Disney+ Has Hilarious New Way to Watch Home Alone

In celebration of the 35th anniversary of Home Alone, Disney+ is officially launching several fun tributes to the iconic Christmas comedy movie. One of these tributes will allow subscribers to watch the Macaulay Culkin-led classic in hilarious new way.

“Disney+ is excited to celebrate a movie that’s become such a holiday staple for families everywhere, mine included,” Disney+ executive Zack Jerome said in a statement. “We can’t wait to bring elements from the film into the real world so people can experience them up close, and if they share my enthusiasm, finally order ‘a lovely cheese pizza just for me’ from Little Nero’s.”

What’s the new way Disney+ users can watch Home Alone?

Starting from December 19 to 31, VIZIO users can launch the Disney+ app with a touch of holiday magic by simply saying (or shouting!) “KEVIN!” into the VIZIO Voice Remote. The command instantly takes viewers to Disney+ to stream Home Alone. This is a fun nod to the airplane scene from the movie, featuring Catherine O’Hara’s Kate yelling out her son’s name after finally realizing that they had accidentally left him at their house.

Besides experiencing a little Home Alone holiday magic on the VIZIO Voice Remote, Disney+ is also recreating the McCallister Home as a record-breaking gingerbread house. In an attempt to beat the official Guinness World Records title held since 2013, Disney+ and Hulu are constructing the world’s largest gingerbread house. The installation will stand at a whopping 58 feet long, 42 feet wide, and 25.6 feet tall. It will be open to the public in the evenings on December 18 and 19 at Hollywood and Vine in Los Angeles, California.

In addition, the streamer is also bringing the fictional Little Nero’s Pizzeria to life alongside Prince St. Pizza from December 10 to 17. Locations nationwide will feature Little Nero’s pizza boxes, updated menus, and collectible packaging, with pizzerias in Chicago and Toronto incorporating Little Nero’s decor and branded elements. Meanwhile, the Studio City location in Los Angeles will receive a full interior-and-exterior makeover, complete with nostalgic touches and the iconic Little Nero’s delivery car parked outside for the ultimate photo moment.

Disney+ has also partnered with CLEAR to roll out a special “No Kevin Left Behind” airport activation between December 17 and 21. At nine major airports across the United States, CLEAR+ Members will receive limited-edition Home Alone-themed ornaments to bring seasonal cheer to their travel day. In addition, lucky CLEAR+ members with the name of Kevin who use select CLEAR+ Lanes will be receiving a code for a complimentary CLEAR Concierge service for a future trip.

The Home Alone franchise began with the 1990 original starring Macaulay Culkin, which went on to become the highest-grossing film of that year, bringing in $476.6 million worldwide. Directed by Chris Columbus and conceived by John Hughes, the film went on to become a franchise with six total films, only two of which starred Culkin. The last entry was the Home Sweet Home Alone reboot in 2012, which debuted on Disney+.
