunion was Macaulay Culkin, who played Kevin in the original film. However, he recently reunited with his on-screen mom Catherine O'Hara in 2023 to unveil his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Catherine became emotional during the event and praised Macaulay for his role in making Home Alone a beloved family tradition. Last month, a fan shared a fan-made movie poster for a supposed new Home Alone film called Cabin Alone, which featured Macaulay and Catherine. But there have been no official announcements or trailers from Disney+ regarding this project.
After the success of Home Alone, two sequels were made, with Home Alone 2: Lost in New York released in 1992 and Home Alone 3 in 1997. The latter featured a different lead character, Alex Pruitt, played by Alex D Linz. In 2002, Home Alone 4: Taking Back the House was released, but it received negative reviews and featured French Stewart as a grown-up Kevin. The most recent film, Home Alone: The Holiday Heist, came out in 2012 and starred Christian Martyn as Finn Baxter. Unfortunately, it also received poor reviews, with a 15% score on Rotten Tomatoes.
It's clear that the original Home Alone will always hold a special place in our hearts, and it's heartwarming to see the cast reunite after so many years. Who knows, maybe there will be a true reunion in the future with all the original cast members, and we can't wait to see it. What a perfect holiday gift that would be!
