Get excited, ya filthy animals. In a larger-than-life tribute to Home Alone, Disney+ is celebrating the thirty-fifth anniversary of the beloved holiday classic throughout December. Fans can step into the world of the film by visiting a record-breaking gingerbread house modeled after the McCallister home, ordering “A Lovely Cheese Pizza” from Prince St. Pizza, and enjoying a smoother travel day with CLEAR. Viewers can also launch Disney+ with a little Home Alone-themed magic using the VIZIO Voice Remote.
The entire Home Alone franchise is now streaming on Disney+ and Hulu. Fans can also tune into a dedicated, nonstop stream of the first three films on Disney+, totaling 330 minutes of holiday chaos and heart.
“Disney+ is excited to celebrate a movie that’s become such a holiday staple for families everywhere, mine included,” said Zack Jerome, VP, Brand & Marketing Strategy, Disney+. “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.”
A Sweet Tribute – McCallister Home Recreated as Record-Breaking Gingerbread House
In an attempt to break an official GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS title that has stood since 2013, Disney+ and Hulu are building what is expected to be the world’s largest gingerbread house. Inspired by the iconic McCallister home from the first two films, the structure will measure approximately 58 feet long, 42 feet wide, and 25.6 feet tall.
Constructed using 5,700 pounds of all-purpose flour and more than 4,200 eggs, the house will be built from 4,400 gingerbread brick tiles and 800 roof tiles. Everything will be held together with 20 gallons of edible glue and finished with 20 pounds of fondant.
Weather permitting, the installation will be open to the public in the evenings on December 18 and 19 at Hollywood and Vine in Los Angeles, California. Visitors are encouraged to embrace the spirit of the season by donating a new, unwrapped toy to Toys for Tots on site.
Order a “Lovely Cheese Pizza” at Little Nero’s Pop-ups
From December 10 to 17, Disney+ is bringing the fictional Little Nero’s Pizzeria into the real world in partnership with Prince St. Pizza. Locations across the country will feature Little Nero’s branded pizza boxes, updated menus, and collectible packaging. Pizzerias in Chicago and Toronto will extend the experience with Little Nero’s inspired decor and in-store elements.
In Los Angeles, the Studio City Prince St. Pizza will undergo a full interior and exterior makeover, complete with nostalgic details and the iconic Little Nero’s delivery car parked out front for fans to photograph. In honor of Kevin’s unforgettable line, the classic cheese pizza will be temporarily renamed “The Lovely Cheese Pizza.”
“Kevin!” Clear makes Holiday Travel with “No Kevin Left Behind!”
Just in time for peak holiday travel, Disney+ and CLEAR are introducing a special “No Kevin Left Behind” airport activation running from December 17 to 21. At nine major United States airports, CLEAR+ Members will receive limited edition Home Alone-themed ornaments to add a little festive cheer to their journey.
As an added surprise and a playful nod to the film, CLEAR+ Members named Kevin who use select CLEAR+ lanes will receive a code for a complimentary CLEAR Concierge service for a future trip.
