If you’re a fan of Christmas movies then you need no introduction to Home Alone. But today, a brand new reboot of the classic film is getting released titled Home Sweet Home Alone. What’s more, it was shot here in Canada and there are a few locations you can visit in real life.
The new Home Sweet Home Alone follows a similar plot as the original film. A young boy, this time named Max, is accidentally left at home as his family leaves for Christmas vacation. Like the original, he gets to enjoy all the fun things life has to offer sans parents but has to contend with some sneaky burglars.
As you would expect with a 2021 reboot, Max’s defense tactics are a little more modern but equally as MacGyver-esque as the original.
