Ever dreamed of brushing your teeth in the same bathroom Kevin McCallister once defended with paint cans? Pack your sense of adventure—and maybe a credit card with a few zeros.
The holidays in NYC are nothing short of magic, with opportunities for seasonal cheer lying in every corner, from magical tree lightings to festive movie nights and everything in between. But one of the most exciting things that this time of year brings out is the nostalgia associated with the classic holiday films that were shot right here in our own backyard.
From Buddy the Elf’s snowball fights in Central Park to the heartwarming magic of Miracle on 34th Street, where Macy’s windows and Santa’s wisdom make anything feel possible, revisiting these beloved films reminds us how Manhattan shimmers with holiday spirit and the kind of hope that only New York City at Christmastime can inspire.
And of course, no holiday stroll through Manhattan would be complete without thinking of Kevin, who famously swapped his Chicago adventures for the ultimate NYC escapade in Home Alone 2: Lost in New York.
Good news if you’re interested in the ultimate nostalgic holiday movie adventure: The Plaza Hotel offers a special package a-la Kevin’s adventures, where guests can quite literally step into the world of the iconic film.
