Home Alone - Watch Order: Release Order
The Home Alone franchise is best known for its first two films starring Kevin McCallister and his unforgettable run-ins with burglars during the holidays. This release watch order includes all four feature films, but it's important to note that only the first two are closely linked by story and characters.
Home Alone 3 and Home Sweet Home Alone are soft reboots, each telling a standalone tale with a new protagonist. There are also two made-for-TV movies not included in this list.
Home Alone
Eight-year-old Kevin McCallister makes the most of the situation after his family unwittingly leaves him behind when they go on Christmas vacation. When thieves try to break into his home, he puts up a fight like no other.
Home Alone 2: Lost in New York
Instead of flying to Florida with his folks, Kevin ends up alone in New York, where he gets a hotel room with his dad's credit card—despite problems from a clerk and meddling bellboy. But when Kevin runs into his old nemeses, the Wet Bandits, he's determined to foil their plans to rob a toy store on Christmas Eve.
Home Alone 3
9-year-old Alex Pruitt is home alone with the chicken pox. Turns out, due to a mix-up among nefarious spies, Alex was given a toy car concealing a top-secret microchip. Now Alex must fend off the spies as they try to break into his house to get it back.
Home Sweet Home Alone
After being left at home by himself for the holidays, 10-year-old Max Mercer must work to defend his home from a married couple who tries to steal back a valuable heirloom.
