Like this one from IKEA, $39.99. Use the inspo below, and supplement with other party food that you can title according to the theme, like South Bend Shovel Slayer Salted Pretzel Bites. I’m a serial movie re-watcher during any season, but I’ll bet you agree with me that Christmas movies truly benefit from repeat viewing. Merry Christmas Ya Filthy Animal Sweatshirt, Funny Home Alone, Christmas Movie, Party xmas Gift, Womens Mens Unisex Crewneck SWEATSHIRT. Kevin can zipline to his backyard treehouse to foil the robbers. The LEGO Group was founded in Billund, Denmark in 1932 by Ole Kirk Kristiansen, its name derived from the two Danish words LEg GOdt, which mean “Play Well”.

From Home Alone's classic red-and-green palette to The Holiday's idyllic English cottage — these movies are cornucopias of charming ideas. The house’s walls and roof open up for easy access and it has many fun functions including swinging paint cans, a basement furnace that lights up and a lever to push Kevin down the stairs on his sled. Outside the games were even more fun! The “Brick Toss” corn hole into Kevins mouth, the “Pully Sling” to get the handle bars into the play house, and the “Army Man Shoot down” with nerf guns had to be the biggest hit! Don’t forget to “Race to The Gate” and claim you favor. The pinnacle in both Home Alone Movies has to be the scenes when Kevin is totally defeating the bad guys!

A fun game for the party — see who can guess how many poinsettias you can spot in the film. I promise it’s impossible to count. You can find poinsettias at your local nursery or grocery store.

This ice cream sundae cake is inspired by Kevin McAllister's meal in Home Alone. It's all part of how to throw a Home Alone party for the holidays. Thanks to the wonders of the internet, it’s easy to make or recreate a bunch of the movie’s iconic visuals for party decoration. Let the easy, romantic wonder of The Holiday inspire you to go simple with your holiday decor this year. All you really need to turn your space into a comfy British cottage is a pile of warm blankets.

The kids pinned the iron on Marv and Pin the fire on Harry. Wearing a snorkel mask, the kids places tiny irons and flames onto AMAZING portraits of the bad guys. These were hand drawn by Stacy of Thread Mama and came out absolutely perfect. Shipping policies vary, but many of our sellers offer free shipping when you purchase from them.

I’ll admit I loathe Chutes & Ladders but it’s not nearly as bad when there’s no where to go. Have a bonfire with your family and roast s’mores. Sing some old camp songs while you’re at it. I still remember a lot of mine from Girl Scout Days and I just know my kids have been waiting for the day when I sing “Make New Friends” and “Kookaburra” to them!

On the dresser I printed out a city scape by The House Lars Built. It was perfect with colors of pink, purples and golds. I used a chalkboard table runner and drew on it to look like a street- and there were tiny toy Taxi Cabs going up and down, just like NYC.

As the festive season draws in, the LEGO Ideas Home Alone set is designed to provide the ultimate holiday at home together and a unique building experience. Split into an Advent Calendar-like 24 build bags, you can build the iconic house in sequence with the movie, starting with meeting the robbers and their van and ending with Kevin’s reunion with his mum, Kate. Other features include the fireplace, Christmas tree, a toy train, grandfather clock, dining table and record player.

The LEGO Ideas Home Alone set is instantly recognisable, perfectly capturing the grand McCallister family home, and is also packed with features that tell the story of Kevin’s holiday antics. As well as the exterior, the interior layout is true to the movie and includes the ground and first floor, kitchen, basement and attic. A new opening mechanism opens up the house for full enjoyment; the walls separate in the middle to open sideways and fully reveal the interior, while the roof also opens upwards. In addition, the set comes complete with the main characters of the movie in LEGO minifigure form, including; Kevin, robbers Harry and Marv, the old man Marley – and Kevin’s mum Kate.

This is my first year of doing this and I’m having fun with all the planning. It’s soon enough to get started with easy kits. Find some twigs and roast some s’mores. Plus, roughing it is way more fun when you can go in your own house to use the bathroom.

I immediately called Itsy Bitsy to design stickers for the suitcases. The scene when the family is traveling to Miami and it was baggage claim where they realize Kevin is missing. Lindsey out did herself with six different sticker deigns all representing different elements of the movies and finished each bag with a tag that read “Hand This to Kevin”. The suitcases were filled with the coolest sensory kits from Bright Box. Little boxes of handmade play dough, tiny paint cans, a Christmas tree, spider, skyscrapers, jacks and toy cars.
