As an added bonus, the platform also hosts sequels Home Alone 2: Lost In New York and Home Alone 3, and Home Alone 4: Taking Back the House.

Home Sweet Home Alone, is also available to stream on Disney Plus.

Home Alone 2 is a direct sequel, with Kevin accidentally boarding the wrong plane as his family head to Florida, and ending up in the Big Apple.

After tricking his way into a room at the Plaza Hotel – bumping into Donald Trump on the way – Kevin is forced to confront the Wet Bandits once again, after they break out of jail.

While Home Alone 3 is written and produced by John Hughes, it is the first film not to be directed by Chris Columbus or to star Macaulay Culkin.

Alex D Linz plays Alex Pruitt, who has to defend his home from a band of spies working for a North Korean terrorist organisation, who are after a microchip that has accidentally ended up in Alex’s home.
