Credit: 20th Century StudiosMillennials, get ready for some serious holiday nostalgia–the cast of Home Alone (1990) just reunited for the first time in over 30 years.
A staple of the season for millions worldwide, the Home Alone franchise produced some of the most popular Christmas movies ever. With six films produced from 1990 to 2021, the series has entertained generations of children, featuring entertainment icons like Joe Pesci, Catherine O’Hara, Tim Curry, and even a cameo from Donald Trump.
The McCallister family recently reunited for a fan meet-and-greet at Pandora’s Box Toys & Collectibles in Lafayette, New Jersey. The store shared these photos of the stars on Instagram, writing:
“Guys, I’m eating junk and watching rubbish! You better come out and stop me!!! Today’s event was so much fun! Thank you to Devin Ratray @devinratray , Kristin Minter @kristin_minter , Michael C Maronna, Angela Goethals @g0ethals , Jed Cohen and everyone who came out to meet them and celebrate their Home Alone Fandom with all of us today here at @pandorasboxtoysandcollectibles. This was the first time they had all been together in over 30 years! 🤯🎄🥰🎄 #homealone #homealonemovie #homealonemovies #90snostalgia”

The stars included Kristin Minter (Heather McCallister), Michael C Maronna (Jeff McCallister), Devin Ratray (Buzz McCallister), Angela Goethals (Linnie McCallister), and Jedidiah Cohen (Rod McCallister). Maronna, Ratray, and Goethals all starred as siblings of the main character, Kevin McCallister, while Minter and Cohen played cousins.
Unfortunately, it looks like someone forgot Kevin at home again–the iconic child star of the first two Home Alone movies, Macaulay Culkin, was notably missing from the reunion. The actor married actress Brenda Song in 2017; the pair share two children.
Home Alone Removed From Disney+?
The reunion comes a year after Disney+ briefly removed Home Alone and Home Alone 2: Lost in New York (1992) from its streaming platform in November 2023. Fans panicked because the change came amid a widespread content purge as The Walt Disney Company aimed to save money by cutting unpopular titles.
Luckily, fans didn’t have to wait long. The Christopher Columbus films, originally owned by 20th Century Fox, returned to Disney+ weeks later. The platform reassured fans that its disappearance was due to a temporary licensing dispute that had since been resolved.
