Is it really Christmas if you dont watch Home Alone (the first one – we hasten to add)? Answer: no.

The 1990 comedy follows Kevin, played by Macauley Culkin, who is accidentally left behind when his family go on a holiday trip.

The film sees him fight off burglars and basically live out every childhood fantasy of consuming unlimited snacks and television.

But where can you steep yourself in nostalgia with the festive classic this year? Read on to find out.
