My favorite Christmas movie is Home Alone 2: Lost In New York. An honorable mention would be Elf because it’s just a cult classic, but I love Home Alone 2 because every year for Christmas, my family goes to New York City, and I can kind of relate to the movie. Seeing all the landmarks Kevin passes by and the whole plan against the Wet Bandits is great for the holiday season. I always watch it on the way to NYC, and I have to watch it multiple times each Christmas.

My favorite Christmas movie is Home Alone. That may be a very common answer, but I believe it is a worthy film to claim the title. The plot was fairly unique upon its release in 1990, and likely still would be if not for the sequels and knockoffs. The cast is largely made up of well-known actors and actresses, most of whom were very popular at the time. The film also has a great deal of nostalgia for me and many people, which I believe is a large part of why it is my favorite.

My favorite Christmas movie is Home Alone. I always grew up watching it at my dad’s house every Friday during December. I always enjoyed the humor and situations that Kevin McCallister found himself in. The original bandits are also very fun to watch get outsmarted by a child. Home Alone 2 is almost up there on my favorites list, but I would have to say that the original beats the sequel out.
